Hey, I have been trying to figure out the best way to do a GUI for creating edl's. I was thinking something that would let you toggle skip and mute on the video playing screen would be the easiest to use. I have been digging through the wiki and source, and though I see a couple different ways it could be done, they don't seem as straight forward as I would like. Does anybody know if there is a way it could be done in a plugin, or would the source code have to be modified? Thanks!

I guess it would be best if you describe your desired functionality in detail.

Sorry, I should have given a better description.
I am trying to make a plugin for creating clearplay/commercial skipping filters, but without having to fire up notepad and mark down times. Ideally, it would work like so:
-you start the plugin
-start watching your media
-when you get to something you want to skip, you click an onscreen button to start the edit
-when the edit is finished, click again
-continue watching/editing
-when you finish, a popup comes up that lets you name the filter and save it
When I looked at the wiki, I saw how to make windows and dialogs, but I didn't see anything about being able to add something to the onscreen menu. It also seems like instead of using a button, a keyboard shortcut might be easier, but I didn't see a built-in way to do that either.

Thanks! It looks really good, and I will definitely be using it.
I may be missing something extremely obvious, but I can't figure out how to get it where you can interact with the dialog and the rest of the interface at the same time. Would I have to add buttons to the dialog so that you can control the video and menus?
and would recommend my PyXBMCt GUI framework:
