Post by: pauly139 on April 24, 2012, 12:27:20 am

Does anyone know of a way to manually create EDL files so I can use them with JTV recordings?

By "manually create" do you mean:

1. You want a way to manually start Comskip? If so it wouldn't do any good since Comskip will not respond to a jtv file.

Or

2. That you would enter the timings of the commercials in the edl file yourself. An edl file is just a text file showing the timings of the commercials in seconds. Here's an example:

0.00     12.35   0
476.91   615.75   0
1102.94   1237.54   0
1590.96   1774.54   0
1796.06   1797.23   0

ok I made a file with the same name as an AVI file, except with the EDL extension.

Works fine when played locally on the server, how the commercials are not skipped when playing on a client machine reading from that same server.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?
