TODOs:

• Choose between Chromecasts that gets discovered on LAN.
• Use encode/decoder library to convert other video standards to MP4 stream.
• Use tika or its like to auto detect the media loaded.
• Create another receiver App then the Default Media Receiver.
• Clean up code (this will probably never happen)
• Not sure we need all that try catch on play/stop/load functions.
