What is the easiest way to launch XBMC and play a movie from a certain timepoint?

Apparently there aren't many command line options (ref), and the XBMC python scripts seem to be designed to run from within XBMC, once it is launched (ref). Also, I want to be able to play files that are not necessarily in the XBMC media library.

Why not use something like mplayer or VLC to play these files? You're trying to use a hammer to drive screws. – Pete Ashdown Dec 30 '10 at 22:56
XBMC please. "Alternatives to XBMC" would be a better question for your comment. You might even score points there ;-) – pufferfish Dec 31 '10 at 17:27
