There is no Wallpaper Engine client on macOS, so the macOS version is a separate, community-maintained npm package built on WaifuX instead.

This fallback is considered expected behavior, not a bug.

Video (.mp4) plays natively and Web/HTML wallpapers load in a sandboxed iframe. You can also upload your own JPG/PNG/MP4 as a custom wallpaper.
