@leonspok, thanks for this! My feedback: 1. Changing the wallpaper only on one of the screens doesn't work. If I try doing that, nothing happens. 2. Enabling "Launch at startup" triggers an error: "LoginHelper quit unexpectedly.". Application Specific Information: Sandbox registration failed: Process is not in an inherited sandbox. Application Specific Signatures: Registration error: Process is not in an inherited sandbox. 3. Can you add shorter update intervals? OS X has 5 seconds, 1/5/15/30 minutes, 1 hour. 30 minutes is my favorite. 4. Can you preload a few more wallpapers so when the user changes the current wallpaper, it happens instantly? Thanks again.

@andrys Thanks for your feedback! 1. Can you give me more information? If "Update image on" is set to "all displays", when you press "Change current wallpaper", it will set the same image for all monitors. If it's set to "current display", image will be loaded only for monitor, on which your cursor is and if you press "Change all wallpapers", images will be loaded for all monitors. Does it work on your Mac? 2. Does it happen on version 1.4.1? I thought I fixed it... 3. Sorry, I can't add shorter updates. Currently number of API calls is limited to 5000 per hour, even with 1 hour update interval I exceeded this limits. 4. Thanks for the idea! But images from Unsplash may use a lot of space on your disk (it's often 30-40mb per photo). Maybe I add this function as an option.
@leonspok 1. It doesn't. 2. Yep, still happens on 1.4.1. 3. Cache the photos to your server and serve them from there. 4. A photo shouldn't take 30-40MB, if you serve the minimum resolution required for each user. You could cache the most common resolutions on your server. Right now Irvue is using 50MB of RAM on my Mac. A 1920x1080 JPG with no perceivable loss of quality takes up 465KB.
@leonspok 1. Works fine now. 2. Still fires error.

@andrys @leonspok I was having the issue #2 (LoginHelper crashing repeatedly every 10 seconds!) - have been able to fix it by unselecting "Launch at startup" from Irvue settings, and by manually adding Irvue to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items
