Edit decision list (EDL) #134

Open guyrichie opened 10 years ago

guyrichie commented 10 years ago

Hello All,

Just been reading http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Edit_decision_list. I have manged to get comskip (.txt) type files and MPlayer (.edl) type files to work when playing a video file via Videos-->Files.

The issue is when trying to play a recorded TV video file via LiveTV-->Recordings, the EDL file (either .txt or .edl) is not read!

I have discovered that a "marks" file works, however all entries are treated as cuts rather than scenes. As commercial detection software is not 100% accurate it would be better to use scene markers and jump between these scenes using NextScene & PreviousScene (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=keymap)

Q: Can the entries in the "marks" file be treated as scenes rather than cuts? - I think this pull request may be the answer to this question!!! https://github.com/pipelka/xbmc-addon-xvdr/pull/106 And/Or... Q: Can xbmc-addon-xvdr be modified to retrieve the supported EDL files (.Vprj, .edl, .txt & .avi.chapters.xml) and parse to XBMC?

Many thanks, Guy.

Hello All,

I pulled in the changes from https://github.com/pipelka/xbmc-addon-xvdr/pull/106 and this did resolve the issue in connection to the EDL "marks" file type as so described above. I did experience some lag/crashes on COMBREAK, but CUT (default), SCENE and MUTE worked fine.

The other 4nr XBMC EDL file types (.Vprj, .edl, .txt & .avi.chapters.xml) remain unsupported at present.

Many thanks, Guy.
