What good is the saved cache going to do for you if you can't open the client and navigate to the cached video? Literally, the only way your idea would currently work is for you to make sure to never close the video player (at least for 10 hours in your case) or keep it in the background and hope your device doesn't close it automatically to free up resources. Though if you think about it, if you never close the video player, you basically put a lock on the cache from being deleted, so no extra code needed to save the cache for when you're offline.
I'm not saying your idea is bad. I'm saying your cache-storing suggestion will not currently work until Jellyfin implements official offline support. Until then, you'll get better results just downloading the original file to your local device for when you don't have access to your server.
