This is on my long-term plans. I'd be glad to accept pull requests if anyone wants to take this on.
Hi @cachapa ! Thank you for the quick answer! I wish I could help but it is beyond my technical knowledge!
Best Regards, L.
Hi @cachapa In order to overcome this, is there a way to manually specify the url where the videos are retrieved? I would host them on my NAS and expose them to the app so that it is retrieved locally?
Also in fetch_playlists.sh, shouldn't the line if [ $COUNT != 3 ]
be replaced by if [ $COUNT != 4 ]
?
It seems that there will be 4 files and not 3 since you added the tvOS13 one.

+1. subscribed. The app is awesome, great work! Hopefully one day you get to play around with implementing an option to save videos. I take the tricky part would probably how to handle the amount of videos to be saved and new videos that are being added to the streaming pool. Vielen Dank Daniel!
UPDATE - @bxlouis: I found out that the aerials can easily be downloaded and played back with the "Photo and Gallery Screensaver" app to achieve the same. The 4k videos alone are almost 30GB, so that saved me a ton of bandwidth but also I can control which videos I want to play and also click forward/backward to skip or repeat a certain video which is even better.
@markusd1984 thanks for the tip but unfortunately Photo and Gallery Screensaver does not support 4K playback and has not been updated for almost a year now. I can't believe no one came up with such an app already!
@bxlouis I'm playing back those 4k videos no problem on an Nvidia shield Pro 2019 :) Did you try it with the same video files or perhaps some problematic codecs? Love it. Many people switched to that app for same reasons.
Hi,
I have been looking for such a screensaver for a long time but unfortunately, I cannot use it. Indeed, I live in Belgium and here, ISPs limit your bandwidth after a fixed amount of downloaded volume. I therefore cannot use AerialDream as it states that it constantly streams the video.
Would it be possible to add a "caching" feature so that the videos are only downloaded once? It would also make more sense in general.
