You can’t with the LG app. The app is loaded over the internet, like the Web player. No internet means the app can’t load.

That is a different issue. That setting is valid, but only after the app loads.

makes no sense to me. then this option is no longer needed. i also know that it used to be different. we once had no internet for a few days and i was happy to have plex and to be able to play everything locally.  
never mind. all down the drain 😔
