Its not working 100% with the file method though. And you will get into file locking issues with the file as well. You definitely need to write to a tmp file and then mv it to the file name you want if that is not already being done as if not xbmc will ultimately read a partially written file at some point. I've already had a few cases of being kicked out of tonights wash/edmonton feed and I have not been watching that long. Yes using a little http proxy is ugly but it is by far more elegant then writing to disk every 10 seconds and if you are in a sitation with a RPi or other device using an sdcard its going to be much better as its not doing unneeded writes to shorten the life of flash media.
Edit: For me XBMC + NHL Gamecenter has always had crashing issues on windows. On ubuntu though (my htpc) it is fine.
