Would using mySQL (or some other library managing software) cause the recently added to work as it did in Eden, without needing to make any additional changes?
FWIW, I'm not complaining, I don't think I can really complain about awesome free software that does pretty much everything I want it to.
Say you wanted to change the scraper you used, or wanted to refresh a movie to update the ratings, or the poster... anyway, there could be reasons someone wanted to fresh a movie or an episode.
Whether one uses mysql or the internal builtin XBMC db (which uses sqlite) is irrelevant with how the recently added works.

Whenever an item is scanned into the database it is at that time when the the date is populated in the database. (if you refresh that item, the same thing happens, the date is repopulated)
All that has changed with Frodo is by default, the date is taken from the timestamp of when the file was last modified.
If you change the behavior of recently added via advancedsettings after you've already scanned everything into the library the change will only affect items scanned after you made that change.
