@robertlaing , thank you for the steps.  Yes, this will happen, because the default label (Update library, this string comes from Kodi) is a variable in the skin, which changes from Update library to Stop scanning when the library is being scanned.  When you changed the label, it was no longer this variable.

I understand your need for grammatical correctness.  So, what I have done is to create new "Update Library" and "Stop Scanning" strings in the skin, to use for the submenu item.  What you will need to do is go back to the menu configuration dialog, and change the label to "$VAR[ScanningLabel]", without the ".  This will make the label be the variable again.  Don't worry, the label will not be shown as $VAR[ScanningLabel] in your system.

The changes are already on GitHub.  Please test and let me know.  Thanks.

Bart

Hi Bart,

Absolutely perfect!! It works a treat!!
Thank you so much, I am very appreciative for this!!

I have also just added the submenu category for watched episodes for tv shows.
This also works great.

As ever, thank you very much for all your hard work.

Kind regards,
Robert.

Hi Bart,

Oops, just noticed an issue!

The scanning of the movies and tv shows invokes the UpdateLibrary(video) as you will be aware.

And the scanning of the music uses UpdateLibrary(music).

If I were scanning the movies, then it would say stop scanning under the movie submenu.

And under the music submenu, the update library would be showing even if the video libraries were being scanned.

They are both independent scans and you can have them both running at the same time if you so wish.

However since I put the $VAR[ScanningLabel] change in, if I invoke the video scan, the music submenu says stop scanning, instead of update library.
And if I invoke the music scan on its own, the movie/tv shows show stop scannning instead of update library.

I think you may need a variable for the video update/stop scanning and another variable for the music update/stop scanning.

If I have the music scanning, under the movies it says stop scanning.
However if I hit the stop scanning in movies, it will actually start updating the video library!
The same is true if I update the movies and it will say stop scanning in the music, but by hitting the stop scanning in music it will invoke the updating of the music library.

Thanks once again.

Kind regards,
Robert.
