[Feature Request] - Media Info

[plexcabb]

It's a good piece of information to know about the media being played on  along with the transcoding info if someone wants to. Please provide this feature in the form of a button press on various devices, interfaces supported by Plex.

 

E.g.  On the Vizio remote there is "Info" button and while using Netflix app, the media information gets displayed. 

Plex for Android has an option to "Display Information Overlay" 

 

I think every media playing app, streaming devices should have this option implicitly. 

 

Thanks

I'm much more concerned about seeing this info on the server, historically.  Currently the only way to get historical data is via a third party addon.  What it doesn't tell you, though, is CPU and memory load as the stream is transcoded.

If we're going to include this data on all of the clients, let's also include server CPU load and memory status in the display.  That way someone can see what I mean when I tell them they are pegging out the server.
