Hello! I have wanted to make an Add-On for KODI. So I started out with an example. After I have got an Idea about what I'm going to make I started to add some menus. Without success. Well this is my addon.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="2.23.0"/>
   </requires>
   <extension point="xbmc.python.script" library="addon.py">
       <provides>executable</provides>
   </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>

I think you are just missing another "</menu>" tag at the end, you open 3 with the 1st one being the "<menu id="kodi.core.main">" but you only close the two submenus.

Im not sure if thats the only thing preventing it from working (for example the labels, im not sure if those are going to work or not) but with regard to adding a submenu that might get it working.
