Hi there!
First of all, thanks a lot for your hard work on this project : a great piece of art.
Next, about my inquiry :
Request : Add an explicit option "Offline Mode" within the screensaver parameters that allows the screensaver to run without any internet connection and to rely only on the current existing cache within the appdata/local/aerial folder.
Why : There are a few reasons for this :
Even if the videos are cached as one goes along, it devours quite all the bandwidth until everything is downloaded. Low connections are unable to support that.
Not all computers (like professional workstations) are connected to the internet or are behind company firewalls or implicit filters. Therefore, these computers can't run the screensaver at all.
A lot of users, including myself, prefer to directly download the Apple videos from the original source as a whole package and put them directly into the cache folder. This is also a solution for the two previous cases.
For all these reasons, I think this option would be very useful for a lot of users.
Thank you by advance for your interest in this request.
