Navi-X script 3.3.1 XBMC version unknown

Request to download a video with a script and be able to play this video while 
it is being downloaded. I know this is an issue on XBMC. But I wonder If you 
already make a ticket for it. If not, Can you do this? Because you can explain 
the request in technical terms. And this will give a better change of a 
responds and a fix.

Progressive download is possible I think. Solution would look like this:
1. On start download create a xbmc playlist containing e.g. 10 entries (movie 
subparts)
2. Download the movie in parts according the playlist entries (movie.part1.avi, 
movie.part2.avi, etc.)
3. Start playlist playback when the first part is downloaded.

This may not work with all files.

My concern is that subtitles are not working this way.
They would not work in synch. Is that so?

And you know which file doesn't work?
I prefer to see a way that everything works.
I already see complaints of people coming to say this ain't working for them.
Or at least make clear from script which files you won't be able to do so if 
you are trying this.

Yes subtitles probably will not work with my solution. 

The main problem is multiple access to a file. When a file is downloaded the 
file is locked for writing. The XBMC player cannot access this file during this 
time. Maybe there is a trick for this but I need to investigate.
