Hi @DarrenHill / @Karellen, I'm not sure where this thread should be moved to, but basically, I want more people to try this and give feedback. Especially for the system defined versions, I'm trying my best to collect these versions, but there may be some missing or the name need to be changed. Want to get more opinions for this.
@ashlar, thank you very much for the feedback, it's very useful. The first thing you mentioned is definitely a bug, I'll look into this. Currently in the progress to change the coding style for review, don't have a working build yet.
For the ways to change the version name, there are in fact a few of them.
For the "Version" dialog got cancelled but play continued, this is by design. The consideration for this is, user already chose paly a movie, that's their intention. So no matter what they've chosen in the "Version" dialog, Kodi should play one, just like there is no this "Version" dialog. If user choose a different version than default, Kodi play that version, otherwise, just play the default version.

- The way in the first posts of this threat still apply to this new design. You can use the context menu "Manage movie version" for the movie item in library to change the version. Just choose the SAME movie as destination, and you will get the chance to give a new name for the version. But this only works for the movie with one version. Otherwise, you need to remove the movie from library and scan it again to apply above method.
- Another way is in the new "Versions" dialog you've found in movie info dialog. Just set another version as default version and then select the version you want to rename and remove that version with the "Remove Version" button. Then you can use the "Add Version" button to choose the file again to add a new version, and you'll be able to choose a new version.
