SBC 7.4r4395 fails to boot if a non-available jive-applet is been referenced

Created attachment 4840 [details] SBC /var/log/messages from a failed boot sequence This weekend i migrated to 7.4 and as usual built my own squeezeOS image for the SBC, 7.4r4395 at this time. This version failed to boot (logitech logo->free your music->reboot) so after having switched to my previously installed 7.3 i applied the "official r4154" which worked fine so far. Nevertheless i took the challenge to debug this one a little bit. After collecting some logs with a sd-card (see attachment) i noticed the line "Error while loading meta for RetroBrowser:/usr/share/jive/jive/AppletManager.lua:193: error loading meta `RetroBrowser' (cannot open /usr/share/jive/applets/RetroBrowser/RetroBrowserMeta.lua: No such fil" The directory /usr/share/jive/applets/RetroBrowser/ is empty, sometime in the past i had installed this plugin. I switched to a previous firmware again and removed the file /usr/share/jive/applets/SetupAppletInstaller/settings.lua (AFAIR, unfortunately i didn't log the exact path) which contained only this one line settings = {RetroBrowser="0.1",} After i'd done this the SBC was able to boot 7.4r4395... ...yes i know, a factory would have had the same result :-)
last line: s/factory/factory reset/
Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code. Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the original product.
== Automatic comment from SVN commit #6922 to Repository: jive == https://svn.slimdevices.com/jive?view=revision&revision=6922 Fixed Bug# 11147 I am not sure the error was preventing the system booting in this case, but I have improved the code to capture when an applet has been removed but it's directory still exits. == Modified 1 files total == 7.4/private-branches/fab4/squeezeplay/src/squeezeplay/share/jive/AppletManager.lua
