Comskip Chapters

FFmpeg Builder: Comskip Chapters

This flow element will look for a comskip .edl file matching the working file. eg /media/movies/mymovie.mkv /media/movies/mymovie.edl If found, it will then read this file and create a chapters metadata file at the times specified in that .edl file. It will then update "FFmpeg Builder" to include this metadata file when "FFmpeg Builder: Executor" is called and the output file will have chapters at these points.

The only processing that happens in this node is reading the .edl file and creating a text metadata file.

Run Comskip

Run comskip against the file if no comskip (EDL) file is found.


Outputs

  1. A .edl file was found with chapters and a metadata file has been created
  2. No .edl file or no chapters were found.

Comskip.ini

The default comskip.ini file will be used unless you specify a custom one.

This can be done via

  • Variables
    • Create a variable comskipini on the Variables page with the location of the comskip.ini or the contents of the comskip.ini
  • Flow Variable
    • You can create the same variable in the flow comskipini and either set that variable to the location of the comskip.ini or the contents of the comskip.ini
