Is there a single page to see see if there are active recordings as well as active playing streams. I like having the Status page shows the “Now Playing” but it would be great if it also showed currently recording shows. Is there a page on the server that shows both of these on the same page?

The reason I ask is that right now before I apply any updates to my server I want to verify that there is no activity going on with my server. I have to check both the server status page to see if anyone is watching anything and then also the Recording Schedule to see if there are any active recordings.

One method: Go to the recordings page and see if there is anything recording, then look at the Status icon by the settings at the top of the page. Image below - top shows something being played, bottom nothing is playing.
