What's the time frame for getting this file?
Off topic, but, Will it be possible for a developer to create an app that let's you hook up an external drive and be able to download videos from the web to the drive and play them later?
@devpal: why can't you use Logitech Media Player for streaming? Works great for me from my MBP using TwonkyMedia Server
It used to work fairly well, but after one of the latter updates, it started having all sorts of problems with just about every type of video codec and every media server I've tried with it. I have not had these same problems with my Sony GTV, though. It has gotten to the point that I have hooked my jailbroken iPad to my TV and used XBMC off that instead of banging my head against the wall with the Revue.
I'm hoping that this HC release will give us the ability to edit the necessary files so that Hulu and other blocked content will again work.
One concern though. Is there a way to disable updates so that Google/Logitech doesn't force a patch which would prevent the use of this HC version? The jailbreak for Apple TV has this sort of update block installed (and it was a lifesaver for me when I ran a 1st gen Apple TV as my media server).
