Error Message in Lightroom 5.7 in slideshow module: "dynamiclinkmediaserver has encountered an error."
I'm working in Lightroom 5.7 on an iMac with Yosemite iOS installed. When I go to create a slideshow from a collection of images, I'm getting the following error:
dynamiclinkmediaserver has encountered an error.
This appears to cause a subsequent issue - when I go to select an itunes track to play as part of the slideshow (.m4a) the track isn't recognised & I have the error " the selected file is not a valid music file". The music file doesn't appear to be an issue - I can easily load it into my laptop (using LR4) & it will play as part of the slideshow.
Not really sure to go with this issue - has anyone got any ideas?
Would really appreciate some assistance
Sarah
Similar issues appear to be listed here: LR5: playing and importing video (e.g. *.mov) not working: DynamicLinkMediaServer not working & here: dynamiclinkmediaserver has encountered an error. message when dealing with any video in LR5, anyone have any suggestions?
I'm Running LR5.7, with Yosemite 10.10.1. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling lightroom & checking my admin permissions but am at a total loss.

Dynamiclinkmediaserver has encountered an error while importing video
I deinstalled everything adobe, ran the cleaner tool, cleaned the registry, trashed preferences... re-installed PhotoshopCC
Still this error pops up everytime I try to import a video, I found posts about it dating from LR4.1 with not a single thread leading to a solution.
SO, how do I fix this anoying issue that prevent me from doing with photoshop what I bought photoshop for (cinemagraph gif).
complete error text is:

I don't know how to fix the problem in a proper fashion, which probably involves tweaking the video subsystem of your computer, since Lr is essentially tapping it for all that is video (assuming the mov files really should be importable, but aren't).
That said, a possible work-around for the mean time is to use a a script called
'Import Any Video'
free by me downloadable here:
http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrScripts
it transcodes mov files into mp4 format which Lr tends to be happier with - dunno if it'll work for you.
Good luck,

BUG: Cannot import video - dynamiclinkmediaserver has encountered an error
I'm receiving this error in LR4.1 RC. I was also receiving it when LR4.0 was installed. It's on a mac.
[/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/DynamicLinkMediaServer1/main/shared/adobe/MediaCore/ASL/Foundat ion/Make/Mac/../../Src/DirectoryRegistry.cpp-283]
How do I fix this?
I've tried to import video content from my 5d mark II and it will not import video.If it works in a different user acoutn, and you don't want to change accounts, the question really becomes, what is different between the two accounts. The only two differences, as far as Adobe and Lightroom are concerned, are the application preferences and the catalog.
The preference files store the settings for the program. These files are created on first launch and are updated each time you close the application with the current state of the settings. Each user account has their own copy of these files. If you delete these files, then on next launch a new default set of files are created. When you create a new user account and lauch Lightroom, a new default set of these files is created for this account. If you delete these files on your main account, then on the next launch of Lightroom, a new set will be created. So as far as these files are concerned, Lightroom will be the same on both user accounts.
The catalog stores information of the images you work with in Lightroom. Each user account also gets it's own catalog, which is created on first launch as well. If you create a new catalog on your main account, then this is another way you can force Lightroom to be the same on both accounts.
If making the preferences and the catalog the same on both accounts does not fix the behavior, this mean that the cause of the problem is coming from outside of Lightroom itself. The two main categories of where things could be going wrong from this point is third-party applications and permissions.
Third-party applications, just like Lightroom itself, can have settings that are unique, causing them to behave differently between different user accounts. These different behaviors can mean that on one account they behave in such a way as to interfere with another application like Lightroom. We don't know of any program in particular that could be causing this behavior, nor what setting within such an application would be the root cause. In cases like these it is simply best to shut everything off and test Lightroom in a clean enviorment (similar to testing Lightroom in a new user account).
Every file and folder on your computer has a set of permissions for what individual users and groups of users (and the applications being run by those users) are allowed to do, such as reading, writting, or deleting. It is possible that there is a difference between the permissions for your regular user account and the new user account (which gets default settings for all files and folders) that restricts Lightroom's ability to use/read files. -

