I have written a little program (one of my first) that lets you paste youtube urls to your xbox. Equally you can drag & drop any file on your computer to the app and it will start playing on xbmc (useful if you want to quickly play a downloaded mp3.) It should soon have support for a few other video sites (metacafe, daily motion, ifilm etc.) I imagine something like this has been made before, anyway if it sounds useful.
