(Get the code!)
Yeah, I understood you fixed the maximum, and why, so I preserved your default. The cache mechanism still works, so even with my tweak you only have to wait a bit longer (or less long if you shorten the period!) the 1st time the new search is executed. Afterwards startup is just as fast as with the default 14 days setting.
Keeping video references in cache over time is nice, but of little value to people who just start using the application (ever, or on a new machine/account), or who use it only sporadically (or who lost the cache for whatever reason).
It was easy enough to implement the configurable scanning period so if this were my code I would never consider imposing my own ideal compromise over the users' better knowledge of their own needs. Of course, if you know the upper limit in days above which Qarte no longer provides any videos that's something that can easily be imposed by setting the spinbox maximum.
