Provide some bittorrent status to users? #26

Open petterreinholdtsen opened 5 years ago

Is it possible to provide some bittorrent status information to the user during playback? For example the number of peers/seeds, download speed, etc. It would be useful for slow starting torrents, to know if they hang or are just slow.

Agree. Also a progress bar of some sort....

johang commented 4 years ago

VLC doesn't provide a good interface for modules/plugins to do this.

tiotrom commented 4 years ago

I see...

Is 5d8045892c0aedafb7eebc4e6e1b18a1b3ddbefd somehow related to this?

johang commented 3 years ago

Yes, it is. But I didn't find a good way of providing this info to users. Any suggestions? I guess I could periodically print to the the Messages window.

I added a progress dialog downloading metadata in 0c62656.

I tried asking on the #videolan IRC channel, but got no response. Perhaps it is still a hard problem...

I look forward to having the feature in Debian, after the next stable release. :)
