Ok, to be clear, I'm not looking to use my live wallpaper as a screen saver, I want it to support my screen saver. I've tried Sucrose,
and the paper dies when the wallpaper closes. I reported this issue
to github, but no response. I've also tried livepaper.exe
(I think it's MoeWall), but that disables the screen saver entirely.
I'd like my system to lock regularly without turning off the
display entirely, so the power options don't work for me. Any live wallpaper that supports .mp4 videos would be great, or I could convert this to another format if needed like .mkv, .avi or .mov. Please
suggest!

And why are you responding to yourself? I think you need to drop this offline mail reader you're using.

I found lively wallpaper. It seems to almost work. The screen saver
loads up just fine, but after I log back in the wallpaper is gone and lively wallpaper is closed. Any better options? I'm willing to pay
for this.
While I'm not a fan of screen savers or power saving settings whatsoever (all disabled here), I could offer some advice that could save you some money and suggest you just turn off your monitor when it's not in use. Heck it will probably even prolong the life of your monitor! ;)

I see nothing wrong with that.. it's simply akin to just adding an addendum to a prerviously posted message. Maybe he could have
changed the TO: field name from Shurato to All while he was at it,
but maybe he forgot that part.
Isn't that basically what the power saving does for your monitor?
Although it's not off via the switch, I thought it still effectively
turned the screen off, which I'd think would be basically the same in helping prolong the life of your monitor.
I've seen Windows 11 be inconsistent about it though. I have it set
to turn off the monitor after 5 minutes of inactivity, but there have
been times when I've left it and came back later and the screen was
still on. So, sometimes I still turn off the monitor via the switch anyway.

the thing is,I listen to music on it on a regular basis.the sound
comes out of the TV.I need to keep that playing, which is why I don't
want power settings to turn it off.

What you wrote above almost promotes what I said. ;)
Disable all of that crap, and turn your monitor off manually. Shouldn't
have any issues regarding power settings tampering with your running programs ever again!
Then, there's Linux.. where it never reboots unless I tell it to!
Still, though.. no matter what, I turn off my monitor manually when I'm not using it. ;)
I suppose it might be. But I've had too many issues in the past coming back from power saving mode or even a screen saver where any of my other programs that were running were either stopped or paused.
You sound like you still have scars from Windows ME and they have never healed.
I want the screen saver to enable, so that the monitor goes blank and
the computer locks, but the music keeps playing.
