i didn't see this posted anywhere and thought it was pretty spiffy so here it goes.
ever since i got my video ipod i found tons of legal free video podcasts (abc news now, etc) and now i got them to work for xbmc.
steps:
1. create a share for your podcast folder (mine was in my music\itunes)
2. edit your xboxmediacenter.xml to accept the video files. (i did a search for avi and then added the entensions for the files (mine were m4v i think)
3. sit back in your couch and pull up xbmc and you can now watch your favorite video podcasts on tv.
if you keep itunes on with auto update you will have new content every day. (this also works for the google video format, as well, which plays but the extention is not in the xml)
