Display number of media streams on status bar icon

Post by abcd »

When getting a few different media files using FlashGot Media, it would help if the count of unique media streams (ie. not different quality formats, but different unique streams) was displayed next to, or as an overlay, on the FlashGot flashing Media status icon. With a single stream the flashing media icon indicates FG has got the stream, but for the second, third, fourth etc stream there is no visual clue the stream has been grabbed, other than moving the mouse cursor over the flashing status bar icon and counting the entries in the tooltip, which is tedious.

Some media servers are a bit slow and sometimes FlashGot has grabbed the stream a few seconds before the stream starts playing. When grabbing several media streams, you could load the media, and as soon as the status bar icon count increased you could start loading the next media stream. Once you have all the streams you can just left click the status icon to add them all to the download manager.

A small time-saver, but with more media files the time-savings would add up.

Check out the Ghostery add-on for an idea of how the number overlay could look like on he FG Media status bar icon.
