App doesn't start in airplane mode

kabo commented 4 years ago

## The Issue ### Steps to reproduce 1. close lbry 2. turn on airplane mode 3. start lbry ### Expected behaviour The app should start up and for example allow me to watch videos I've downloaded to my library ### Actual behaviour I get a screen saying ``` Oops! Something went wrong App startup failed. Please check your data connection and try again. ✓ Loaded installation ID. ✓ Loaded local known and followed tags. ❌ Loaded LBC/USD exchange rate. ❌ User authenticated. ❌ Installation registered. ❌ Loaded subscriptions. ❌ Resolved subscriptions. ``` I know I can find the videos in the downloads folder and watch them from there, so there is a workaround. But I think it would be nice if I could watch my downloaded videos in LBRY even if I'm offline. ## System Configuration - Device: Pixel 2 XL - Android version: 10 ## Anything Else

App version: 0.15.14 LBRY SDK: 0.76.0

Hmm, it doesn't appear to happen every time, but it certainly happens some times.

Thanks for the report. Currently the background process and authentication needs internet to be able to work properly. It will take some time to support an offline scenario.
