1.1 MPlayer EDL

Classic MPlayer EDL files are supported. Kodi also supports an extended version of this file format that allows extra functionality as outlined below. The name of the file must be the same as the video file but with a file extension of .edl.

The file contains the start and end times of the edits along with the type of action associated with each edit. The file format is:

[start time] [end time] [action]

Start and end times can be defined as seconds, HH:MM:SS.sss, or frames. To specify frames precede the frame number with the # symbol. The original MPlayer EDL files only support seconds for start and end times.

The actions supported by this file format have also been extended by Kodi to include Scene Marker and Commercial Break actions since the original format only supports Cut and Mute. Supported actions are:

• 0 - Cut
• 1 - Mute
• 2 - Scene Marker (if start and end times are specified, the end time is used)
• 3 - Commercial Break
