DynamicLink Media Server not available?

This is the message that pops up after I try to import video frames to layers. I've looked everywhere for some sort of solution to this problem. I've tried closing the program, waiting for about a minute and re-opening it multiple times, I've tried restarting my computer, I've tried disabling my firewall, I've tried using Bridge, and I've tried just about every other option that has been given to others who have reported this same issue. None of it has worked for me. I would really, really appreciate it if someone could give me a clear answer as to what I could possibly do to fix this problem that I haven't already tried. Thank you.

Here is a reply from a previous post.  Seems like restarting worked.

So we've been looking into it and have a few suggestions.
Would you please try the following and report back. Thank you!
- Of course a restart of Photoshop, preferably with clean preferences is a good place to start.
- Try to open the movie file in Photoshop with the Open command. If dynamic link manager isn’t working, Photoshop should show the same error manager.
- Try browsing and playing the file in Bridge. Does that work?
- Make sure any parental control applications, such as Net Nanny, have not blocked access to Photoshop's dynamiclinkmanager.exe and dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe files. Add Photoshop as an exception to any such application that you have running. 
- There are some frameworks / libraries Photoshop includes for communicating with DLM. If any of those are missing, that will show this error message. A reinstall would be necessary.

  • Dynamic link media server not available

    I'm using Photoshop CS6 and I keep getting this error while trying to import video frames to layers
    I've looked around and tried the recommended steps offered on other threads. When I reboot my laptop it works again for maybe five minutes but the moment I try to import another video it doesn't work. If I close the program, wait 30 seconds, and try again I get the error message again. When I try opening Bridge the whole program freezes.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Some security tool on your system is blocking the service/ shutting it down.

  • I'm trying to load video file into CS6 I keep getting error message: 'Could not complete you request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.' No Idea what to do next. Help please.

    I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
    Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
    'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
    Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

    Hi Mylenium,
    upfront:
    I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
    However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
    Now the real deal:
    I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
    The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
    I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
    I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

  • DynamicLink Media Server is not available. I can't open any video file in Photoshop CC and when it does, Photoshop freezers and I can't do anything else. I'm using OS X 10.9.4-3.1 GHz Intel-16 GB DDR3. Any help please?

    Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
    Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
    En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
    Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
    Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

  • Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not av

    I have this problem, I have PS CS6 and when I click on File> Import> Video Frames to Layers.. Next, the window that says "Initializing Video Import" starting to load and always get stuck and that's what appears: "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available". That's with aaaall the videos.
    PS: I've been trying with File> Open but that's what says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    Anybody know what happens to my photoshop? Thx!

    The relevant auxiliary service/ helper app is being blocked and thus not launching,. anything from permissions issues to security tools getting in teh way. Check your Task Manager/ Activity Monitor, turn off security stuff, run as admin.

    Photoshop 2014 (fresh install) cant open a video because: …. the dynamiclink media server is not avalable – any idea how to fix this on os x 10.5.8 ?

    i found the error!
    little snitch on os x blocks something (i dont know what exact) of adobe in the background. i have no rule defined for adobe in little snitch, so everything of adobe can go out.
    when i stop little snitch, everything works fine - photoshop opens videos without the medialink error, photoshop starts up in seconds and premiere starts without a quicktime error.
    i report the problem also to objective developement to fix this!

  • DynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.

    I am trying to load a video into photoshop cc (trial) via File > Import > Video Frames to Layers. It has worked in the past, but for some reason has seemed to have stopped working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, and I've shut down my computer and rebooted it multiple times. I have also looked into the other questions listing "dynamiclink media server" as a problem and have tried to figure out what is wrong, or how to fix it. I have not been able to understand what I should do, so I was hoping someone would know how to help me.
    I have a macbook pro, which is about 2 years old. That's all they've told me to list, so thank you if you're able to help!!!

    Were you able to solve this problem?

    but non of the solutions under the post #4, #17 either did not work or applied to me, because they were suggested for a Windows user.
    Other notes:
    Bridge is not working at all. It launches, but crashes as soon as you see the workspace.
    Hence, Mini Bridge in Photoshop is also crashing.
    I do have all codecs for the videos, that I was trying to open, though.
    It cannot be an issue, that I have not enough RAM.
    After several other problems with After Effects, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, which remain partly unsolved, this post starts form a fresh installation of the whole Adobe Suite. Even used the Cloud Cleaner Tool beforehand and made sure, all presets are from this CS6 version only.

  • Encore CS5:  The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system...

