MBSki 1035 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 @Cheesegeezer Is it possible to add automatic commercial skipping to the credit skip plugin for files that have chapter markers specifically identifying the video blocks that are commercials? PlayOn creates files and automatically creates and tags the chapters associated with commercials. It would be really nice to be able to automatically skip the commercials in those files. Here's an example: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AoeIRL90LCrSr5suxb4p9TsWvaJLeg?e=6tDhql 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not EDL which is why @BillOatmanreferred me to the credit skip plugin instead since the file is using chapter marks to identify commercials.

Can are the chapters imported into emby? And can you take a screenshot of the chapters in Web UI. Are all the chapters named the same for commercials. I.e. Commercial1, Commercial2, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesegeezer 3089 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 hmmm food for thought. I will take a look, but it wont be for a while, because i'm busy with Client UI development for Audirium and Iridium and i've got a nice groove going on and don't really want to interrupt it. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who uses PlayOn will have these same commercial chapter marks included in their PlayOn recorded videos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4342 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 If the source files have the chapter marks then tbh a quick script to read them and convert to edl is probably ypur best bet. The introskip plugin is limited by design to one 'skip' only.. thus it's not really suitable. The com skip plugin sounds ideal, but just needs the edl file. Can you post a mediainfo json or text of a typical file .. I just need to see how it identifies the com chapters. The key tjing here is consistency. If it always uses 'Advertisement' as the name, then it should be fairly easy to convert to edl ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
