Ticker RSS feed does not work Offline.

You say that:

> Random feeds work offline; the entire feed is parsed, rendered and downloaded to the Player and then sorted in a random fashion for display. We use a Durstenfeld shuffle to randomize the order of items. Randomise works on the full feed, “Number of items” and “Take items from” options.

But **this is not happening**.

**01** - After displaying the feeds normally with the player connected to the internet, I **turned off the internet** , restarted the player **WITHOUT INTERNET** and the RSS Feed **is not displayed**.  
**02** - If the player is **on** and with **internet** , playing normally, when the internet goes down, the RSS Feed **is not displayed**.

In all cases a black screen is displayed instead.

**01** - In the Ticker’s “ **Cache** ” Tab, I defined **60** in both fields.  
**02** - In the settings of the Player Profile, In the “ **General** ” Tab I defined the interval of **1 minute** in “Connectivity”, _I use this intervals to see the results more quickly in the tests._  
**03** - In the Player Profile settings, In the “ **Troubleshooting** ” tab the option “Store HTML resources internally” is **disabled**.  
**04** - In the Player Profile settings, In the “ **Advanced** ” Tab the option “Allow cache of web resources” is **activated**.  
**05** - When scheduling, I selected “Always”.

Is everything ok there?  
Is there any other configuration that is prerequisite for the Feed to be displayed offline as stated in the manual?

OBS.: The player I am using for tests does not have a battery, that is, whenever it restarts it loses the date and time, and updates via the internet, as in this test I restarted the player without internet, the date and time are still wrong.

**What would I like?**  
**That the FEED RSS content continue to be with or without internet.** 😀  
Until I removed the content in the CMS and the Player was able to update.  
Why doesn’t it work this way?  
It is much better to display content offline, than to display a black screen.  
Or at least, let us decide when to stop showing the Feed. Does not agree?
