I've got an idea for a new feature. Lets say I have a movie in AVI format (AVI file1), together with some other AVI's containing the special features/extras from the DVD, including some deleted scenes (AVI file 2).
Would it not be nice to have the ability to write some kind of playlist (as textfile), which contains the exact timecodes of AVI file1 and 2, in order to integrate the deleted scenes into the original AVI without reencoding a new avi file?
It could also be useful for TV-Shows where you want to skip the intro music of every episode. Instead of always skipping the intros of every single of the 100 episodes, someone could write such an extended playlist file for each episode, cutting out the intro. and later of course sharing the playlist files with the community.
For example I imagine a playlist file format like the following:
example playlist file to skip the intro of an episode
example playlist file for merging the deleted scenes of a movie into the main movie
What would be even nicer, if you could name those "playlists" the same like the movie file, so XBMC would load the "playlist" automatically (like it loads subtitles automatically). Of course the term "playlist" then would no longer fit.
Does such a feature maybe already exist? Would someone know how to accomplish that? How would you name such a feature?

/path/to/movie_deleted_scene.avi 0:00:00 0:09:21 # takes the deleted scene (whole duration) from another file
