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.

Quote:1) is it possible to acess an xml file via smb in the python version thats installed in xbmc ?i dont know if you can use python to access data via smb. try asking the question in the python forum.
Quote:2) how would i organize a http type url for my xml files ?as i said earlier you would need to share these xnl files via a webserver. you would then just use the same http:// url you use to access it from your pc.

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.

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

Wow, very old thread. I was just pointed here by Gamester17 from the One unified PVR/DVR/HTPC front-end (client GUI) thread. If anyone is still following this thread ,there is a script for SageTV if you haven't found it already on http://www.xbmcscripts.com/. It would be nice to have a true Python dev on board to help with it though. My cut and paste and hack approach can only get so much done with it, and it has sooo much potential.
