Note that this same screensaver works perfectly on my identical iMac using identical Mac OS version at home. Not sure what the problem is. Screen shots attached.

It seems, that the videos cannot be downloaded if you Mac is behind a proxy.

I'm not behind a proxy on either Mac. I've got AT&T uVverse here at home and COX cable at work. And my Mac has been freed from most all the office's usual rules since I'm the IT guy so I have unfettered access.

Is there some way for me to troubleshoot what is blocking or being blocked, maybe a direct link to one of the videos so I can test it, or something I can look up in our firewall to see if it's being stopped?

The following URL is called to retrieve a list of video URLs:

Hmm... I just tried 2 of those video direct links from here, where the screen saver is failing, and got the prompt to download each no problem.

I see nothing in my firewall logs that says it's being blocked or stopped either. Any suggestions on how I might troubleshoot it further? Or help you in any way?

Hi @alienmeatsack have you tried a recent beta? Is it working for you now?

Sorry for the delay, this notification came in while I was sick last week. I am downloading the latest beta and will report back my results!

Appears to work now in 1.2 B5 for me. I will let it run for a few days and report back but it appears to be fixed now. Thank you!
