How has this gone under my radar for sooo long. I am a SageTV user as well and was involved in a couple of Sage <-> XBMC efforts in the past (old plugins and scripts). None ever got the recordings in the library. I've been thinking for a while now with the improved webserver and such in Sage some talented person could pull it off. I've read the first post and scanned through the thread. I am super excited to try this out!
Could this be made into a SageTV plugin that is configured from within Sage and then let Sage do all the heavy lifting?

I do not want my recordings to be transcoded or moved. I just want to link to them. Am I reading the config.xml right in that I need to use XBMCMySQLServer in order to do that?

OK, here's my latest conundrum. I have two shows (This Old House and Ask This Old House) that are aired on different dates depending on your local provider. Both shows are in TVDB, but the original air date is (rightfully so) listed as the first date the show could have possibly been aired. In this case that is a Thursday. My local PBS station shows both shows on Saturday. SAGE-XBMC doesn't match the episode information because the date doesn't match. So unless I allow manual archiving, the show doesn't get transfered.
I'm allowing manual transfers now just to get the show into XBMC, but it would be nice if there was some way to "try harder" to find the episode information. Given the need to find the episode information based on some unique piece of information, I understand why air date is used, and the only thing I can think of off hand is to check maybe four days either side of the current date if there is no match. Of course I can also envision that causing problems.
After all that, I'm not sure I'm even asking for a solution, just noting that for this use case manual archiving might be the only reasonable option available.
