Okay. Thanks. It is working.
I guess I don't understand updates. I had it set to never check. However, I went into the add-on and selected update and it only showed me up to version 3.0.7. When I switched to Check for update, don't install, I saw the update. I guess clicking on "Update" under the Add-on doesn't automatically go out and check?

The add-on is part of the Kodi Repository. The Kodi Repository checks into our servers once a day to look for add-on updates. As you had disabled automatic updates, the add-on thinks it is up to date.
We try to create a seamless experience, but when you disable updates, you obviously fall out of date and things start breaking. You should allow automatic updates.

I have made modifications to an add-on, so I don't keep auto updates on. I tried unsuccessfully to change the version/date, making a copy and a few other things to keep it from getting auto updates.
If I understand you correctly, if I go into an add-on and hit update, it will only show what is in my local repository. I think this actually varies by repository. I see updates appear for 1 add-on even though I had updates off (PS Vue Add-on). Come to think of it, if the repository points to an internet location, it would show updates regardless of the settings I believe. That probably added to my confusion.

I've tried changing the version and the add-on stopped working. I suspect that breaks some dependency.

Your problem now is a different problem compared to your initial question. I would suggest to open another thread. I'll mark this thread as solved.
