OK, I’ve done some digging and discovered what’s happening here.

First to respond to the previous post:
> The LMS log is in the Squeezebox Server plugin web interface, not in Squeezelite. You can find a link debug info at the bottom of each
> plugin’s web interface.
The squeezelite log and the LMS log are the same thing. The plugin web interface gets its log file from the squeezelite log.

To answer what’s happening with the CustomClock applet, I installed raspian on an SDcard and then installed LMS (Squeezelite) by following this: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Debian_Package#installing_7.9.2.

Then I installed Jivelite by following this: http://www.hagensieker.com/jivelite/index.php

You can set-up the squeezelite service to start at boot, SSH into the Pi, manually start Jivelite and follow the warning and error messages in the SSH session.

Upon starting Jivelite I see this in the SSH session:

When I click on the Custom Clock entry I see the same behavior as in max2play: nothing happens. But in the SSH session I see:

It’s the same error as above.

Lines 347-350 in the CustomClockApplet.lua file are:
if ((oldMode and self.mode != oldMode) or self.licensed~=licensed) and self.window then
self.window:hide()
self.window = nil
end

According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34713203/what-does-lua-operator-mean/34713230: the ~= is not equals. It is the equivalent in other languages of !=

So the „!=“ entries in the CustomClockApplet.lua file are incorrect and should be „~=“.

Sure enough when I change all the „!=“ to „~=“ the CustomClock applet works correctly!

I stll have 2 problems: after changing all the „!=“ to „~=“ in the CustomClockApplet.lua file, there still are 2 other instances of the „!“ character in :
function _token_of(c)
local x,y = string.match(c,“^%s*([/!]?)%s*(%a+)%s*“)
return (x or „“) .. (y or „“)
end

and:

local html_tags = {
[„br“] = ‚\n‘,
[„/br“] = ‚\n‘,
[„li“] = “,
[„/li“] = “,
[„ul“] = „“,
[„/ul“] = „“,
[„ol“] = „“,
[„/ol“] = „“,
[„img“] = “,
[„/tr“] = “,
[„pre“] = „“,
[„/pre“] = „“,
[„b“] = „*“,
[„/b“] = „*“,
[„i“] = „/“,
[„/i“] = „/“,
[„big“] = „“,
[„/big“] = „“,
[„small“] = „“,
[„/small“] = „“,
[„strong“] = „*“,
[„/strong“] = „*“,
[„em“] = „/“,
[„/em“] = „/“,
[„u“] = „“,
[„/u“] = „“,
[„div“] = „“,
[„/div“] = „“,
[„html“] = „“,
[„/html“] = „“,
[„head“] = „“,
[„/head“] = „“,
[„body“] = „“,
[„/body“] = „“,
[„p“] = „“,
[„/p“] = „“,
[„a“] = „“,
[„/a“] = „“,
[„hr“] = „\n“ .. string.rep(„-„,44) .. „\n“,
[„font“] = „“,
[„/font“] = „“,
[„!doctype“] = „“,
[„void“] = „“,
[„/void“] = „“,
[„comment“] = „“,
[„/comment“] = „“,
[„style“] = „“,
[„/style“] = „“,
[„meta“] = „“,
[„tr“] = „“,
[„td“] = „\t“,
[„/td“] = „“,
[„table“] = „“,
[„/table“] =““,
[„th“] = „“,
[„/th“] = „“,
}

I don’t know if one of both of these should be changed as well.

The other problem is that if I install the CustomClock app in Jivelite, then fix the „!=“ so that it runs correctly, then uninstall and reinstall it again, the CustomClock app is copied back with the incorrect „!=“. The file is coming from http://superdatetimewu.sourceforge.net/CustomClock_JL_1.01.004.zip.

I need to into piCorePlayer to see how it handles the „!=“ and why this isn’t a problem there.
