I've added the new 4K SDR 240FPS screensavers to the Aerials Kodi package. enen92/screensaver.atv4#55 134 new video files, totaling 64GB. I made it so these videos are preferred over the regular 4K SDR videos.
For reference, the only apparent difference in the 4K SDR 240FPS videos from the 4K SDR original videos is the jump from 30FPS to 240FPS, and the jump from Main 10 L5 to L6.1. They're both HEVC, both BT.709 color space, etc.

THAT SAID, I saw that playback in Kodi resulted in tons of dropped/skipped frames and choppy playback on my older Intel/Nvidia HTPC (Kodi reported the HEVC software decoder). VLC on the same machine couldn't play at all. The machine doesn't seem capable of handling the 240FPS file in its current state, because it plays the 30FPS file without issue.
I'll probably just hoard these 240FPS files for now and await optimizations that make them easier to play.

Yep, most hardware decoding units only do L5.1, or don't handle anything above 120 FPS. So it goes back to CPU decoding and that's a handful at 240 fps. I don't remember what Nvidia does off the top of my head but it's likely that older GPUs don't do L6.1 either.
Intel's QuickSync units are L5.1 only, but for the most recent SKUs. There's a handy table here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Hardware_decoding_and_encoding
I've had some reports that those don't play great on Intel macs that are still supported under Sonoma, unsurprisingly. On my end, I only plan to make these the default format in Aerial for M1 macs, because those have full hardware decoding.
Still looking for the HDR versions of the new videos, configuration still points to the -10.tar
Thanks for the update, I didn't know the L5.1 vs L6 etc. made a difference in decoding. Keep us updated if new TAR files are released with additional videos!
Edit: After reading a bit about the different levels, I see the following in terms of Nvidia cards from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_NVDEC
- 900 series cards support hardware decoding for H.264 but not High 10
- 1000 series cards add support for HEVC/H.265 4:2:0 at 8/10/12 bit
- 2000 series cards add support for 4:4:4 HEVC at 8/10/12 bit
- 3000 series cards add support for AV1 4:2:0 8/10 bit, not 12 bit
- 4000 series cards add the missing 12 bit AV1
Meanwhile, Intel CPUs based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video
- Skylake/6th Gen supports L5.1 AVC/H.264 and HEVC/H.265
- Kaby/Coffee/Comet Lake 7th Gen, 8th Gen, 10th Gen supports HEVC 10 bit
- Rocket/Alder/Raptor Lake 11th Gen, 12th Gen, 13th Gen supports HEVC 4:2:0 12 bit, and decode-only AV1 8 bit and 10 bit
- Meteor Lake 14th Gen supports AV1 12 bit
So for me on a 900-series Nvidia card and a Skylake 6th Gen Intel CPU, the only hardware decoding support I have is HEVC 8 bit video via the Intel CPU, and these are 10 bit Aerials videos. 💀
https://sylvan.apple.com/Aerials/resources-17.tar doesn't seem to exist. Do you know where the new tvOS 17 aerials are stored?
https://sylvan.apple.com/Aerials/resources-17.tar doesn't seem to exist. Do you know where the new tvOS 17 aerials are stored?
They are stored here: https://sylvan.apple.com/itunes-assets/Aerials126/v4/82/2e/34/822e344c-f5d2-878c-3d56-508d5b09ed61/resources-14-0-10.tar
macOS 15 has changes to the screensaver manifest, this seems to be the newer manifest:
https://configuration.apple.com/configurations/internetservices/aerials/resources-config-14-1.plist
The binary has this file located alongside the plist: https://sylvan.apple.com/itunes-assets/Aerials126/v4/82/2e/34/822e344c-f5d2-878c-3d56-508d5b09ed61/resources-14-1-0.tar
I did not see any changes on tvOS 18.
Does anyone know what settings or program were used to encode the videos here? I have tried for a long time to encode a video that is compatible with Apple's Sonoma background wallpaper video thing, but haven't been successful. So far, the default test footage h265 from an iPhone comes the closest to playing (after exiting screensaver, it flickers back and forth a few frames and only sometimes results in black screen), but anything I made in ffmpeg will play correctly once and then display a black screen once the screensaver exits. If I replace the file with another one of Apple's own, it will work correctly, so clearly there is something wrong with my videos.
@HappyMac3920 I see the new https://sylvan.apple.com/itunes-assets/Aerials126/v4/82/2e/34/822e344c-f5d2-878c-3d56-508d5b09ed61/resources-14-1-1.tar but the "Sequoia Sunrise" is not there.
@HappyMac3920 I see the new https://sylvan.apple.com/itunes-assets/Aerials126/v4/82/2e/34/822e344c-f5d2-878c-3d56-508d5b09ed61/resources-14-1-1.tar but the "Sequoia Sunrise" is not there.
It isn’t in the manifest. However, I can tell you where you can find the screensaver. It is built into macOS.
If you would like the full video, you’ll need to download the macOS IPSW image.
As of now, the latest version of the 15.0 beta ISPW is: https://updates.cdn-apple.com/2024SummerSeed/fullrestores/062-45756/5B063A0C-5ECA-434B-A462-CD1F65737105/UniversalMac_15.0_24A5309e_Restore.ipsw
After downloading, rename the ipsw extension to zip. Once that’s done, look for the largest .dmg.aea file in the zip file. To decrypt it, first use a tool called IPSW: https://github.com/blacktop/ipsw
Then run this command on the Terminal after installing ipsw: ipsw fw aea <.dmg.aea file goes here>
After decryption, on macOS, mount the dmg. On Windows, use 7-Zip to mount the dmg.
After that, make sure to enable hidden files. On macOS, you can do this by pressing Shift+Command+. at the same time in Finder. The wallpaper video is located in the dmg in System/Library/Desktop Pictures/.wallpapers/Sequoia Sunrise
@HappyMac3920 Thanks a lot!
macOS 15 has changes to the screensaver manifest, this seems to be the newer manifest: https://configuration.apple.com/configurations/internetservices/aerials/resources-config-14-1.plist
I didn't check the recent binaries but based on your comment, I randomly tried : https://configuration.apple.com/configurations/internetservices/aerials/resources-config-15-0.plist
And yep, it's here, it points to this : https://sylvan.apple.com/itunes-assets/Aerials126/v4/82/2e/34/822e344c-f5d2-878c-3d56-508d5b09ed61/resources-15-0-2.tar
There are 137 videos, the classic 134 + the 3 new Sequoia ones that are in a new subcategory.
Pushing an update for my Aerial screensaver later today with those.
That manifest remains 240 FPS only though. At that point I'm not sure what tvOS uses as a manifest for the HDR ones ? Maybe it's still on resources-15.tar or they use a built-in one.
I put together a quick command line tool to help with grabbing all the wallpapers, useful for people on Linux.
Check it here.
is there a way to access the newly launched screensavers from tvOS 26?
is there a way to access the newly launched screensavers from tvOS 26?
Currently no, at least I couldn't find them in the manifests. Maybe they will be live in a future update (but I can't test since I don't have an Apple Silicon Mac or an Apple TV).
macos 26 (i think at least?) is up: https://configuration.apple.com/configurations/internetservices/aerials/resources-config-26-0.plist
I put together a quick script to take their output and give something a bit cleaner to work with: https://gist.github.com/imajes/d62862b132185ac4162ff997025ef42d
@imajes thanks for the pointer; I've updated my wallgrab tool to properly download these resources:
$ go install github.com/kenshaw/wallgrab@master
$ wallgrab list
$ wallgrab show
$ wallgrab grabApparently they forgot to put .plist entries for A33A55D9-EDEA-4596-A850-6C10B54FBBB8/0DC99DD8-3386-4D1E-8878-C43E97EB710A, which was causing problems with my script, and has now been fixed.
Quick output from wallgrab, which I just fixed to correctly deal with the missing .plist name:

