Endless stream of commercial is shown when the stream fails #71

When the stream fails to provide even one image and fails right away instead (Px500 tends to do that), the cache is empty and there is nothing to show. In that case, PhotoCloud shows an endless stream of commercials which is extremely annoying. If purchased, PhotoCloud would instead misleadingly show that there are no more photos in the stream.

This is currently quite hard to fix, so I guess it's easier to implement a workaround: if the cache is empty, I will show a dummy image instead. The image should read something like:

The stream failed, retrying. Please wait.

Workaround implemented in 1.11
