By caching the Steam API calls & responses, and using cached responses on network errors, this enables offline support if a folder was already opened online once before.
The cached responses are used instead of the network calls, until they expire (3 days by default). unless there was a network error, in which case we use the cached responses regardless of their expiration.
This uses the module requests-cache
Along with the art lists caching mechanism (which caches the urls of available arts), Kodi's own cache (which caches the arts and items themselves), this should be good to go for full offline support.
