Feature request: display stream technical details

I would very much appreciate an option to display in a corner some basic information about the stream we are watching.

e.g. a page in the options called:
Display Advanced Info

containing something like this:

Enabled: yes/no
Display position: top right/top left/bottom right/bottom left
Font size: very-small/small/medium/big/very-big
Info data (all with checklist to be included/excluded):
[*] video resolution
[*] video codec/bitstream
[*] audio channels
[*] audio sample rate/bitstream
[*] MB transferred

All those data can be easily displayed e.g. in VLC and I found it extremely helpful, especially the MB transferred for limited Internet connectivity. Moreover there are multiple IPTV providers streaming the very same channel at different quality so this information would really help!

Thanks :-)

Smart TV and PC are absolutely different platforms. If you can simply see something on PC, it doesn't mean you can get on Smart TV the same.

So what? It is native application developed by vendor. SS IPTV is third-party, html-based application. Obviously the apps have different permissions and opportunities.
