In case anyone is interested, I have developed a web app to create .edl files and modified / filtered (family friendly) subtitle files.

https://www.filterflix.com

Regarding the creation of .edl files:

• 2 .edl files are created.
  • One is the regular "ready to use" .edl file.  This is a bit different from the ones we may be used to seeing from the "Open Beta - Mute Profanity" Kodi plugin.  
    • There is no preamble of **** which was causing certain versions of kodi to skip the .edl file. (and thus not work)
      
    • The "Open Beta - Mute Profanity" .edl file only listed the word that was skipped which sometimes made it hard to determine if it was an "appropriate" skip or not.  This one will list the phrase so that the word can be seen in context and thus the decision of whether to include the skip or not is easier to make
      
  • The other edl file created here is a "testing" edl.  BIG THANKS to @MovieCleanup for this idea!!!   (See his post here).  He brilliantly created a windows script that would create a testing edl from the regular edl file on your computer. I decided to include the creation of a similar testing edl file (through a different process) automatically at the same time as the regular .edl file creation.
    • When you want to use the "Testing" .edl file, the file name needs to be renamed by removing the "TESTING" text and thus match the movie file (and thus the regular .edl will need to be temporarily renamed or moved out of the folder)
      
    • When watching the movie in kodi, The Testing .edl file will have kodi skip the movie to 5 seconds before and a few seconds after every "mute" / filtered word.  This way, you can "test" the timing of the filters as sometimes the subtitles don't exactly match up with the dialogue.  Adjustments can thus be made to the timing of the filter. (Obviously the timing adjustments will need to be made in the regular .EDL file as well!!)
      
• There is an option to filter ALL profanities (STRICT) or to not filter a list of a few words.  (I could build this out further, not sure yet.)
  
• Filter Timing - If you have a really good subtitle / dialogue match, you may want to try the option to "Mute Predicted Word Position".  This sets the mute to occur at the predicted time within the subtitle line according to when the swear occurs.  Thus - a much shorter mute but slightly higher chance of missing the profanity. . . . The other option is to filter the entire line which is what the "Open Beta - Mute Profanity" Kodi plugin does.
  

Regarding the creation of modified subtitle (.srt) files:

• There is an option for the "to be filtered" words in the subtitle file to be replaced with optional text.
  • You can choose a single word
    • Marshmallow, Watermelon
      
  • you can choose a category from which a random word will be selected for each separate filtered word.
    • Random Fruits and Vegetables, Random Mythological Gods, Random Cheeses, Random Animals
      
• 2 subtitle (SRT) files will be created.
  • One subtitle file will have the entire subtitles (with the filtered words replaced.)
    
  • The other subtitle file will ONLY contain those subtitles whose lines were muted by the filter. Accordingly, if you turn the subtitles on for the movie and choose this subtitle file, the (modified) subtitles will only be displayed during muted sections.  
    

I am NOT a programmer.  I don't have any coding training.  This was simply a pandemic project that I worked through with much trial and error and reading forums and watching youtube videos!!   So if there are any suggestions let me know, though my skill set here is rather limited . . .

Is filterflix.com still working? I used it for the first time last week, and it worked great. I like the options much better than other solutions that I tried, however I now cannot seem to get it to work now.

I really like the options on this, such as muting the word only when having an accurate subtitle file. Felt so much cleaner than the MuteProfanity plugin.
