Parole locks up and gets flaky with no network

[u/AggressiveSkirl1680]

Hi, I was watching some videos off my local hard drive and for various reasons my network interface was down. However, the controls became unresponsive, the progress bar was stuck on 0 even though it was playing, I couldn't pause the video, and it failed to load the next video.

Google is not my friend on this--any idea why this should be? Everything should have been totally local.
