Streaming status/duration feedback

Streaming status/duration feedback
Is there a way to get the feedback of the stream duration? I can see it live in the log window of vMix. In this case it's a custom RTMP stream.

Usecases
I would like one button to show the streaming duration and not just the recording duration.

Unfortunately the API doesn't return a duration, it doesn't even differentiate between a stream that has actually been established and one that is still connecting (and potentially failing) so we can't even accurately calculate it ourselves as if for example there was a typo in the stream destination it would never actually be live but as far as the vMix API shows the stream is enabled.
