Kodi Community Forum

I am trying to implement the new feature. I put a new section

Code:
<news>text here</news>

into my skin addon.xml, and also ListItem.AddonNews textbox into dialogaddoninfo.xml but don't get anything showing. Anyone have a working example?

Code:
<news></news>

element must be contained as a child element of

Code:
<extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata"></extension>
