I have not yet bought a clear play DVD player because i keep hoping they will come out with one that is a blu ray. But i was thinking would it be possible to write a app of some sort that would work under XBMC as i doubt apple would allow something straight on ATV2 due to licenses and all.
Something that worked like the clear play does. If you don't know what it is it is basically a dvd player that has filters downloaded to it that scan movies for extreme violence, nudity and profanity and you can have these filters filter out this in your movie if you so desire or some of it yet it does it in a way that does not take away from the movie so you don't miss anything.
So am i just thinking crazy or would it be possible?

Your job would be to take whatever source you have that highlights the naughty bits and generate an EDL so that XBMC will skip automatically to those naughty bits, saving you viewing all the boring non-nude, non-violent bits
Cheers,

Please tell me it's possible to do the reverse and use the EDL files to "jump to the good parts"

that is probably beyond my scope of doing. Im not that techie i guess. There use to be a device that went between your tv and your player dvd, vcr whatever. But it never got updated to do HD of any kind
