Smashcast top stream & search box error

[Tharn]

Putting a name into the search field when browsing Smashcast top streams (or switching from another streaming service with the search box already filled-in) will often throw this error:

Error getting top streams from 'smashcast'.

Thanks for the feedback, what appears to be happening is if you put in the name of a game that there are no streams for, the smashcast api returns it as a failure rather than just returning no items.

Looks like I'll have to deal with this special case myself in the smashcast api client code.

Still (or maybe again?) getting Smashcast errors when selecting "Top Streams".

Oh Smashcast actually shutdown late Nov last year haha: https://medium.com/streamers-corner/smashcast-shuts-down-why-esports-killed-this-platform-8681fa5038dd

Guess that's another API to remove from the app.
