Request for help and Call to Arms: TV streaming on the Xbox threatened

Well, I got it, but it looks bad. What it does is:

1. get some more details on the file and find the location of the pieces (that is bad) file.
2. open the pieces file
3. download each piece into a single file

And then you have your file download. Now that sound good. However, it isn't and this is why:

The files (flv) consist of a number of 256kb large files. So if a flv has size 350MB (normal episode), it would contain: (350MB*1024kb/MB)/(256kb) = (358400kb)/(256kb) = 1400 pieces!!!! Now as a normal episode lasts about 45 minutes, that would mean that every piece would last 45mins*60s/1400 = 1.92 seconds!

So in my opinion it is NOT POSSIBLE to stream the files using XBMC. UNLESS MPlayer or DVDPlayer can play files while they are being downloaded. In that case I would start downloading all parts in a single (cache) file on the HD, after 10 or 20 parts are downloaded, I would start the playback of the file, and keep downloading until completed and hope that the playback would continue.

Could a DEV tell me if DVDPlayer/MPlayer is capable of that?
