I reckon this would be really easy to add to XBMC.

I'm suggesting adding all playable extensions that also have .part appended to the end as playable.

ie. my_vid.avi.part or my_vid.flv.part

This is because as a last resort, i sometimes download a videofile in my browser and then play the video in xbmc as its downloading. I imagine lots of other users do this as well.

Currently i'm using a messy solution of making all .part files playable by xbmc my advancedsettings.xml

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <videoextensions>
    <add>.part</add>
  </videoextensions>
</advancedsettings>

although i could change it to be like this:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <videoextensions>
    <add>.avi.part .mkv.part .divx.part</add>
  </videoextensions>
</advancedsettings>

but then i have to redefine every file format.

I second this. As of now playing a .part file means grabbing the keyboard/mouse and opening vlc. it'd be nice to have it integrated.
