Sonoma Video Screensaver Not Working

So when you're on the login screen, the video background plays as expected and then on login, the video comes to a stop as expected, but when the computer goes to screensaver, the video doesn't start up again like it's supposed to.


Anyone else have this issue?

I figured out my problem by doing a Duck Duck Go search and looking at a 3rd party forum. The "energy" tab in Activity Monitor lists all the open programs in a table with one column showing "preventing sleep". I found the problem was a simple Solitaire game that was open in the background. FYI for anyone else needing help.
