Hi there

Apologies if this is obvious - but is there a way to find out the Channel Name/Number of the current Live TV channel when you are watching Live TV or time shifted Live TV?  It doesn't seem to be a Player property, and the PVR stuff doesn't seem to have an obvious solution either.

I'm using a small TFT LCD on a Pi Zero W to interrogate a separate platform running Kodi to act as a wireless remote status display - and it would be great if I could get the Live TV channel name (and update the display to show the player was in Live TV rather than Video Files/Library mode)?

And again - 100 apologies if this is a really stupid question with a stunning obvious answer.
