Load edl file from the movie directory (-edl flag)

Postby Ptepic » Sun Jun 19, 2016 11:27 am

Hello:
One question (sorry, I am a beginner):
I have find out that it is possible to load an edl file to skip some parts of the movie (adding an -edl flag in the settings and the path to the edl file). Is it possible to set a path of the edl file in that way that the player loads the edl file automatically from the movie directory?

Example: I want to play a movie file in this directory: c:\movies\sicario\sicario.mkv
If there is in the folder c:\movies\sicario\ an edl file (called 'skip_scenes.edl', doesn't matter..), the player would load it automatically.

It would be very useful because now I have to copy the edl file to one exact directory, always the same...

Thank you very much, sorry for my english!

If the edl file has the same name of the video (in your example: c:\movies\sicario\sicario.edl) then SMPlayer will load the edl automatically.

However this only works when using mplayer as multimedia engine.
