Ok so to start with appologies because this is probably a newby question (new to addon development, my first addon) but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong here:
I have added a settings.xml file in the userdata\addon_data subdir of my addon, the 'Configure' button of my addon becomes available, however the settings are not available and on the left side I only see "No categories available". What am I missing here?
Content of my settings.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<settings version="1">
<section id="service.test">
<category id="generic" label="Generic" help="Help!">
<setting id="file" type="video" label="File" help="Select the video file">
</setting>
</category>
</section>
</settings>
No categories in addon settings available

I think the missing part is <group></group> as a wrapper for setting. Its mandatory also if you doesn‘t have more than 1 group.

Thanks, good suggestion but no luck yet unfortunately.
It recognizes the section but then it stops -
Are you sure that you edit in the right directory ?
Your add-on with the settings.xml file for defining the GUI items should be located here: /storage/.kodi/addons/script.test
Add-on structure - Official Kodi Wiki
In the directory /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.test , there should only be the corresponding settings.xml file for saving values and will be generated automatically.
