i'm still a relative to noobie to the python scripting side of xbmc, but i'm wondering how difficult it would be to set up a script that would allow me to watch streamed video and audio content from mlb.com. i'm a subscriber and it uses real player to stream the video. is this possible? any help would be appreciated.

there were posts requesting something like this last year. nothing ever came of it. your best bet is to use the urlpaster python script to send the url stream to the box to get it to play. either i or someone else posted a short walkthrough on either this site or xbox-scene.com. the play clipboard option of the http api would probably work as well. also, you should use the wmv stream. real videos and realplayer are the devil.

edit: couldn't find the post. your best bet is to try the play clipboard feature of the http api. that way you don't have to run a script on the box. switch to wmv stream for mlb.tv. let the video load. right click on the player on the window and go to properties. copy the location url. use the api command. this all must be done quickly as the url expires if not being used. i haven't tested the play clipboard command, so i'm not sure if it will work in this case. search for http api for a big post outlining the use use of the api. hope this helps.
