Just ran 0.5.2 on my system for the first time - all good (best I can tell!)
My system is Kodi 16.1 on Windows 10 with a MySQL 5.6.29 shared DB.
Database was created originally with XBMC 12.x (Frodo) and since then upgraded through 13.x (Gotham), Helix (14.x), and now up to 16.1 (Jarvis). Yes, I skipped Isengard (15.x) as that seemed a complete lemon of a build for Windows.. Anyway, point is that the database has been around the block a few times
Addon ran very quickly and based on the backup file size, DB only shrunk by 25KB (19,588 -> 19,563KB) but that's not too surprising given I don't play many videos from sources not in my sources.xml or the Apple itunes Movie Trailers addon which I added to the excludes.xml.
One observation I did make that you may want to add to the instructions is that the %AppData%\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\script.database.cleaner
folder doesn't exist by default. You have to change a setting in the addon to make the folder actually appear. You can then proceed to manually create the excludes.xml file.
