Hugo that's why I asked you if the information was cached and curious if it was just affecting new requests.Users who already had the information cached to their system wouldn't see a problem.

Definitely not.  One of the first things I tried when you were having issues was to delete my simple cache to let it rebuild and it did, pretty much near instantly, including  TV Show top250.

I just tried again. This time, it was unexpectedly doing nothing for several minutes.  I noticed some of the widgets I had configured weren't loading and I was just getting the busy spinner on them.  I removed them and then all the metadata was pulled.   

Maybe you can try resetting to default widgets again and then delete your simple cache.

I tried as you suggested still no top 250 for tv shows. I also figured out how to transfer the build to my laptop and it's exactly the same. Is it possible I had some setting from way back OG Bingie or one of the early mods to have it disabled or something and changes to the settings over the different versions and I'm not able to change it now because it's no longer a setting?

No, that shouldn’t be the case. Didn’t you do a fresh bingie with no user settings anyway?

Did you try a fresh install on your laptop (rather then transferring your build) and then just add one top 250 tv show? If this doesn’t work (which it really should) it has to be something up with your library integration method I guess.

So presuming this works as it should, it looks like you’d need a fresh Kodi and bingie shield install. No backs ups, start from scratch.
