    You're worrying because names were changed/simplified, but still effectively do the same thing they've always done.

    If you're looking for something to hold your tomatoes, does it really matter if you're handed a plate with "Salad Plate" printed across it and a bowl with "Oranges" etched into the side?

    Why have separate "Movies" and "Videos" library types when they effectively behave the same way? It's redundant. It also means messier menus with multiple options that do the same thing, which also means extra unneeded lines of code. Redundant lines of code like that serve no real purpose other than more things to change when working on updates or be forgotten and cause issues.

    The vast majority of users will just use TV shows and/or Movies anyway to suit their needs because what each type does is more important than what the type is called.

    If you're training videos are organized in a Subject/Part/Session manner, then TV Show library is probably best, but the issue is the removal of the "Videos" library type so I assume it's not the case therefore "Movies" library type is best since it behaves just like the "Videos" type did anyway.
