Can I make virtual scenes?

I have some films, rather than physically splitting the file into multiple parts, is there a way to create virtual scenes so I can just jump to a particular scene in the film?

Not at the moment, but it’s on the roadmap.

### **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** There ar…e cases where a stash user would want to view scenes that may exist in a single file separately without re-encoding the source file into separate files so they can be viewed as separate scenes within stash ### **Describe the solution you'd like** The solution has been discussed a few times and usually revolves around utilizing a similar system to Markers to determine the start and end points of a "sub-scene" within a file that has multiple scenes while leaving the source file as is ### **Describe alternatives you've considered** re-encoding the source file into separate files, this is undesirable as it changes the fingerprints of the file and goes against a core feature of stash where the source files remain untouched related issues: #260 #779

What would be the advantage to this over generating markers?

Unless I’m misunderstanding how markers work, markers are linked to tags so I’d need to create tags for each scene in the film. Not impossible to do just not what tags were intended for.
