"Current" iMac 27" purchased a few months back.

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?

from aerial.

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!

Glad to hear it's work @alienmeatsack
