RadioCaster: Prelisten input always active

[midzi]

Hi,
I would like it to be possible to configure the prelistten input function to be active even when its window is not displayed. In addition to broadcasting to the icecast server, I also send a RadioCaster-processed stream to OBS using just this function, and such an option would make my life a lot easier.

Why do you like the window to be removed? The presence of the window shows that the prelisten is active, shows its status/errors. Without the window, we'll have to put all this info to the main window, and this would probably look cluttered.

The window is not modal, so while it's active, you can still use RadioCaster as if without this window.

In that case, it's an accessibility error. I am blind and use a screen reader. When prelisten input is active, I can't use the caster, I can't navigate in its window with tab and cursor keys.

We'll think of some solution for this. Redesigning it or maybe adding a key combination like Ctrl+Tab to switch between the main and prelisten windows.

Yes, the keyboard shortcut will be a good option. I noticed that when I minimize the RadioCaster window and then return to it I am able to navigate through its interface, but in turn I am not able to easily return to the prelisten input window.

This needs to be improved then, thank you for the information.
