LC Player buffering data

[panagiotis m]

Hello Peter,

Off the top of my head, I think there is a related read-only property
("loadState") but this is for the iOS mobile player. So you can get the
value of this property using the mobileControlGet command, and start the
video playback accordingly. However, if I remember correctly, your app runs
on Mac and Windows. is that correct?

I suggest you file an enhancement request, my guess is that it shouldn't be
too tricky to add such a property, at least for the Mac player.

Cheers,
Panos
