⚠️⚠️⚠️ These alpha versions finally fix the Sequoia/Tahoe black screen issues. Some features still missing, bugs expected. Support for this on Discord, or report issues on github ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Do not install this if you changed the cache location (to a NAS or an external drive for example and this is important to you). All Aerial data is stored in /Users/Shared/Aerial and will offer migrating data from the container. Other location support will come back in a subsequent alpha.
🚨🚨🚨 WARNING : 🚨🚨🚨
- DO NOT LAUNCH THE APP FROM YOUR DOWNLOAD FOLDER. After you download the app, move it to your
/Applicationsfolder (or if you want to test things, you can try~/Applications, it's untested but should work). You will have issues if you move around the app, so pick one and stay with it, or the new screensaver will not work.
What's new :
- Fix crash when enabling tvOS 13
- Fix location not working (weather & co)
- Fix perfect looping that was broken specifically in Tahoe when you only have one video in your playlist
- New quick picker for what you want to play in the popover :
- More settings panels moved to Companion. The new settings are available in the second icon at the bottom of the popover UI. The old settings are available as a fallback for now in the 3rd icon.
- Add "advanded" screen detection. It will cause a delay of around a second at the start but fixes the spanned mode issues. If you don't have multiple screens, or none of your screens share the same resolution as another one, then you can disable this in the new settings > Displays, at the very bottom.
- Fix annoying 1px border in desktop mode in Tahoe
- Fix desktop mode not restarting when exiting screensaver
Known issues/Various gotchas :
- Music overlay is not working and will require changes as Apple no longer allow us to grab the information in
mediaremoted.
Important :
-
If things don't work, open the "new" settings and look at the checklist on top. You should get buttons to resolve issues if any. (register/enable). Report issues about this on discord/github.
-
You can be sure you are running the new version if you see a version number at the bottom corner of the screen when you start the screensaver. It disappears after a few seconds and will be removed in the future.
