I can't post a picture here so I'm just gonna describe it as best as I can.
In the Original Bingie, the home screen works fine. But when you click on the show/ movie, it just shows you the fanart and plot (This is the page where the "More Info" button takes you).
In the Bingie Mod, the home screen is just blank, I've already scanned the shows to the library, and I see that even though I updated and downloaded the latest mod, the settings page only has 2 detail options, unlike the numerous ones that's supposed to be there.
I already fiddled with this for 2 days, now I'm officially stuck. SEND HELP PLEASE!
tl;dr: Original Bingie does has home screen but does not show the Information in Shows.
Modded Bingie only shows a black home screen.
So if I've understood, you're not getting the video info dialogue screen below right?
Is the widget pointing to your library or an add-on?
For the other issue, try uninstalling bingie mod completely. Make sure it's no longer present in your addons folder and or the temp folder in addons. Redownload from github to ensure you have the latest version.
Yeah, just the title, plot, and fan art.

Also, I reverted the widgets back to the default settings, still the video information dialogue is not showing.

do you have another device you can load your build to? Is it possible its a Mac issue?
Yeah I think it's a Mac issue. I tried Bingie before in a windows laptop, it works just fine.
I tried it on my iPhone before, but that just had a black home screen, so I don't have other devices anymore.

That won't help either of your issues. For black homescreen issue did you do what I said?
Yeah, I already did. Still a black screen. Also, I've noticed in the original Bingie Settings, that if you go to Skin Settings - HomeScreen Layout - Homescreen Layout (The very first option) Then it lets you choose which Homescreen layout you could pick.
The first time I tried Bingie on this laptop, it has a black home screen to, but when I picked Bingie on the Homescreen layout, it showed the home screen but no video info dialogue.
The mod has Skin Settings- HomeScreen Layout- but within the home screen layout, there is no option that lets you pick. The very first option that I saw was the widget options.

I had some squirrely behavior with my setup before and by completely deleting the skin was the only thing that fixed it for me. Like HugoL stated delete both Bingie and the Bingie Mod in the addons folder then try reloading everything from the Bingie repo then reload from zip the Bingie Mod. Are you familiar where to look for the addons folder with a file explorer? you may have to enable hidden folders on your Mac.
I use this Mac for school works, but I also want to use it to watch tv and movies, since it's the only device with big screen that I have.
Also, I already tried deleting the skin, and the other add-ons that came with it, but still the same results.

I had this issue on my Mac , I had used the “ create skin back up “ in the Titan skin settings and was stuck on a black home screen , solved it by enabling the “ restore back up “ option , the rebooting Kodi.

Issue 1 - Again, can you tell me what your widgets point to?
Issue 2. So Original bingie was corrected by selecting "Bingie" for homescreen layout? This is a strange trick because it's the default option anyway. And because bingie mod doesn't have this option you can't use the same trick. No idea what's going on here I'm afraid. You did say you also say you were missing the new options under the "details" section too. Can you confirm you have bingie mod 1.06 installed?
I think my widgets point to the library, because I have my own content (Not sure if that's that answer you were looking for)
I looked at the add on settings and it's confirmed that I have version 1.06.
