A few suggestions

[MrPick1es]

Hi there, I've just found this program and I wanted to say that it's really fantastic. I have a suggestion that I thought you may be interested to hear.

I would really like the option to choose quality every time a stream is loaded, and maybe the launch window could change into a "now playing" window with the option to change the quality and relaunch the media player.

Also, there is a strange visual issue that happens when my tv changes frequencies and the monitors flash (have a dual screen setup with the gui on one screen and mpc-hc in exclusive mode w/ aero disabled on my tv.) The window will go all black and must be hovered over for it to refresh and become visible. also the "opening stream" window will stay open if mpc-hc has to boot up + change monitor frequencies, aero mode, etc. That last one seems to be livestreamer itself as it also does that (keeps window open if mpc-hc isn't open before launching stream.)

Three other completely random things, I like to run mpc with aero disabled so it's a little weird having no border on the window, just a thought. Also the window seems to be "always on top" which is a little annoying and seems unnecessary. Last but not least, I would love a theme toggle that would allow me to toggle the white them to a black or dark grey theme (maybe dark grey with a black border?)

I hope this wasn't too poorly written as I came back and edited this post a few times to add in ideas and I hope it doesn't sound demanding, I'm just really happy to have found your program and think these features would make your great program amazing. I look forward to your reply and future updates to the program as well as the ability to browse followed channels!

Hi, thank you for your feedback! If you like the app, star the repo and tell your friends 😃
I always like to get feedback, so this doesn't sound demanding.

I would really like the option to choose quality every time a stream is loaded, and maybe the launch window could change into a "now playing" window with the option to change the quality and relaunch the media player.

Being able to switch the quality independently from the global settings is already on the to-do list. The thing is that it is only then necessary when the twitch servers are yet again under heavy load in your region.
I'm planning to change the "now playing" overlay as well, but I don't like the idea of multiple windows. I think I'm going to implement something like a playlist-popup at the bottom of the window which will work nicely with watching multiple streams at the same time.

Also, there is a strange visual issue that happens when my tv changes frequencies and the monitors flash

All visual glitches are related to node-webkit, so there's not much I can do about. Maybe the upcoming releases will fix this. I also don't know why your windows always stays on top, because it is configured to not behave like this. Someone recently asked me to implement a minimize on stream-launch feature, so maybe this is what you are looking for.

Last but not least, I would love a theme toggle that would allow me to toggle the white them to a black or dark grey theme (maybe dark grey with a black border?)

Right now I don't want to add different themes. But if someone implements a nice theme switching mechanism and asks me to merge it, I would probably do it.

Hey! Thanks for the response. To clarify : I don't want quality options for when twitch is under heavy load (I wish that was the only time I need the option,) I need it for general purpose use because I don't have very good internet and often watch streams at different qualities.

For example I can watch some streams source and most others high, but if someone in my house is using the internet I have to change the stream to medium or low. So ease of changing quality is really what I'm looking for. Guess you don't really need to know all the details but that is the reason I ask for the feature.

About the always on top, I haven't been able to replicate that so I'm not sure what that was about. It also may interest you that your now playing window is affected by a strange "bug" I submitted to livestreamer that you can read here: chrippa/livestreamer#414 (your now playing window closes in the same fashion I describe, ignore my initial presumptions as I'm corrected as to how the program is supposed to behave.)

Also about the themes, are you referring to having more than 2 themes? Because if it makes it simpler all I really want is an option for white on black (text on background) as opposed to black on white.

Thanks for reading this and take care!
