Activity/Active Devices Tab on AndroidTV App

[GrimReaper 4739]

I'm aware you're trying to keep Admin tasks at a minimum on Client apps (and rightly so), but this would be no admin handling, just a handy overview/notification for those rogue playback error/transcoding issues (or any other use, like unauthorized access): could we get Activity notifications as a toast for Admin users and/or Activity and Active devices tab(s) in AndroidTV app? It would surely severely reduce number of times grabbing cell phone and checking what is happening (only to determine that nothing is amiss and item is Direct playing) and, most importantly, taking eyes (and concentration) off the content one was watching at the time?

Hi.  Exactly what situation are you trying to see...?

Hm, maybe this might give you an idea:

 

Or this, one few days later:

 

And my cellphone was going "Ding... ding... ding..."; It is obvious at what point I paused MY movie, got up and stationed myself in front of PC; If I had a toast for those, might have figured earlier something is amiss - and spared myself few nerves and swears.

I think most would be incredibly annoyed by toasts of server events constantly appearing on their TV screen but we'll monitor this request for support.

Thanks.

I'm sure most would (myself included), but I wasn't thinking of it as a default behaviour, rather as an opt-in for whomsoever chooses to. And truth be told (albeit depending of the number of users), in normal circumstances number of events in Activity tab is quite limited in a day, getting nagged by toasts would be pretty good indication something/someone needs attention.

Like I said, we will monitor for support.  One concern is that the amount of work involved here (mostly because it would lead to a rabbit hole of configuration that people would end up wanting) is likely to outweigh its utility for most folks.  But, we'll see.
