EDL_FileMaker
Create EDL files for smplayer easily.
What is an EDL file?
An EDL file or "Edit Decision List" allows you to automatically skip or mute sections of videos during playback, based on a movie specific EDL configuration file.
What It Does:
This program will scan through an .srt (subtitle) file against a list of bad words that can be modified by the user. It will create an .edl file that is formatted for SMPlayer with the same name as the .srt file. Updated, another text file is created that contains all the times and subtitles that are blocked, so you can double check to see if you really want something muted or not, because context is everything.
The program also allows you to add in your own skip scene times and allows you adjust the start and stop times independently of one another if you find it off a little, because every computer is different.
Features
- Scan subtitle file and create EDL file in seconds
- Adjust start and stop times down to the millisecond
- Add your own skip file and merge it with the edl file

I use EDL maker to read SRT subtitle files and extract the timings of swear words based upon a predefined list of words into an EDL file. EDL maker provides a list of profanities to start with and this can be modified. The generated EDL timings file can then be placed in the same location and with the same name as the video file. When played through Kodi it automatically mutes the volume at the time of the swear words. Thank you so much for developing! I use this all of the time. I can't see a way of contacting the author but have you considered making a timer app that could import an EDL file and mute the PC master volume based upon the timings in the EDL file? iF started at the same time as the streaming video, this could the be used to mute swearing on streaming platforms like Amazon and Apple TV.

Great barebones program which allows you to scan a subtitle file (.srt) for profanity and create an Edit Data List (.edl file) which, when used with mplayer, will allow you to skip or mute the profanity as the movie plays. You can use free Mplayer (mplayerhq.hu). Use the command line version. Type cmd in windows search bar to access the windows command line Change to your mplayer directory (using Change directory recurse up CD.. and Change Directory CD) Assuming your movie and .edl file are in the mplayer directory, type: mplayer -edl <moviename>.edl <moviename>.mp4
