A way to see if the file is buffering #6

Hi. Thanks for an amazing application!

I have an issue where I don't know if anything is happening or not. Not sure if this is a feature request or a bug report.

I tried the Laundromat torrent from the list you link to and chose to stream without downloading. After the initial 1 MB or so had buffered, the box with the progress bar that told me that the 1 MB had buffered just disappeared, and I was left with just a black box (mpv), and nothing seemingly happening.

Either this box with the progress bar should stay, or there should be some other way to see if there's anything happening.

Thank you!

You should be able to get the buffering status by clicking on the title bar; it will bring up the pull progress, amount of peers connected etc:

Maybe it could be a good idea to use a circular buffer to better indicate that? You should also be able to just start playback as soon as MPV opens though ^^
