   Retro-Mac Fans: @a2_4am has started uploading his classic Mac boot videos to the Internet Archive. For #MARCHintosh I added new Mac boot screensaver-compatible HTML files to the Apple II boot screensaver. There aren't as many of them, but as new ones get added they'll automatically get pulled in to the list. Enjoy! https://github.com/esoffron/compatible-boot-theater

     @a2_4am @thomasfuchs Huh! Did you install from github, compile yourself, or Homebrew? I've done Homebrew and compiled myself and both have worked for me (M1 MBP, OSX 13.3). I think the problem with dual monitors is related to the screensaver rather than the HTML, so I'm thinking of taking a run at the screensaver code but no promises there. Freshly compiled with latest Xcode on new OS didn't magically fix it…

     @soffronoff @thomasfuchs I got this to work in a standalone browser by commenting out all the ogg stuff and forcing it to always use MPEG4. But I have yet to get it to work in the WebKit screensaver.

     @thomasfuchs @a2_4am I set up a VM with a fresh OS 13.2.1 and... it didn't work, even with the same file I used that did work on my host OS. Looks like a code signing problem... are you seeing warnings about needing to check the screensaver for malicious software?
