Full Version: Inconsistent addon update UI
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have a UI consistency issue related to addon updates.  identified in 0901 nightly and also exists in 0908 nightly.

I have visualization addon Goom 3.2.0 installed.  It was forced to disable due to update of the api version.  There is an available update Goom 3.3.1.  If I navigate in addon browser to "my addons" and select Goom, addoninfo window opens and "update" button is enabled.  Clicking "update" shows the select dialog with the new version 3.3.1 listed as expected.   Selecting the update esjults in notification dialog stating addon was updated.

The problem is if I navigate in addon browser to "available updates".  The Goom 3.3.1 update is listed.  If I select it, addoninfo window opens but now the only enabled button is "install".  "Update" is disabled.  Selecting "install" results in the addon updating.  I think it should the same way as if reached via "my addons":  enabling the "update" button. 

This behavior also was observed with all other addons in the "available updates" list.

I opened this issue for PVR https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/18360 but it probably applies to all binary addons.

I think that is different, but I also see the game emulator addons that I updated yesterday still show as "update available" and you can update them and the UI provides notification dialog that the addon has updated.    But after a Kodi restart that has resolved (addons not showing as update available).
