Support for VLC player

[kefir_sub]

Hello,

I saw on VLC forum that there was a discussion over a year ago about getting VLC to understand output from comskip.
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16685

Is there any progress on this issue?

I find VLC a superior player to zoomplayer and all others, it would be great if comskip could produce something like cut/chapter files for VLC.

Regards,

No progress at VLC side.
I am willing to add whatever output format VLC likes.

VLC Media Player is considered one of the world's best players.VLC Media Player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.

I have not been asked any question
Maybe you can revive the topic at the VLC forum

Sorry for digging out this thread, but I was wondering if XSPF format is suitable for commercial skipping and if it's supported already (couldn't find it on latest donator's but I might be blind):
https://wiki.videolan.org/XSPF/ (forum rank doesn't allow me to post links)

What player do you suggest to use?

Thanks in advance.

Comskip can not output XSPF.
Can someone test if a playlist written in XSPF with a number of tracks referring to always the same file and the start/stop defineing each of the show segments would work in an acceptable way.

Once that is confirmed it would be possible to add a bare minimum XSPF output to comskip that mirrors the tested playlist

According to this, it does: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_decis ... DL_cutting (still can't use forum URL tag)
I am not sure how to create a test, but I will do my best.

EDIT: A deeper search revealed this: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=56998
So I've got lazy and decided to try using M3U instead

Input tesfile.edl file (as created by comskip):

Code: Select all

554.52	1298.64	3
4793.80	5012.80	3
9155.08	9374.80	3 

Output testfile.m3u file (as built by me for VLC):

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:15300
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=554.52
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=1298.64
V:\testfile.ts
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=4793.80
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=5012.80
V:\testfile.ts
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=9155.08
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=9374.80
V:\testfile.ts

Result: VLC jumps correctly to correct segments: Success!

But this method doesn't let me see segments that are cut by mistake by comskip, so I guess I still need an advice of a standalone player (i.e. not XBMC) that can do that, any ideas?
