That's true for the most part.
My concerns are not about code size, but more that it takes effort to keep that stuff working.
Especially in a year or so when the devs do not have the old (wrong) format xml's on their system, we still have to make sure reading old style xml's still works.
But then again, the code to do that is fairly simple, devs just have to keep this in mind when fixing/refactoring that area.
To summarize the issue: when downloading metadata from imdb for videos, the metadata is stored and read in a wrong format (xml next to the video file). Onlinevideos also stores metadata but in the correct format. when mixing those 2 (f.e. when you have the onlinevideos download folder also in the videos section), the videos section can't find the metadata and does not display the title and description.
I will add a backwards compatibility mode to my fix.
