Hi, I am trying to view a WARC file/collection in offline mode (without internet access). It seems that this doesn't work neither in WebRecorder Desktop 2.0.1 or Player 1.8.0 for Windows 10.

Is there anything that I am missing? On the home page of webrecorder.io it literally says:

Webrecorder Player App
Use this desktop web archive viewer to browse exported collections, even when you are offline.

I am not doing anything specific:

  1. Just downloading the windows release.
  2. Opening and capturing a session.
  3. Restart the app without with internet disabled.
  4. The result is that the the sessions/pages doesn't load in the Browsing mode.

Is this option only available in webrecorder.io?

PS: I even created account on webrecorder.io and exported WARC collection from there in order to double check.
