Hi, I'm trying to create a custom context item add-on, following the instructions on the Wiki (Context_Item_Add-ons (wiki)). I'm running Kodi Matrix (v19), the latest stable release. I downloaded the Hello World Add-on (HOW-TO:HelloWorld_addon (wiki)) and, after changing the python dependency to Python 3 installed it without issue. I'm trying to convert it into a context item add-on, but I'm not having any luck. Here is my addon.xml:

xml:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<addon id="script.hello.world" name="Hello World" version="1.0.2" provider-name="zag">

    <requires>

        <import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.14.0"/>

    </requires>

    <extension point="xbmc.python.script" library="addon.py">

        <provides>executable</provides>

    </extension>

    <extension point="kodi.context.item">

        <menu id="kodi.core.main">

            <item library="contextitem.py">

                <label>TEST</label>

                <visible>true</visible>

            </item>

        </menu>

    </extension>

    <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">

        <platform>all</platform>

        <summary lang="en">Popup Hello World</summary>

        <description lang="en">Example Script to show Hello World</description>

        <news>Updated the addon to use new addon.xml metadata</news>

    </extension>

</addon>

To be clear, the only change I made from the working add-on is adding the extension point for the kodi context item:

xml:


    <extension point="kodi.context.item">

        <menu id="kodi.core.main">

            <item library="contextitem.py">

                <label>TEST</label>

                <visible>true</visible>

            </item>

        </menu>

    </extension>

The only relevant excerpt from the Kodi logs:

Code:

DEBUG<general>: CAddonInstaller: installing from zip '/home/admin/Documents/addons/script.hello.world-master.zip'
ERROR<general>: CAddonInfoBuilder::Generate: Unable to load 'zip://%2fhome%2fadmin%2fDocuments%2faddons%2fscript.hello.world-master.zip/script.hello.world-master/addon.xml', Line 29
Error reading end tag

Whoops, sorry, I'm posting on a different device. I forgot to edit the Python version above. It has been changed in the file itself:

xml:


    <requires>

        <import addon="xbmc.python" version="3.0.0"/>

    </requires>

Thread moved to addon development, as the add-on support section is for published/established add-ons.

<extension point="kodi.context.item"> <menu id="kodi.core.main"> <item library="contextitem.py"> <label>TEST</label> <visible>true</visible> </item> </menu> </extension>

I believe Label need to be a valid variable or a string.  TEST is not a valid variable nor string.  Try "TEST" or a valid number from strngs.po.

<label>"TEST"</label>
