The previous version of MythVideo continues to work - if you don't want the 
new features you don't have to upgrade. 

That being said, once I finish the video list section it will be very much 
like the previous version of MythVideo. In addition, I'm sure it wouldn't be 
hard for someone to write a small application that can insert the data 
manually if you wish to add artwork and/or director/year information.

I think it would be silly to maintain two versions when the new version can 
act extactly like the old version with some simple changes to the video-
ui.xml file.

One question though, is it that you don't have any movies that are contained 
in IMDB? Are they in IMDB, just in a different language? Is there another 
reliable source for your movie information?
