I'm somewhat of a noobie when it comes to XBMC. I just came across is last week, and thoroughly LOVE what I see so far, as I'm trying desperately to setup a home media network where all of my movies are on my NAS and streamed to each location.
I've searched through all the of the forums using keywords that I can think of like 'Chapter', 'Scene', 'EDL', 'Markers' in trying to figure out how to get this working.
I'm trying to get an EDL working so I can do chapter skipping, but nothing I do seems to work. The EDL works fine for commercial skipping (action 0), but does not work for chapter skipping (action 2). Has anyone been able to use the EDL file for the Apple Mac? If so, can someone provide an example or a working EDL file that I may be able to use?
Hardware:
Apple MacBook Pro 17"
2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB Ram
Operating System:
OS X 10.5.7 (Leopard)
XBMC Information:
XBMC For Mac 9.04.1
Transparency! Skin
Movie:
Bridge To Terabithia.m4v
Format (from Quicktime) - JVT/AVC Coding, 720x480 (642x480 actual), AAC, Stero (R/L), 48.000 kHz
The movie was converted from the DVD using Handbrake 0.9.3 with the AppleTV preset. The only change to the preset is the exclusion of chapters markers (I read somewhere the chapter markers may impact XBMC).
I've tried 2 different version of my EDL, as outlined below. When I try to use the >| or |< buttons for chapter skipping, XBMC stops the movie and brings me back to the movie list.
Also, the times are the actual times on the DVD for the chapter markers. Neither version has worked.
Version 1:
1 00:05:55 2
2 00:08:16 2
3 00:12:52 2
4 00:20:05 2
5 00:27:20 2

12 01:08:45 2
13 01:12:02 2
14 01:22:43 2
15 01:29:22 2
Version 2:
1 355 2
2 496 2
3 772 2
4 1205 2
5 1640 2
6 2327 2
7 2905 2
8 3293 2
9 3383 2
10 3391 2
11 3881 2
12 4125 2
13 4322 2
14 4963 2
15 5362 2
I'd post a snippet of the log, but for the life of me I can't figure out where it's stored. I've checked ~/.xbmc and ~/Library/Application Support/XBMC to no avail.
Hopefully I've posted all of the required information needed. If not, please let me know what I'm missing.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Michael
