What's that? Is it just an add-on?

Unfortunately, I'm still having issues using BINGIE and BINGIE MOD skins on my Raspberry Pi 4 with Kodi 18.7, and I'm still seeing a black screen when I try to use BINGIE or BINGIE MOD.
I tried to uninstall both skins and reinstall them, but I'm still getting the black screen.
Could the problem be related to error messages I'm seeing for the Skin Helper Service and the Skin Helper Service Backgrounds service when Kodi is first turned on?
Also, when I checked the dependencies lists for both skins, I'm saw wrong version numbers for a few of the installed dependencies. For instance, as you can see in the screenshots, Skin Helper Service and the Skin Helper Service Backgrounds are showing as if version 1.0.0 is installed, and not their actual version number. Could this mistaken identification of the installed dependencies versions lead to the black screen?

You haven’t mentioned any of the steps I’ve asked you to take.

Hi @HugoL , many thanks for replying 🙏
Other than Bingie and Bingie MOD, I also installed Estuary Leia Mod, Amber and AppTV skins, but I deleted Amber and AppTV.

Ok. In either bingie skin, reset menus to skin default by going

skin settings > configure shortcuts > restore menu items.

Also do the below option > Restore Default Widgets in Hubs.

And for good measure, go to

Back up and restore > Reset the skin to default settings.

Failing this, you can try a fresh Kodi and bingie install. Bingie 1.03 for the dependencies and then the bingie mod 1.09 skin.

Ratings Meta (and API keys in general)
For ratings from IMDB, TMDB, TVDB, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic
1) Make sure they are enabled in 'Media Library Views' tab under 'Media Flags, Ratings ......' (they should be ON by default)
2) To enable them in BINGIE views, go to homelayout tab and enable them under 'Footer' header (tick OFF the setting 'Disable ratings flags in bingie views...')
To enable them in libraries, in 'Media Library Views' tab, tick off the setting 'Do not show footer in views'
3) [THIS IS DONE PRIOR TO LIBRARY SCAN] Use scrapers and set in there settings to get ratings from IMDB & TMDB for movies (e.g Universal scraper). and TVDB & IMDB for tv shows (e.g TVDB Scraper).
4) Go to Skin Settings -> Supported addons -> select 'Metadata and Artwork Module', switch to 'API Keys' tab, and fill with your API keys.
For Rottern Tomatoes & MetaCritic you'll need to have an OMDB key - you can get it from here https://www.omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx
for TMDB Key - www.themoviedb.org
Fanart key is not important for ratings but is for fanart images in the skin, get from https://fanart.tv/

@mjeshurun 

Please read the steps again.  Note that the last option is a fresh Kodi install, not just a fresh bingie install.

Sorry, @HugoL. I tried the steps you mentioned, but they didn’t help.
Is there a terminal command that removes all Kodi relevant files?
Maybe i didn’t uninstall it correctly.

After uninstalling kodi on my android devices I always power off the system for a few minutes before reinstalling because there always seems to be some leftovers. Just curious why are you using a ras pie? They are so flaky, they might be fun to build and tinker with but not the most reliable streamer. There are a lot of affordable options right now. I Just purchased a Dynalink Android TV box for $29.50 from walmart runs official Android TV and Android 10. I have kodi 18.9 with the Bingie mod installed on it along with the official Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and many more, I highly recommend it I barely notice a difference between it and my Nvidia Shield.

Hi @cscott1
I bought a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) to use as an OpenHAB smart home system. And since I already have the Raspberry Pi, I figured I’d use it also for Kodi.

Is there a particular terminal command to completely uninstall kodi with all its dependencies and addons?

Honestly I'm an Android and Windows guy not really familiar with ras pi operating systems. Have you tried using OSMC instead of Kodi from the little bit I have read that seems to be the go to system for ras pies and all kodi addons are compatible with it.

Thanks for the tip about OSMC, but I’m not sure it’ll be a good solution for me.
First and for most, I need to use Raspberry Pi OS to power my smart home system.
I understand OSMC is an alternative full OS that supports running apps, but, reconfiguring my smart home systems OSMC might be problematic.
Therefore, I prefer to stay with the official Raspberry Pi OS.
