If I interpret this correctly it means that a third party plugin can
only provide a "line1" and "line2" in the JSON interface. Would it be
possible to enhance this so a third party plugin can provide a hash
that's forwarded over JSON ? 

For example to create a structure similar to how the "stocks" items
look like ?

I'm asking because I currently have a MythTV and a Mail plugin which
I'd like to expose to Custom Clock to make it possible to show MythTV
recordings and new mails. Mail would probably work with "line1" and
"line2" but for MythTV recordings I like display a channel or preview
image. Even for mail, the customization options gets a lot better if I
can pass "subject", "from", "to", "time", "message" as separate
attributes and configure a formatting string in the Custom Clock
configuration that describes how I like to show them.

If you feel like this is a lot of work and requires major changes to
SDT, I can implement these integrations through a similar provider
interface in Custom Clock Helper. Just let me know, if you want to add
it to SDT or not.
