That's a horribly outdated version linked in that video sadly, and that one no longer runs on recent macOS (because it's not notarized).

Just in case anyone wants to try it, please grab latest build here instead : https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial/releases

Or if you want an installer with auto updates, get it here : https://aerialscreensaver.github.io

Latest betas include Apple Music/Spotify integration, Speed control, and brings back the ability to put your videos anywhere (including an external drive!) on Monterey.

Wow! Is there anything similar that you know of for Android TV? I would love to have something like this over the stock photo slideshow.

I only make the mac version, but I've seen this "port" for Android TV.

No guarantees from me that it's any good : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codingbuff...

It's open source too, according to the description, it streams and doesn't cache videos and apparently it handles 4K HDR. If data usage is a concern to you, be aware that some videos are close to 1 GB.

I use this one on my TV, and it's great, highly recommend.

If bandwidth is a concern, you can also point it towards a local JSON file with whatever URLs you want, so you can mirror the screensavers locally and then stream them from there.
