Design "stats" box

[felipegaucho]

We want to make available some basic p2p stats for users, on the embedded player. These can be either inside the wallet/profile space, or separate. I suggest we show:

• X Peers
• Y Mb stored || (amount of localStorage we're using [under the suggestion of @EuSouRye, an early uploader]).
• A cellphone-battery-level-like meter for showing the speed of upload and download (I don't think users will care for individual speeds, but a general visualisation of connection quality can be nice to have. We can have 4 levels of quality according to our averages).

It'd be great to have this almost as a warning, until the user clicks it for the first time (the fact we're using the user's storage should be transparent just like sites are when telling users they have cookies).

This is not a peer to peer icon, its a chromecast icon

But we can design one peer-to-peer icon if it's needed

Sorry for the mistake! So this is an issue on itself, non-immediate, but to be included in 0.0.3 of the player.

@felipegaucho a few questions about this:

• Mb stored: this sounds like you mean the number of Mb being used to store any/all paratii content on your machine at any given time, and not specific to the video you are watching. Does this make sense in a video stats box? I would think maybe this kind of global statistic could live on another page (that we do not have yet)
• similar question for upload; does it make sense to see this when playing a video if it is not specific to your current video at all?
• download speed and peers I think makes perfect sense

Will definitely need some input from @ya7ya as to from where we can get this information 😄
