hello , would you please make one for all Mac OS wallpapers on Mac OS 15 ?

I've verified this script works across all the versions of macOS that support live wallpaper, even the newest macOS Tahoe, just launched today. FYI, it takes a lot of time downloading those large video files, so be patient.
