Doesn't work at all when server changes your nick #24

According to the README:

The status gets set to "Idle", even though I'm still connected to the server This often happens on servers which change your MTA:SA nickname (for instance, when you login to a server with a custom account system). Make sure the nickname you've set in the MTA:SA settings is equal to the one you have on the server you're connected to.

Many servers change your nick, notably servers which an have accounts/characters system (an important percentage of active MTA servers).

Is there any way you can fix the app so it works with nick changes?

FRP doesnt change my nick at all, for example, but it still gets stuck at Idle

Unfortunately, this isn't possible with the current implementation, as it identifies the player by name. To get around this, you would also have to build a server-side implementation, which I tried to avoid. If you have an idea or a better approach, let me know.
