v1.2 (#3)

- @Hidden-Warden Added a log file, to keep your last input ("Name of
Chromecast:", "Time between photos (s):", "Repetition:")
- - Better support for **.mp4**, in the CSV, next to the url, add the
duration of the video.
- `Exemple: https://abcde.com[XXX].mp4;17` here _17_ is the duration of
the video (in second). Don't forget the " **;** "
- Otherwise, by default the duration is set at 10s | ` def
show_media(url, x=0, duration=10): #duration is in seconds, by default
set at 10 (for mp4) `
  - Better function to close the program and end the connection
