Automatically restart desktop background mode after reboot if running before reboot
raylau1234 opened this issue · comments
Minor:
After a reboot, Companion starts up (as a login item), but it does not automatically restart the desktop background mode that was running before the reboot.
Running 1.5.0b3 on Ventura 13.4
Hey @raylau1234
That's a good point ! I'm currently rethinking desktop background to handle multiple monitors and this is another thing that I definitely need to add so that the experience is a lot more seemless.
I'll keep it in mind, thanks !
Hey @raylau1234
This is in 1.5.0b4 :
It will only restart if it was previously running. Also I suggest in that same window, you make sure get aerial beta says Yes.
Of note, you can now quickly change the background video speed :
Goes in steps: 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, and 1x speed. Those are calculated to work "fine" with both 24 fps videos and 240 fps videos. 240 fps support is added also in 3.2.7beta1, but note that only a handful of videos are currently available in that format (it will revert to 4K HEVC when not available).
The restart at launch works great!!!
However, fwiw, the speed setting doesn't work for my custom local video which is at 24 fps.
Speed should work with all videos, bit weird.
You may need to restart Companion and make sure you updated to 3.2.7beta1 too. Let me know if it still doesn't.
Edit: Double checked with a custom folder and it works here. One thing of note, you may need to reset the speed manually when video changes or at start, there's a bug around there.
Ah, it was an older version of aerial itself s I didn't have betas activated in companion. Works now!
