https://sylvan.apple.com/Aerials/resources-17.tar doesn't seem to exist. Do you know where the new tvOS 17 aerials are stored?

They are stored here: https://sylvan.apple.com/itunes-assets/Aerials126/v4/82/2e/34/822e344c-f5d2-878c-3d56-508d5b09ed61/resources-14-0-10.tar
macOS 15 has changes to the screensaver manifest, this seems to be the newer manifest:
https://configuration.apple.com/configurations/internetservices/aerials/resources-config-14-1.plist
The binary has this file located alongside the plist: https://sylvan.apple.com/itunes-assets/Aerials126/v4/82/2e/34/822e344c-f5d2-878c-3d56-508d5b09ed61/resources-14-1-0.tar
I did not see any changes on tvOS 18.
Does anyone know what settings or program were used to encode the videos here? I have tried for a long time to encode a video that is compatible with Apple's Sonoma background wallpaper video thing, but haven't been successful. So far, the default test footage h265 from an iPhone comes the closest to playing (after exiting screensaver, it flickers back and forth a few frames and only sometimes results in black screen), but anything I made in ffmpeg will play correctly once and then display a black screen once the screensaver exits. If I replace the file with another one of Apple's own, it will work correctly, so clearly there is something wrong with my videos.
Thanks for the update, I didn't know the L5.1 vs L6 etc. made a difference in decoding. Keep us updated if new TAR files are released with additional videos!
Edit: After reading a bit about the different levels, I see the following in terms of Nvidia cards from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_NVDEC
Meanwhile, Intel CPUs based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video
So for me on a 900-series Nvidia card and a Skylake 6th Gen Intel CPU, the only hardware decoding support I have is HEVC 8 bit video via the Intel CPU, and these are 10 bit Aerials videos. 💀
