Add support for whether or not captions are working #8

Open grimmy opened 3 years ago

My chat just notified my that my captions weren't working. Turns out it was an obs mis-configuration. I already have dashboard on my stream with dropped packets and frames, and thought it would be amazing if I could add a graph showing whether or not my captions are working.

I'm not sure if obs has any API to determine this, but would be awesome to have it exported.

I think with the current libobs API there's no way to see what's in the caption buffer or when the last one was sent. That said, I do think this is worth having so it's probably worth getting upstream to add something to keep track of the last time a caption was added (or something)
