How does this work?
- marco1 11y agoThanks for your question! The README tries to explain a lot of the things, but I can answer questions here, of course, and give an overview. All in all, the idea is quite simple and the project doesn't really do that much, yet. As an alternative to commercial providers for content filters, family filters, etc., this project tries to establish an open format that can be used to describe any video source. The filters are split into several categories where each has "severity" level. This way, you can adjust the filters to your personal needs and wishes when using them. Example: You are terribly frightened by fire because you have some childhood trauma. But you don't care about violence and blood splatters at all. For me, this might be the other way round. So if we can adjust the filters to our needs, they can be useful to both of us. Since nobody supports this format today (nobody even knew of it until today), a web tool is provided that lets you "transpile" the filters to three popular playlist formats.
- walterbell 11y agoWhat are the playlist formats? Are there video players which seamlessly buffer and play content based on start/stop times defined in playlists?
- marco1 11y agoAs outlined in the README, the playlist formats are: * XSPF for VLC media player * M3U for VLC media player * EDL for MPlayer And yes, they do support seamless plaback based on start/stop times.
