Mac os screensaver not starting mac os#
I told exactly 5 mins because I started the watch when moving the mouse into the corner, it still takes 1-2 seconds until the screensaver comes up.Īnd just reproduced the same with Flurry (not sure if translation from German "Wirbel" is correct), Mac OS standard screensaver, stuttering exactly after 5:02.
Mac os screensaver not starting manual#
But it is always +/- 1 second which is most likely manual stopwatch measurement error. I had Aerials stuttering starting always at 5:02, this time it was 5:03. I just tried again, now both displays enabled again and mirrored. Exactly 5 mins is not something I've ever heard about in the various choppiness scenarios Please let me know about HDR and I'll try to think about what we can do, but if you see the same issue with Arabesque then I'm afraid it's a MacOS bug and the best way forward may be to fill a radar.
Mac os screensaver not starting driver#
My rough guess is that 2015 and before are probably on another driver than 2016+ Macs with Intel graphics and the issues are different. That's interesting, again I'd ask about HDR too on your MBP ? There are multiple weirdness happenning right now on more recent Intel graphics Mac, see here : #871 iCloud Photo Library may have tried to use those units in // in some cases was something that I've seen a long time ago, but not recently. As far as ressources, the GPU decoding on Intel is done through a fixed unit so that's usually not an issue. On the one hand, the 5 mins thing would suggest some sort of delayed task starting. If you have it enabled, can you try disabling it and letting me know ? There's known stuttering with HDR on some machines, I thought this was limited to AMD Graphics Macs but someone with an Intel integrated graphics reported a similar issue yesterday here : #801 (comment) Since then I'll add one more question, did you enable HDR or not in Catalina ?
Mac os screensaver not starting 1080p#
Hi screensaver starts off smooth but gets choppy after a 5 minutes on Mac Mini Late 2012 with 16 GB RAM and 500 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD. In order to help us sort your issue, we ask that you provide the following information:Ģ7 inch Fujitsu Display L27T1-LED at 1920x1080 and Lenovo L1951p Wide at 1440x900. Not a CPU load problem, not a iCloud Photo Analysis problem, not a Spotlight related. It is mentioned, but purposed fix does not fix the problem.
It is mentioned in 428, but without working solution or workaround. Your issue isn't already mentioned in our Too me this looks overall like a strange Mac OS bug or strange Mac OS behavior that needs to be mitigated, since later Mojave versions and affecting the Mac Minis.īefore logging an issue please check that:ġ.6.4 is installed no beta versions found. Other system standard screensavers like Arabesque show similar behaving.
Mac os screensaver not starting pro#
The Mac Mini has a Core i5" (3210M) CPU with Intel HD Graphics 4000, then MacBook Pro Mid 2012 has basically same CPU and same integrated Graphics.
I had stuttering after a while, too, on a Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012: Here enabling the Mac OS based clock fix the issue. The Aerials trace file does not show anything useful, except that it started the Animation.Įnabling the Mac OS based screensaver system clock (in Mac OS setting, not in Aerials settings) does not change anything. I am not convinced that it is a CPU/GPU/disk/network resource issue. If it would be a system resource bottleneck, then definitely playing only the video on one display instead of two should have massively reduced the system load. All this does have no effect and the stuttering always again occurs after exactly 5 min. I tried increasing the process priority of the Vtdecoderxpcservice with renice, disabling Time Machine, Spotlight, killing iCloud Photo Analysis etc. Even disabling one of the displays and leaving it just black and playing the video only on the main display still produces the stuttering after exactly 5 min.Īre you using 1080p H264 as prefered video format ? Yes, play on All Display, Mirrored, Fill Screen.Ĭhanging those settings does not have any effect on the choppy playback. Cached or streamed does not show any change. It get's choppy after exactly 5 min of playback. Is it always choppy from the start or just gets choppy at some point ? This occurs both with Mojave and Catalina 10.15.1.Įxactly the same topic was discussed here, but as it is still reproducible and issue #428 is not fixed or explained: Aerial screensaver starts off smooth but gets choppy after a 5 minutes on Mac Mini Late 2012 with 16 GB RAM and 500 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD.
