Request - Show stream errors

[sackboydad]

Describe the feature
Add feedback to the vmix:Status to show stream quality.

Is this version dependent (vMix v24.)?
I don't think so.

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?
If applicable, add screenshots, protocol description PDFs, etc., to help the developers along.

Usecases
In vMIX, when streaming, if there is a problem with the stream, the vMIX UI will change colors to indicate there is a problem. Red = "Everything's great". Yellow = "There's a problem". Orange = "There a REALLY big problem". can you get that information from vmix to allow for a feedback to change color based on stream quality in the vmix:Status feedback? While it's on the vmix UI, it'd be great to have that on a companion button.

Unfortunately the vMix API does not provide this data, it simply provides a 'true' value when one of the streams is streaming or attempting to to stream.

This means Companion has no way to differentiate between between the various stages of connection/streaming/reconnection as vMix simply doesn't provide any sort of distinction.

I'll leave this feature request open in the hopes that vMix one day provide us this data as it's something myself and others have requested on the vMix feature request forum, along with access to data such as stream buffer, dropped frames, and other valuable data such as that, but it has been years with no official response.

Bummer! But thank you so much for looking into my request.
