Watch All the Apple TV Aerial Video Screensavers (2015)

[coffeecheque]

Pity there isn't a single one from the southern hemisphere. That said, they are gorgeous. I'd just like to see something from the other side of the globe.

There should be some new 4k ones. They demo'ed them at the recent Apple event.

John Gruber noted [1] that you can see a swimming pool with 2 sharks in it in one of the 4K Dubai day flyovers, though I haven't found them yet...

Edit: Could be bottom right of Dubai, day, 1?

Dubai, day 4, at the 2:30 mark, left hand side. I'm pretty sure they're just painted on the bottom of the pool, not actual sharks.

Because Screensavers don’t save screens anymore maybe we should call them energy wasters instead.

With the usage of OLED that’s not quite true, burn-in can happen again which is an odd thing. Easier to fix than it was though, apparently.

These are nice, to be sure, but in the spirit of artificial pixel scrambling, I can't help offering an antithesis:

Still my favourite.

You might like Electric Sheep [1] as well then.

My fav is the Word of the Day. It shows a nice blue background which doesn't hurt the eyes, with a word of the day. Though I don't use a screensaver on my MBP anymore; it needlessly drains the battery. Instead, I made a small Python program which selects a random word and shows the meaning for that word, using dict. Now that I think of it I could've used the current date as seed plus some calculations to come up with a stable word throughout the day which changes daily.

I also like the Chromecast one with photos from the past, tho a bit confronting Google has all that data.

Anyone here who can point towards using them as Windows Screensavers?

Chrome lets me download the video files - so it's just a matter of saving them to your local disk/NAS and using a video-as-screensaver program that supports MP4 files (so any DirectShow-based player on Windows 8 or later will do).

brew cask install aerial

For those that are wondering: this installs these screensavers on MacOS. https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial

Anyone know how to make this work for Kodi, especially as audio visualization? (I don't mind downloading the videos first)

[Nanite]

http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Aerial, actually installed it earlier today, had to reboot after, to get the downloads working

This slide show became available on Kodi about 6 months back and makes for an awesome screensaver
