offline mode

Please reduce the connection time required when using a mobile device without an internet connection, as it takes too long to enter offline mode to view content that is already downloaded on the phone or any other mobile device.I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. GREAT WORK, EXCELLENT APP.

Hi. In what app do you see this?

On my iPad, if on a plane or something, I get presented with the connection screen almost instantly.

I have also seen very long load times before being able to see downloaded content on multiple iPhone and iPads. From my testing it seems that if you still have a cellular connection on it will cause the buffer before being able to view the content, turning on Airplane mode made the app open almost instantly since it wasn't trying to connect to the server. I think a good solution to this would be to have the Emby App allow you to skip the connection part of the start up and go straight to downloads. 

 

 

Here is a rough example I made:

Okay, my iPad does not have cell service so I think it knows immediately that there is no network and that's why the difference.

Hi, yes there is room for improvement there. Thanks.
