i am trying to add radio buttons to the SkinSettings.xml to enable/disable the visibility of the following in DialogVideoInfo.xml, but i am unsure what or how to reference to it.

 
xml:
           <!-- Play Button File Path -->

            <control type="fadelabel">

                <left>10</left>

                <bottom>7</bottom>

                <width>1900</width>

                <height>36</height>

                <font>Font27</font>

                <align>center</align>

                <label>$INFO[ListItem.FileNameAndPath]</label>

                <textcolor>$VAR[TextColor2]</textcolor>

                <pauseatend>3000</pauseatend>

                <visible>Control.HasFocus(8)</visible>

            </control>



            

            <!-- Trailer Button File Path -->

            <control type="fadelabel">

                <left>8</left>

                <bottom>7</bottom>

                <width>1902</width>

                <height>36</height>

                <font>Font27</font>

                <align>center</align>

                <label>$INFO[ListItem.Trailer]</label>

                <textcolor>$VAR[TextColor2]</textcolor>

                <pauseatend>3000</pauseatend>

                <visible>Control.HasFocus(11)</visible>

            </control>

ok, i think i get it. so i added this to DialogVideoInfo.xml

xml:
                        <!-- Play Button File Path -->

            <control type="fadelabel">

                <left>10</left>

                <bottom>7</bottom>

                <width>1900</width>

                <height>36</height>

                <font>Font27</font>

                <align>center</align>

                <label>$INFO[ListItem.FileNameAndPath]</label>

                <textcolor>$VAR[TextColor2]</textcolor>

                <pauseatend>3000</pauseatend>

                <visible>Control.HasFocus(8) | !Skin.HasSetting(VideoPath)</visible>

            </control>


and this to the SkinSettings.xml

xml:
<!-- Movie/TV Show Path Setting -->

<control type="radiobutton" id="304">

    <width>1220</width>

    <height>66</height>

    <textwidth>1120</textwidth>

    <font>Font33</font>

    <label>$LOCALIZE[31133]</label>

    <include>DefaultSettingButton</include>

    <selected>!Skin.HasSetting(VideoPath)</selected>

    <onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(VideoPath)</onclick>

</control>

but it does not work correctly, if the box is unticked in settings the filename and path show up as normal, if i tick the box there is additional text on top of the filename andPath but i can't make it out

UPDATE: fixed the issue by changing:
xml:
<visible>Control.HasFocus(8) | !Skin.HasSetting(VideoPath)</visible>

to

xml:
<visible>Control.HasFocus(8) + !Skin.HasSetting(VideoPath)</visible>

second question:

how do i show a alternative label if the setting is not ticked?

IE:
DialogVideoInfo.xml

xml:
<!-- Refresh Button File Path -->

<control type="fadelabel">

    <left>8</left>

    <bottom>7</bottom>

    <width>1902</width>

    <height>36</height>

    <font>Font27</font>

    <align>center</align>

    <label>$INFO[ListItem.FileNameAndPath]</label>

    <textcolor>$VAR[TextColor2]</textcolor>

    <pauseatend>3000</pauseatend>

    <visible>Control.HasFocus(6) + !Skin.HasSetting(VideoRefreshPath)</visible>

</control>

SkinSettings.xml

xml:
<!-- Show Refresh Path -->

<control type="radiobutton" id="306">

    <width>1220</width>

    <height>66</height>

    <textwidth>1120</textwidth>

    <font>Font33</font>

    <label>$LOCALIZE[31135]</label>

    <include>DefaultSettingButton</include>

    <selected>!Skin.HasSetting(VideoRefreshPath)</selected>

    <onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(VideoRefreshPath)</onclick>

</control>

when ticked will display Path and File Name, when unticked i would like to display a Label "Refresh MetaSata for $INFO[ListItem.Title]"

you can use a variable for that: https://kodi.wiki/view/Skinning_Manual#Variables
Do not PM or e-mail Team-Kodi members directly asking for support.
Always read the Forum rules, Kodi online-manual, FAQ, Help and Search the forum before posting.
