@henryp007 you're trying the latest build of v6.1 that I uploaded yesterday? https://github.com/cDima/Aerial/releases
I also experienced this problem on Windows 8.1 Pro with .NET 4.6.1055.0
Aerial.scr
file to C:/WindowsAerial.scr
file, chose "Install"However, this was using the file directly from master/install/Aerial.scr.
I have tried using the Aerial.scr
from the releases/download/v6.1/Aerial.zip, and it seems to work OK.
I am not sure why this should be.
Same situation description as @BenJenkinson except using Windows 10 Pro, .NET 4.6.01586, and v6.1 doesn't work for me. It allows me to set settings but when I preview, screen saver crashes. When I wait for the screen saver to come up, my screens go black for a second and then back to desktop. Will try updating to latest .NET.
I just tried installing .NET 4.6.2 but it says it's already on my system so I guess I have it.

Try opening http://a1.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/000/Features/atv/AutumnResources/videos/entries.json in a web browser. Do you get a bunch of text that looks like the following?

@alistairmcmillan Yes on both counts; but I do currently have a working screensaver.
As I said before, for some reason it worked using the Aerial.scr
file from the .zip
. Repeatably too; I can uninstall the working one, the other one fails, then I can successfully re-install the working one.
@BenJenkinson you were using the bleeding edge version from master - that might have had a brief bug in it. Does that sound plausible? I'll try to include logging and versioning in the next version so we have details to triangulate master copies.
@cDima Extremely plausible. I assumed the files would be identical (since they were added in the same commit), but a binary diff shows they are different.
@BenJenkinson I started writing the powershell script to do releases for me automatically (it's manual now) but got distracted. :speak_no_evil:
@Will0fD might be slow network (the vidoes are huge) as @alistairmcmillan suggested.
I'm running Windows 10 Pro N, and had the same problem - check if Windows media player is installed, if not you can install it by adding the Media Feature pack from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=48231
This fixed my problem!
Hi, I'm running windows 10 Pro and I can't get the screensaver to display, when I go to preview it nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
