[FEATURE REQUEST] Always-Visible Indicator of Currently Playing Streams in GUI

[MosEisley34]

Hello 👋 and thank you for the great work on open-tv! I'm a frequent user and appreciate the multiplatform support and clean interface.

I'd like to propose a feature that would greatly improve the user experience for those of us who often watch multiple live streams simultaneously—especially during live sports events.

Feature Request

Add a visible, always-accessible section in the GUI that lists all active/playing streams. Ideally, this would:

Show stream titles or identifiers (e.g., channel name, playlist name, stream URL label, or EPG name if available).

Be persistently visible in the main interface (e.g., as a sidebar, bottom bar, or overlay).

Provide a quick way to identify which streams are currently active.

Optionally allow fundamental interactions like switching focus to a stream or stopping a specific one.

Use Case

I frequently watch multiple live sports events simultaneously from different IPTV providers, each running in its own stream (e.g., two football matches and a Formula 1 race). Since open-tv allows multiple streams to be played simultaneously, it would be incredibly helpful to have a way to track which ones are currently active without having to manually inspect each window or stream tab.

This would enhance usability and reduce the cognitive load when managing multiple concurrent streams.

Potential Considerations

This feature could be implemented as a collapsible panel or overlay in the main window.

It could optionally include CPU/network usage per stream for power users.

Ideally, this UI element would not obscure video playback or could be toggled via a keyboard shortcut.

Happy to provide design mockups or test out early iterations. Thanks again for this awesome project!
