Getting XBMC to work with mythtv is probably a two-step problem of a difficulty that is probably either way above or way below my expectations.
1. Get XBMC to talk to MythTv's backend (or just it's database) to find out what recorded programs are available.
2. Make sure that XBMC has the ability to play (and fastforward/rewind) those programs, and manage what programs are available.
It's probably not trivial, but it probably wouldn't be too time intensive either.
Either way, it would probably take someone familiar with XBMC and MythTV to pull it off right.
Also there is the problem of selecting shows to record, but that can probably be done with the web interface in the short term.
