casting doesn't notice when the receiver dies.

When the receiver died, the app didn't notice, it is still believing the receiver is running. (Noticed after chteuchteu/Munin-for-Android-Chromecast-Receiver#5)

I couldn't reproduce this issue, especially now that chteuchteu/Munin-for-Android-Chromecast-Receiver#5 is fixed. Now that it is, how could the receiver die when the app is still running?

the best example would be a simple power failure on the chromecast, it crashing, changed network or lost wireless connection.

Could you try again? I just tried and it works as it should: I connected the app to the Chromecast, then unplugged its power source. Here is the log:

The app knew about the disconnection about 20 seconds after it.

It seems if is now behaving correctly. By the way: 24h later it is still successfully casting (and updating) despite my phone leaving the WiFi numerous times.

Good news! Thank you for testing it!
