Server icon in system tray - change name/color

Just 2 short suggestion, don't know if there's any special place for for it

.

 

However, the icon when the server is running is green, as you all know, and when mouseover it displays the name "Emby".

 

My problem is that I have several servers on the same computer, and I can't distinguish them apart.

How about if it should show: emby <servername>

 

And the color, (or the white arrow), how about making them change colors if somebody are active streaming, so it wouldn't be necessary to open the browser n and scroll down to see if anybody are streaming...

 

Maybe not the most acute thing to fix, but shouldn't be too hard(I guess) to implement?

I like your idea of changing color.

Red for TV recordings and yellow for active streams and green for nothing.

Yeah, then it's no need to login just to see if somebody are online

I always did love the WMC tray icon that told me when it was recording something. Hovering over it told me what shows were being recorded. This would be a great feature.

We could always ask @@luke if this might be added on a "request list"

I think it's a nice idea but windows specific development can be costly, because it's time spent that only one portion of our audience will benefit from.

 

I would like to convert our tray icon to be built with electron and then this will be more realistic, because it will be usable on every platform.
