Custom Alarm Window not working anymore!

[TheRooster2000]

(...) I assume you have triggered at least one alarm since you rebooted the Radio the last time ? (...)

So here's a new logfile with one alarm triggered since reboot.
The alarm was triggered Jan 31 06:20:02 AM as you can see in the logfile.
Maybe you can identify some critical errors?

No errors in the log from what I can see.

Could you try to goto "Settings/Advanced/Logging" and enable debug logging on "applet.AlarmSnooze", then make an alarm trigger and post the log afterwards.

As another try I enabled logging on "applet.AlarmSnooze" and additionally "applet.CustomClock" and triggered an alarm as you suggested.

Suddenly it works again! What happened!?
Now I disabled the logging again and Custom Alarm Window is still working as I want it to.

I cannot explain why the enabled logging fixed the issue but I'm happy with my Radio again

Many thanks for your help Erland!

Have a nice evening,

Hi!

Unfortunately I have to reactivate this one again...
After the update to the latest Nightly Build of SbS 7.5.4-31882 the same issue is back.
This time it did not help to activate logging what did the trick last time.
Even after I activated logging, the alarm clock display does not show the custom alarm window that I configured in the patch. Now the default alarm screen is shown again when an alarm is triggered.

I'm afraid I have to give up trying to solve this.
I think I have to go to sleep with my glasses on so that I can read the time on my SB Radio's display when I wake up in the morning

I know that this might mean a lot of work, but since there wasn't any useful in the logs you posted earlier and it works perfectly for me, maybe it's time to do a factory reset ?

Just be aware that doing a factory reset means that you need to completely reconfigure your Radio and enter all the settings again, so it might be a bit of work if you have changed a lot of settings.

If there is anyone else reading this which have similar problems, please let me know.

Wooo... I was afraid that someone would suggest that!
Maybe I'll do this on the weekend. Maybe...

Hi Erland,

everything is fine again!
On the weekend I did a factory reset on my SB Radio and configured everything new from scratch. I re-installed custom alarm window and all the other useful patches and that's it.
Finally I have the Classic Clock as alarm screen saver again and don't have to go to sleep with my glasses on any longer

Thanks for your help,
Christian

I have the same issue, could not get the alarm window to patch in. I did a factory reset and still have work to do. I got the patch app installed and selected the alarm window patch which it says installed. I can not see a menu item to allow me to select the alarm window configuration.

Is this meant to be under the screen menu the same as all the others?

On a side issue I have selected a screen saver view for now playing but it keeps changing so I must be missing a setting as I get the one I selected and then the default from the now playing menu. Do I set this to none?

The patch only makes it possible to create third party alarm windows. You need to also install an implementation, currently the best (and possibly the only working) is the Custom Clock applet. After installing "Custom Clock" you should be able to goto "Settings/Screen/Screensavers/Custom Clock Settings/When alarm" and select the Custom Clock style you like to use as alarm window. The "When alarm" menu option is only available if you have installed the patch.

There is an old "Alarm Savers *Beta*" applet in my testing repository but I'm not sure that works with the latest firmware version so I'd advice you to use Custom Clock instead.

All good I spent a bit of time this afternoon and got the two styles imported Playwithcoversandclockradio. These are on pages 13 and 7 of the thread in the 3rd party forum, would be good if you could add them to the complete list.

I now have a new alarm window which is just a big clock view .
