Hi guys,

I successfully set up the first pieces of my Multiroom system, but I was hoping to find an idea on how to display a calendar from within JiveLite. The idea is to access my work calendar (Exchange based) and display it, when no playback is running, I guess this could be done with a screensaver option….
So, the big question is: Is there an applet somewhere out there for this? And if not, would be possible to build a custom applet? Is there a how-to? I´d be willing to learn how to do that.

Hi willy,

First of all, here’s an overview of the applets for Jivelite: https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite/tree/master/share/jive/applets

Unfortunately, I do not think there is such an applet currently available. However, you can glean a lot of info and perhaps get some good feedback from this thread where somebody created a custom clock applet: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?105083-Custom-Clock-for-Jivelite-with-800×480-Screen&p=899458&highlight=jivelite#post899458

The slimdevices forums in general are your best bet for this question 😉

Thanks Heiner, I´ll have a look into there. Did a little research myself and if I really want to build such an applet, I will have to get used to the LUA language, maybe some guy from work can cover this 🙂 I´ll try to keep news about this flowing in here.