Does the released tvOS 26 has any of the new aerials?
I wonder if there any HDR versions available.

Yes the new videos are there. But we still have no idea where the manifest is available :(
got Apple TV 4k 1st gen, will try jailbreaking it to see if there any manifest available
tvOS 26.4 videos
Goa Beaches 4K HDR version
I booted tvOS 26.4 in Xcode's tvOS Simulator and examined the network requests being made. idleassetsd seemed to be the relevant daemon, as on macOS. The requests were being cached in ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices//data/Library/Caches/com.apple.idleassetsd/Cache.db.
I pulled the full request URL, headers, and response body (stored in binary plist blobs) out of the NSURLCache SQLite files, including the decoded JSON bag.xml containing aerialScreensaverSources.

This is awesome @cmyx99, last time I tried I couldn't find them, great discovery. Will be in next Aerial build tomorrow !
Great work, I'll integrate this into Aerial Views in the next couple of days, and update the Aerial Videos site too.
Also, did you mean tvOS 26 and not 16?

It's 26, the real thing we've been looking for 💪

Yes, this was a typo. I've edited my post to correct this and to clarify where the URLs were obtained.
At first glance there are 127 videos vs 136 in the macOS one
The 4 tahoe "videos" are not in the feed, and I guess 5 whatever are missing too ? Not a huge deal but worth noting if you are merging the sources.
That seems to be the case. I've checked what's available in the tvOS simulator and it doesn't include any of the macOS tahoe, sequoia, sonoma videos. I imagine this is the same for actual hardware but I can't confirm this.
Yep can confirm, it's 4 tahoe, 3 sequoia (one has a HDR/Dolby Vision version out of the four, somehow, not sure why) and likely some sonoma shots.
It's (mostly) the fixed shots that are missing, really not a big deal.
Previous tvOS link pattern with the new file name also exists
