Research direction
Investigate the VLC player integration in the webtorrent desktop source code, likely in the 'src/player' directory. Look for how playback status is currently displayed and where the download speed and progress updates are emitted. Examine the torrent engine events and ensure they are forwarded to the UI when VLC is active. Consider adding a status bar or updating the existing UI to show download information.
