So, I've been reading through the Wiki and I've downloaded the Windows version of Kodi in an attempt to learn to create my own Add-ons. I guess I assumed if I identify an Add-on within the Kodi GUI, then locate the corresponding folder for that Add-on within Windows, I could open the addon.xml file, find the Summary and Description and by tweaking a small portion of the text in the Summary and Description, when I close out Kodi and reload it, I would see the changes I've made reflected in the text within Kodi for that add-on...but I'm not seeing any changes.
For example, I opened the Dim addon.xml and added the word "Computer" the string "dim your screen" so it says "dim your computer screen". Just as a test to see if I'm understanding the different components and how they relate to each other. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to compile some sort of code that I'm not seeing? I'm a little (lot?) confused.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
