Gallery. Why do I have to be on line to watch videos?

[Pitothead]

Am I being thick ?!
I down loaded a few of my albums from Picasa web to my Gallery in N7 assuming that I would be able to play videos without being on line.
Off line all I get is a black video screen.
On line they play.
Who is the thicko me or the N7?!
Thanks.

Are you sure it didn't just create a shortcut to the video? I'd try downloading them to a PC or dropbox then moving them to the tablet with file explorer or starring them in db!

Not sure, but your method, ALL albums only can be made available offline......All only from "Gallery"
