Android Offline download playback does not work unless connected to the Internet.

---

I had a bit of an odd issue with the downloading of shows on my Android Phone last week. As i was waiting to board my plane back to the UK, i downloaded several episodes of the AWS series to watch on the plane back. Downloading the 5 episodes on the app was completed, i checked one of the episodes and it played fine. On the aircraft at 30,000ft (without mobile signal) only the video that i had previewed in the terminal played. the others failed to play despite showing downloaded but with the error message unable to play video.,,,,how wierd is that?

ive also managed to replicate the issue on the ground i downloaded a video and shut off the internet connect, i get unable to play video unless i switch on the internet.
Has anyone else had this issue or have a fix or tell me what i am doing wrong?
Thanks

@Rahim-Mawani,
I've forwarded this post to our Product Team. They will reply to you soon.

Hello Rahim,
I apologize for the delay in response. We had a different app issue fixed that we thought might resolve this. I can replicate what you experienced. We are completely re-doing the Android app to mirror our flagship iOS app experience in the coming months. In the meantime, you can download from mobile browser and have the content available for viewing there for those times when you are going to be without a good signal or wifi. I truly understand the limitation and we will have this fixed when we release the new Android app. Thanks for being a valued member.
