Skins do not pull from the .nfo it relies on other programs. What version are you using of metadata utilities?
I had the exact same issue when I updated to the latest version from the GitHub so I downgraded back to the previous version and everything works again.
My only problem is I just installed it on a new computer and updated everything by mistake and need a previous version again. So if you let me know what version you have I can test.
You can try and delete your simplecache and let the database rebuild.

I upgraded to that same version and lost my ratings as well. I don't know what has changed nor can I find the previous version. Maybe if someone on this forum is using the previous version with this skin they can post it for download.
I also use TinyMediaManager

I have been testing this great skin today and I find it to be the most complete skin out there, most other skins face the problem of being too customizable which make them unusable and not very specific on how to accomplish something, so great job with the skin.
The only "problem" that I have with this skin is how it handles viewing seasons/episodes.
1- If a show is in my library and click on "more episodes", when I scroll to different season and choose one, then go to another, and so on, if I decide I don't want to watch anything and click on "back" button, it will have to iterate through all the seasons that I have already visited, it doesn't exit the show on one click.
2- If a show is not in my library, I can't use the "bingie episode view". yes I know I can change some setting to flatten the seasons etc, but the final result is not like Netflix, it's just one long list of all episodes, and there is no seasons to check.
3- There is no alternative view to set for season/episode, all of the other views are not created for season/episode, so they don't fit in the whole skin.
My suggestion to improve this skin is to focus on optimizing the view for season/episode because this is the area where it doesn't look like netflix. If the netflix view for season/episode is not possible due to some limitations, then a compromise to having both season/episode in the same window, is to seperate them into two different windows, the first one only shows season but the view must look similar to the Netflix look and then when the user chooses a season, another window for episodes will open with a view specifically designed for episodes to look similar to how Netflix does it.

I don't think flattening the season is a clean solution, it make it possible to have "bingie episode view" for addons, but it creates another problem where at the left side, in your attached picture it lists "season 1, season 2..." but if you flatten the season and access an addon, it will only show one season called "season 1" in left menu and it's not even selectable.
This bug ruin the seamless experience of navigating tv shows, whether they are part of an addon or a library it shouldn't matter.
When I say addons, I mean specifically TMDB Helper.
Yes I read about the upcoming update, I', excited to try it, I hope the developer focus on improving the current features and focusing on such details like the bug I specified instead of adding new features. I also hope they add more views that can be optimized to view seasons or episodes.

We will not add more episode views. There will be another new view for home screen.
I will not edit the episode view to work with addon's because I do not use them. Maybe matke will if he has time.

That's understandable. Maybe I'm trying to accomplish something with this skin that wasn't designed for. If I'm understanding you correctly, Titan Bingie Mod is not designed to work with addons content and only work with library content? If that's the case, do you think there is a chance of this changing in the next update?
Another question, can you estimate when the update will get released, is it 1 month, 3 months or 1 year away?

It could change in the future because I think matke said he working on some stuff with the TMDB.
For the update maybe 2 months it all depends on how much free time people get to work on the skin.
