Sorry, n00b question that I couldn't find an answer to, Google, wiki or here in the forums... (coming from a Boxee for PC background)
There are certain things I download that I only wish to view once, and then will be deleting (eg. sports events).
How do I go about watching these types of files in XBMC? It seems clunky to have to add the file to my library, watch it, then delete/remove it afterwards.
In Boxee I could just browse to my Staging folder, select the newly downloaded file and play it directly from there.
Is there similar browse-and-play functionality in XBMC? Yes, I'm aware I could just play the file in VLC from Explorer, but since I'm getting XBMC setup as my new HTPC app I'd like to be able to do it all from within.
Thanks!
