Hello,
I'm a master student of computer science in Germany and I recently had the idea to add some video cut capabilities to xbmc. The idea is to use ffmpeg as video decoding library and to provide a simple interface that allows the user to set cut marks and thereby remove advertisement or similar. Due to the use of ffmpeg I'm not sure whether it is possible to implement this feature as a plugin. The platform could also be an issue when using C/C++ as programming language. My target platform is Linux on an Intel x86 system but I would also try to support other systems like ARM and other operating systems like Windows.
My question now is whether or not this feature is of any interest for the community and a possible mentor in particular.
Greetings,
Stephan
