Hi vMix Team and Community,

I am currently developing a custom hardware Tally Light system using Arduino. My goal is to provide visual feedback not just for "On Air" (Red), but also for "Connection Warning/Error" (Yellow/Flashing) situations so the operator can be alerted immediately without looking at the statistics window.

The Problem: I have analyzed the api.xml output (even in the latest versions), and currently, it only provides the boolean state of the activity. For example: <streaming>True</streaming> or <recording>True</recording>.

However, the XML output completely lacks "Health Statistics" such as:

Dropped Frames count

Current Bitrate / Buffer status

SRT RTT or Lost Packets

Because this data is missing from the API, I cannot program my external tally to flash yellow when the stream is unstable or when the recording drops frames due to disk overload.

The Request: Could you please consider adding a <statistics> node or attributes to the existing XML API for Streaming, Recording, and SRT Outputs?

Ideally, we need access to:

Streaming: Dropped frames count & buffer health.

Recording: Dropped frames count & disk write errors.

SRT: Connection quality stats (RTT, dropped packets).

This feature would be incredibly useful for studios building custom automation and monitoring tools.

Thank you for your hard work and this amazing software!

Best regards.
