This is request to support proposed new definitions in edl files. Streaming services have made intro and credit skipping common. Adding native support for more EDL definitions would allow for addons to support it properly. Currently edl file support only these
0 - Cut
1 - Mute
2 - Scene Marker (if start and end times are specified, the end time is used)
3 - Commercial Break
My proposal is to add more definitions something gsoc project notrobro had implemented
4 - Intro
5 - Outro/Credits
6 - Recap
7 - Extra Scene/Epilogue
Once edl definitions are defined hopefully they will be implemented as a standard and implemented by other video players like srt.
There are multiple opensource projects that are using machines learning to detect intro and outro for all the episodes in a season/series.
But currently there is chicken and egg problem with no standard edl definitions for intro outro etc no one produces edl files with these. And with no edl files with intro outro no video player implements it either.
So I am hoping that this is implemented in Kodi 19 seeing as edl commercial skip was added to the Kodi default skin.
The upnext github thread talking about this a bit
