Hello.

I'm trying to customize the *jivelite -NowPlaying- applet/screen*.

I have 2 questions I can't seem to solve on my own and I'm hoping you
can help me with:

#1
If I understand the code of the NowPlaying applet correctly, it usually
only gets information like the track name, (album)artist, album title,
elapsed/remaining time and X of Y (of the current player playlist). 

How can I make jivelite request the *comment tag value of the current
track*? It's in the LMS database but I don't know how to query that in
lua.

#2
I've also tried to make the NowPlaying applet load custom title formats
used/broadcast by Erland's CustomClockHelper plugin.

It works but it always shows the value of the *previous* track, not the
current one. I guess it takes a while before the result comes in from
Erland's CustomClockHelper plugin and by then the NowPlaying applet has
already initialized the screen - with the *old* value.
Is there a way to make the applet refresh the value as soon as the
result from the updatecustomtitleformats function is available? 
- Or maybe I missed a place/function in the NowPlaying applet where I
need to call the updatefunction or its result (again)?

Please, if you feel you know where my mistake is please let me know.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Best rgards,

A.
