Tell the user if no chromecast available #8

I ran peercast today and it downloaded the entire torrent I wanted to cast without ever casting it to my chromecast. I eventually realised this was because the chromecast wasn't discoverable on the network - it would be cool if peercast had a big notice to the user that the casting wasn't going to happen.

(I ended up watching with playback, which is awesome :))

Do you remember what the cli output was? Was it clear that it hadn't found a chromecast?

I still have the output... it said 'Chromecast is connecting' the whole time:
