Performance interface - manual start &

[KlienVo]

The performance interface in the dashboard lacks a couple of feature that would be helpful:

• [ ] manual start to performance, right now only schedules start seems possible (essential)
• [ ] setting pause/time between the indiv. track in the performance (essential)
• [ ] ability to change the sequence of tracks in a performance (nice to have)
• [ ] display running time since start
• [ ] display no. of clients the performance was started with

It is not possible to start a performance, only individual tracks can be started. The start and end times of a performance are saved to be displayed to users, but have no effect otherwise. Currently, SADISS requires a performer present at all times, and all tracks are to be started individually.

Implementing programmable performances is a good idea, as it would enable us to run simultaneous un-supervised installations. In my opinion this should be placed high up on the feature list for the next release.

I'll make issues for displaying the running time since start and the number of clients the performance was started with, which I think are helpful features right now.
