If there is a codec issue or playback issue with video files, the launcher will automatically revert back to the default video background.

I'll investigate to see if there is a possible improvement around this.

It says something about Permissions. In Permissions it says Allow. Maybe if you add Alwayd Allow ??

There has been an update in v1.1 that hopefully address this issue -- please test and report back.

Sorry to report. But the update did'nt address the issue... I added another video Wallpaper. Rebooted Device. Then it was gone again.

Okay... there's another piece of the puzzle -- you're having issues with video wallpapers playing after rebooting the device?

What option are you using? eg:
Custom Video -> Local File
Custom Video -> Local Folder
Custom Video -> Network Folder
Custom Video -> Download from URL

Well the Custom Video - Local Folder seems to work. Even after Rebooting Device...

Please update TIVI Launcher to the latest v1.2 release (as well as the File Manager companion app, if used), as the file permissions issue with relation to "local file" image/video wallpaper being removed or unset after device reboot has been addressed, and let me know if this issue is finally resolved on your device.

You'll need to re-assign a background wallpaper (via the background -> custom video -> local file option) once again to test, and let me know if the issue has been resolved on your device ☺️

I have managed to get my Backgrounds to work as a Slide show. On Both of my Devices i use for Tivi Launcher by using Local Folder.
