that would be awesome. access to the sagetv recordings and the info on the xbox would be really cool. if someone posts the steps that would have to be done for that to work i would learn python and write that.

i just learnt that its possible to do smb from the ver of python installed in xbmc( i am kinda averse to running a webserver). it is not natively supported, but the myth tv script uses smb for file access. after downloading the script and prodding around, i found this file called smb.py which should take care of smb. i will testing smb this weekend on py if thats a go then this looks very possible.

with the new version of sage (4 studio) you may now be able to make a full xbmc client for sage.
this would definitely be a cool addition... use xbmc as your only connection to our tv and run sage as a back-end server.
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

samba works very well in xbmcmythtv.
depending on how sagetv handles live tv you may not be able to watch live tv with it.
with mythtv in linux we have the advantage of direct access to /dev/video device and can simply open it directly. it also has the advantage of an mysql database which python can connect to. this allows fetching of tv listings, recorded programs, and recording scheduals quickly and easily without xml parsing.
good luck to any developers who embark on a sagetv script. im sure many windows pvr users will be greatful
