Screen saver broken in Monterey
When selecting the Photos library or a folder of photos, they do not render. Have tried various options (e.g., Classic, Ken Burns, etc.). No luck.

I wanted to edit this to add to it, but can't do that, so here we go. I did notice on the iMac that if I pick any other screen saver, Monterey, Hello etc. they work, it is just with photos that they do not work.
Not for everybody it doesn't. Great that it's fixed it for you, but see above for several people who are still having problems.
No, it doesn't. Everything I've reported was done so on 12.1. As I said, Plugin-Alliance's last statement (in September) states that they are not native M1.
Oops, should have said upgrading to macOS 12.1 (21C52) worked on MacBook Air Dual-Core Intel Core i5.
In my case the issue got solved with the latest OS update 🤗
I'm on the latest and greatest. I still get green screens most of the time. I have one black JPG in a folder assigned to the screen saver.
I have nearly 100k photos, I LOVE how the screensaver randomly brings back memories from my life, journeys, and adventures.
Same problem here.
15k+ photos.
Screensaver not working on my imac 2017
nor on my brand new macbook pro received yesterday (didn't migrate but just copy over my Photos Library).
Still doesn't work for me after upgrading to 12.2. All of my photos are on the cloud.
I am also having this screen saver issue...on my new MacBook Pro with Monterey 12.0.1 the Ken Burns screen saver is blank as are several others. How do I fix this?
I don't think its on any priority list; Mac user since 1988; it's a different world now.
Also not working on my iMac, but is working on my early 2015 MacBookPro13.
Why don't you block the screen instead of using a screensaver then?
You can set a hot corner to "Put the Display to Sleep".
Or just create a black jpeg and choose that.
After many (many dozen) attempts using the official Apple instructions, I got it right, but there is no way I can tell you, I hope to never have to do it again!
