Description
Some video apps like mplayer, kodi and now it seems like jellyfin are adding support for edl files as they are introducing intro and outro support. As I use mpv player with jellyfin I am hoping the support for such edl files will be added to mpv as well. And it is adopted by all other video players.
https://kodi.wiki/view/Edit_decision_list
0 - Cut
1 - Mute
2 - Scene Marker (if start and end times are specified, the end time is used)
3 - Commercial Break
Currently the actions above are supported only with sporadic discussions about adding intro, outro and recap as
4 - Intro
5 - Outro
6 - Recap
I hope this can be adopted by all video players so that in the future we can share edl files like we share subtitle files

Research direction
Start with the Kodi Edit Decision List specification linked in the issue and compare its action codes with mpv's current behavior. No mpv file, test, or entry point is identified; done would require a decided scope for compatible EDL support, including the listed cut, mute, scene-marker, and commercial-break actions.
