Infuse is my go-to for Movies and TV Shows. But as far as Live TV recordings, I solely use Plex or Channels DVR because they allow commercial skipping of recorded content. The way it works is through EDL files associated with the video files in the same directory for each video. If the EDL has a time marker that basically says “Skip this portion of the video” then the media player skips past that marker.
Right now MrMC on apple tv supports EDL’s but I hate hate hate the clunky old school interface it uses. I’d much rather use Infuse.
Having EDL support in a future Infuse release would mean I can ditch yet another app and integrate a more harmonious media ecosystem in my home.
Please FireCore, can you guys add EDL file support?
I 100% agree. Being able to skip commercials for OTA Antenna recorded shows would be a killer feature. It would make Infuse my default playback app for all content, and probably would for many other people as well, since Plex does not support EDL files, and that has people looking for alternatives.
Would you please consider adding support for EDL files so that commercials can be autoskipped?
Add me to this request list. Recording with TvMosaic inserts comskip but Infuse doesn’t utilize the markers. Please add this feature, would be much appreciated.
I’ve not had any success with EDL support in Infuse 6 Pro - is EDL supported?
I have quite a few recorded DVR movies I’d like to pull into Infuse and watch without commercials. I use the channels app to record them but would like to use Infuse for all of my Movies.
After searching the forum, i cannot find anything related to supporting Plex commercials skip feature (using the plex * detect commercials and mark for skip" feature ) . I would be surprised to be the only Infuse user wishing for this feature to get added
Saw the recent integration of STRMLNK files which I think originated from ChannelsDVR.
Hoping with that in mind, the devs would look into also adding support for EDLs for commercial skipping, as well as DVB_teletext subtitle support.
That was I can point infuse at my channelsDVR data and get streamlinks as well as my recorded content with subtitles.
Currently any MPEG-TS file with DVB_teletext is not able to display any subtitles, nor do any appear to be selected.
The great thing about the channelsDVR EDL files is the ability to edit/verify them in the web interface after commercial detection has taken place to get the commercial breaks spot on. Where as plex’s commercials stay as whatever is detected, which can be off a lot of the time.
