It expects the video library to be open so it can pop up questions to the user when there are multiple choices, and there's not really any value to metadata without there being a frontend to view it.  The only reason that was added was for users who only access the video library through UPnP to update their content list.  The UPnP server had previously maintained its own independent auto updated list for that purpose.