    Hi guys, I am needing assistance with this matter.  I have read up on similar threads (mostly commented on my Bill Hunt), but I fear I may be missing something.  Can anyboy please assist me?
    Here's the background:
    OS:  Windows 7 64-bit.
    Video footage format:  AVCHD 1440 X 1080 (1.333) 25fps, 48KHz
    Photoshop Images:  1440 X 1080 (1.333)
    I have been running CS4 Master collection for the past year and a half, with minimal hassles in encore (except for the early patch that needed to be downloaded and applied for some or other transcoding error in Encore CS4). 
    Right, so we bought the CS5 Master collection upgrade, and all applications are running great, except Encore.  The moment I have completed editing my hour-long video in Premiere Pro CS5, I "send to Encore" via Dynamic Link.  (This is the way I have been operating countless times in CS4.  However now, in Encore CS5, the programme opens with all the regular project settings and saving dialogues, but the the moment it looks as though Encore is going get going, it stalls and doesnt respond, forcing me to close and try again. 
    So I tried the other way around.  I restarted Encore, created a new project, in a new project folder, encore opens, and I chose to Import as "new timeline" selecting the Premiere project of choice.  This time around, i don't get a crash out of Encore, instead I get the following message:
    "The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. 
    Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem."
    So I googled the matter, and came up with Bill's response to the same problem (expect the date that it was posted was back in 2009).  I am would desperately like to know if there is a solution, a patch, a workaround of some sorts that can help me get back to my usual workflow. I am pretty screwed without encore at this present moment, and the work is piling up.  Can anybody help?
    Many Thanks,
    Matt

    I am having the same problem however I end up having hardware error "Sense code 52102"
    My video capture is similar to yours except I am using HD (Canon HNV model Legria HV40)
    The process takes a long time and I have breaks in my recording to DVD and with no sound - once it completed after 40 hours.
    I have wasted over 20 DVD's trying different things.
    OS:  Windows 7 64-bit.
    Video footage format:  HD 1440 X 1080 (1.333) 25fps, 48KHz
    Photoshop Images:  1440 X 1080 (1.333)
    I have not tried what you did buy opening up Encore and importing to new timeline , let me do that and see if I get the same message.

  • 'Profile Server Not Available' error when trying to access Profile Manager

    Hello all,
    I'm totally, totally new to OS X Server, but I have a class full of new iMac's and MacBook's that I want to be able to manage all in one go. Don't really mind about File Sharing, access from anywhere in the world etc. but I just want to be able to push updates to all of them at once as well as manage some default settings for them all.
    I've set up most of what I can see I need to do in OS X Server such as the server itself as a .local, Profile Manager, Websites, VPN, Open Directory and Software Update, but when I try to access my .local through any browser, I get the main screen, but get an error page when I try to go into Profile Manager that says 'Profile Server Not Available. Please wait a moment and try again.'
    Can anyone suggest where they think I might be going wrong or need to do? I can give more information or screenshots if needed, juts let me know. Any help super appreciated
    Yours,
    Elliot

    Hey,
    Sorry, because I'm so new I don't quite get what you mean. A little more information is I'm using my MacBook which is connected to the same WiFi network as the other Mac's. What do you mean by the FQDN?
    I'm able to type in the IP address etc. on any other of the Mac's and it loads the 'Welcome to OS X Server' page, it's just when I select Profile Manager, I get the error. Thanks for getting back though, appreciated the quick help.. and I'm still super stuck. I've got a whole day on it today ha.

  • Tried to update to IOS6 and now my ipad is trying to restore -- getting error "activation server not available" help!  Have I lost all my video files?

    I was trying to do a simple udate of the ios software.  I connected to ITunes and the Ipad screen popped up saying there was an update available.  I clicked on the update and it started updating and also there was a message saying it was backing up.  But then I got a message to click here to complete the update -- with a restore.  I did that and now my IPad is n ot woking at all -- I get the initial startup screen and a message that says "your ipad cannot be activated because the activation server is not available"  I've tried connecting to itunes and get the same message -- server not available.  The devices menu option is grayed out so I cant sync, backup,, restore nothing.... HELP! please!  I only wanted to do a simple update -- now I think I've lost all my pictures and video files -- is there a way to get them back??

    Try restarting everything and then try to sync or reactivate. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, reboot your iPad and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

    Hi,
      I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder.  "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
    The files we're shot with HD cameras.  Edited in Premiere Pro CS3.  I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
    I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash.  I tried this twice....
        Thanks in Advance

    Hi Hunt,
           Here is the skinny.  A window base PC.  footage shot with HD sony HD cameras,  Project imported to Premiere CS3.  Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality.  Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3.  After about ten files or so.  I got the error message.  Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch.  Even build a new test project with the same problem.
        Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded.  So it will be a double compression and I dont want that.  So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
       what do you think ????

  • VERTEX RFC server not available

    Hi we are using vertex on crm 6.
    we have ocnfigured vertex and when i m creating order, im getting error VERTEX RFC server not available.. in crmd_order tcode
    how to debug the vertex RFC calls? where can this error be raised. how to debug?? is there any way?

    Yes, SM59 connection is working fine.
    Basically i have checked hte SM53 use exit logs and it is showing exception thrown
    The Java user exit is throwing exception while calling RFC: RFC_CALCULATE_TAXES_DOC as tphost missing and RFC_INVALID_PARAMETER(19) in the SM53 logs.
    The java user exit: com.sap.taxes.taxCall.ExternalTaxCalculationRFC is where it is calling above RFC and when it is doing function.execute it is throwing this exception.
    i have checked the parameters.... user exit is sending all of them...
    any thoughts...
