Since we transcode everything from the queue at the moment, if you try to play content from the queue without having a PMS configured/available, the app crashes. Direct play of as much content as possible would obviously help this problem, but we should show a nice message to the user.

I actually started down this path and just never finished. The server object has a central check to ensure there's a transcoding server available, but the section for showing an error to the user is left as a TODO. Also, the return types of some of the functions currently prevent anything useful being done when there is no server, and that is almost certainly why it's currently crashing.
