IV. FAQs and Solutions

1. Problem: Dynamic wallpaper causes computer fans to spin wildly or increases power consumption.
   • Solution: Ensure that “Smart Control” and “Power Saving Mode” are enabled in “Preferences” > “Playback”. Also, try to choose videos with moderate resolution and high encoding efficiency, avoid using ultra-high bitrate 8K videos.
2. Problem: After applying dynamic wallpaper, desktop icon text background is not transparent.
   • Solution: This is a macOS mechanism. Go to “System Settings” > “Wallpaper”, set “Appearance” to “Dark” or “Light” (opposite to the main tone of the dynamic wallpaper), which usually solves the problem.
3. Problem: Downloading wallpapers from “Discover” is slow or fails.
   • Solution: Check network connection. Some wallpaper resource servers may be overseas, network conditions will affect download speed. Try switching networks or retry later.
4. Problem: How to completely pause dynamic wallpaper?
   • Solution: Click the status bar menu and select “Pause”. Or, set “Pause when using battery” in “Preferences” > “Playback”, unplug the power adapter to automatically pause.
5. Problem: Imported video files cannot play or stutter.
   • Solution: Check if the video format is supported (MP4, MOV, GIF). If the video resolution is too high, it is recommended to use tools like HandBrake to compress it to the monitor resolution or reduce the bitrate.
6. Problem: Software prompts “Unable to connect to server”.
   • Solution: This usually occurs on first launch or when the network is unstable. Please check firewall settings to ensure the software is not blocked from accessing the network. If using a proxy, try temporarily disabling or switching modes.
7. Problem: How to back up my playlists and favorites?
   • Solution: The software’s data is usually stored in the ~/Library/Application Support/Dynamic Wallpaper/ folder in the user directory. Manually back up this folder. After reinstalling the system, put the backup file back to restore.
8. Problem: Dynamic wallpaper fails when switching users?
   • Solution: Ensure that “Launch at login” is checked in “Preferences” > “General”. If the problem persists, try adding the software to “System Settings” > “General” > “Login Items”.
