Hi,
My directory listing is:
Quote:00001.ts
00001.edl
00002.ts
00002.edl
Va.strm
Va.edl
I can play 00001.ts, and the commercials are skipped (as expected). Also playing 00002.ts works fine, the commercials are skipped.
But, if I play Va.strm, the commercials are not skipped
.
The content of Va.strm is:
Quote:stack:///video/Vanilla_Sky/2017-04-17.20.12.21-0.rec/00001.ts , /video/Vanilla_Sky/2017-04-17.20.12.21-0.rec/00002.ts
So the files 00001.ts and 00002.ts are played.
What can I do to get the commercials skipped while playing Va.strm?
Va.edl is:
Quote:0.1 161.2 3
2010.19 2442.19 3
3641.08 4185.04 3
5349.16 5820.13 3
6977.2 7353.04 3
8551.18 8931.22 3

Hi,
My own thread, somewhat old, but still not working.
Should I create a bug report?
Or, are these edl files just not intended to work with strm files?
Best, Markus
Hey,
i've been working and revisiting EDL functionality in Kodi (in order to extend it with new use cases like intro/outro). I am familiar with most of the code by now.
strm files are technically playlists so I think it makes sense *not* to allow raw EDL functionality for them - what you report is not a bug but the expected functionality. There is simply no way to make sure all strm use cases will work with EDL.
However the way I plan to extend EDL also includes support for the python API and there the most straightforward way to pass information to the listitem is via properties. This means you'll also be able to define EDL edits in strm files (via KODI-PROPs just like those used to force playback in inputstream add-ons). Can't promise when this will be available but hopefully it won't take long.
Hi,
Thank you for your answer!
As strm files are playlists, looking at my example, 00001.ts and 00002.ts will be played by the playlist.
So, would it be possible to support edl files for the items played by the playlist? Just as if I would not use the playlist (strm file), but play each item individually?
Thanks for your answers and your help, Markus
.strm files play like this for me, too. On my Android version of Kodi, .strm files play correctly, but on this Windows 10 version, it plays the .strm file as if it were the Blu-ray disk (commercials and all). I've asked for help, but nobody's responded, even though I've posted the logs. If you figure it out, please post your solution....
