Actually, XBMC has support for playing back Myth recordings (And
managing/deleting them) natively. You need to add an entry to your
"Sources.xml" in the format:

myth://username:password@myth.host.name/

It's in beta now, but fairly stable. There's no Commercial Skip, and
no EPG. Commercial skip should be coming soon, but the EPG etc is
waiting on a GSoC project.