If your Lightroom 6 is crashing in the Slideshow module, check the SAMPLE RATE of your music track
After spending over 2 hours with an Adobe technician who had control over my Windows 7 machine, I've learned something that I don't think Adobe knows yet... I upgraded from LR 5.7 to LR 6 (not CC) and began having issues when I was working in the Slideshow module. When trying to add a music track, Lightroom would crash ("unexpectedly quit"). I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. I turned off the GPU since a fair amount of chatter on the forum related to that, but it didn't change anything.
So I finally waited patiently for the Adobe Chat line to finally get a tech to respond...and he was exceptionally detailed and methodical in his approach to diagnosing my issues. I could follow on my screen as he did a variety of things that indicated he understood what he was doing. Unfortunately he got to a point where he thought (as did I) that he had found the problem/solution...which he thought was related to the bit rate. He concluded that music with a Variable Bit Rate (VBR) as opposed to a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) was causing the problem. Also unfortunate was that this "discovery" was near the 2-1/2 hour mark and we did not apply the scientific method to property determine if we had narrowed down to cause/effect.
Based on my further analysis, he was close, but not right on. It isn't the BIT rate mode that is causing the crash, but rather the SAMPLE rate. Turns out that the vast majority of songs in my iTunes library have a sample rate of 44.100 kHz--and those work just fine. However, I have about 15 songs, mostly downloaded as free background music from the YouTube creation library, that have a sample rate of 48.000 kHz--every single one of those cause my LR6 to crash.
If you're having a problem with Lightroom crashing in the Slideshow module, check the SAMPLE RATE of your music track.If you're on Windows, check out a free program called Audacity--it's fantastic. With Audacity the process of converting a 48.000 kHz to 44.100 kHz is as simply as opening, changing the sample rate, and then exporting again, as an MP3.

This error pops ups after I have mozilla loaded for a few minutes.
I tried installing (again) Premier Elements this morning after starting up my Win 7 PC. I did install some Windows (optional) updates and deleted several files suggested in "troubleshoot" when I got the same error mesage. The files/folders I deleteed before trying the install again are Cache, PDAppFlex.swf, and PDAppFlex-app.xml.
This lastest installation attempt resulted in the name error message I have gotten a dozen times, "The installation has encountered an error while installing. Please restart system and try again". The hangup always occurrs around the same spot while installing shared technologies. Maybe this info helps? -
I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them. Has anyone had a similar problem….thanks
If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

Every time I open lightroom I get a pop up message saying "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and it closes. Ive already tried reinstalling, nothing seems to work. Help please!
Open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata, and you need to delete that folder. After you do that, Lightroom should start normally and will create a new preview cache.

Squirrel, This problem occurs after having selected an existing JPEG file when trying to create a new catalog, instead of entering the name of a new catalog. To recover, rename the LR preferences file and restart LR. Name and location of the LR preferences file can be found here. Beat

Regarding Lightroom Slideshow module: When I click on the preview button I get the following error: An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt at index a nil value. This occurs with any group of images I select in my catalog.
Jeannine,
If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Hope this helps a bit,

Slideshow Module Inaccessible in Lightroom 4.3
Since updating to Lightroom 4.3, I cannot access the Slideshow module. Each time I try, I receive the following message:
"An error occurred when attempting to change modules."
I have researched the problem and been offered suggestions to solve the problem. I have followed instructions to resolve the issue including:
replacing the preferences file (com.adobe.Lightroom[VERSION#].plist) and
deleting my user created slideshow templates
The problem still persists. Does anyone know of a solution beyond what’s stated here?I am running OS 10.8.2 with LR 4.3 and I discovered this problem just the other day. I have reinstalled LR 4.3, temporarily moved all homemade slideshow presets, moved all preferences (as if they were deleted) and the problem persisted. So I tried disconnecting my second monitor (I have a 27" iMac with my second monitor being the 30" Cinema Display.) I got out of lightroom and restarted with the Cinema Display disconnected and the slideshow module worked just fine. I quit Lightroom again and reconnected my monitor and restarted the program and the slideshow module did not work. So for my situation and testing, the problem with the slideshow module exists while having the second monitor connected.

Lightroom 4 crashes when trying to open the slideshow module. I spent over three hours with both Adobe and Apple tech support and we know it is a permission issue but have not been able to get it solved. It started with the last upgrade to 10.8
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
Hi-
I got a new PC laptop, retrieved all old HD contents from my external HD, installed LR 5.6 (5.4 on previous PC) and when I tried to open up my old Lightroom catalog it has an error saying "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to this photo". I tried to open the catalog straight from my external HD with the same error message. I've read about four billion forum threads to try to figure it out- files do not seem to be missing as most threads indicate. The other threads suggest there is a corruption with the file, but I don't THINK that is the case. Are there any other suggestions? If the file is corrupted, how do I find out for sure? Have I lost all my edits??
Thanks for your help and time!

http://www.pbase.com/brahm/image/80870983Here is a snippet from a discussion on another forum that includes a quote from Jeff Schewe, whom I consider to be a very good source for reliable information:
Look, I'll make it REAL simple...
TIFF = Good
PSD = Bad
PSD is now a bastardized file format that is NOT a good idea to use. Even the Photoshop engineers will tell you that PSD is no longer the Photoshop "native" file format. It has no advantages and many disadvantages over TIFF.
TIFF is publicly documented, PSD is not. That makes TIFF a preferred file format for the long term conservation of digital files.
And, let me be blunt, anybody who thinks PSD is "better" than TIFF is ignorant of the facts. If Adobewould let them, the Photoshop engineers would tell you to quit using PSD.
