Has anyone really solved the "Media server unexpectedly quit" error?

I've seen many posts and suggested solutions, but no
definitive solution. This is a severe problem for
Final Cut Pro, and it's presently keeping me from
doing any kind of work with this software.
Thanks for any help on this!!
Greg
Greg,
This solved the problem for me.
"In Compressor, if the "Video Format" is set to "Automatic", Batch Monitor fails (with the "Media Server unexpectedly quit" error).
changing the Video Format to NTSC and the frame rate to 29.97 (but leaving the Field Dominance on Automatic), the job submits and processes fine."
Make Video Format PAL and the frame rate 25, if working with PAL sources.
Good luck,

Motion 5 "Media server unexpectedly quit" error :(

Hi,
I was using Motion and everything was working great, until yesterday, now almost everytime I try to publish a generator or export for email and other, it aborts it and gives this error message "media server unexpectedly quit". I can export as movie, and sometimes even though this happens while publishing a generator, it still gets it saved and Im able to use it in FCPX. Its impossible though to export for email.
I already trashed preferences with digital Rebellion software, removed with this same software and reinstalled. Same thing all the time.
Someone else having this issue? Anybody knows how to fix this? I would greatly appreciate any help.
Many thanks in advance.
Alex

Hi, Jim,
Yes, many thanks! Thats some progress. It makes me feel theres hope so I wont need to wipe clean my HD and start from scratch.
I did what you suggested:
1. When I sent an export to Apple Devices, in which the Share monitor opens, and fails with the message mentioned above, I get this lines in console:
4/24/13 11:28:50.955 PM Motion[307]: objc[307]: Class CMIOGraphService is implemented in both /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreMediaIO.framework/Versions/A/CoreMediaIO and /Applications/Motion.app/Contents/Frameworks/CoreMediaLion/CoreMediaIO.framewor k/Versions/Current/CoreMediaIO. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

2. When I tried to publish a generator, as usual, it aborted and gave the message error, and I got this in console:
4/24/13 11:40:27.560 PM coreservicesd[31]: SendFlattenedData, got error #268435459 (ipc/send) invalid destination port from ::mach_msg(), sending notification kLSNotifyApplicationDeath to notificationID=242
I dont know what all this above means. I will go ahead and remove Motion cache files and se about the fonts.
Many thanks.

Media Server Unexpectedly Quit...

When I select a sequence from Final Cut Pro to compress it inevitably says File error! A File already exits by that name, then compressor opens up. I choose my settings, batch monitor opens after I press submit and it immediately fails saying "Media server has unexpectedly quit." None of the presets will work and I badly need to get my roughs up on my web server...someone please help me! I have searched everywhere, reinstalled Compressor and Qmaster to no avail.

I am having the same problem on one of my 3 systems. 2 out of three work fine. BUT the one that HAS the original media on it uses (a ref move from FCP) gives me the "media server...quit" error. If i make a self contained movie it still gives me an error. If I put the self contained movie on another box, I works fine. Not sure what could be causing the problem. the systems are nearly identical.

There has been a lot of that lately, try following the instructions of tt2 in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822086 to fix it.

Has anyone really understood the JSF LifeCycle

I have created my own phase listener :
public class MyPhaseListner implements PhaseListener {
public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent evt) {
System.out.println("EXITING : " + evt.getPhaseId());
public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent evt) {
System.out.println("ENTERING : " + evt.getPhaseId());
public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
return PhaseId.ANY_PHASE;
When i display my page first time I am getting the following output :
ENTERING : RESTORE_VIEW 1
EXITING : RESTORE_VIEW 1
ENTERING : RENDER_RESPONSE 6
Inside Constructor
Managed Bean Created.......
Thank you !!!!
EXITING : RENDER_RESPONSE 6
ENTERING : RESTORE_VIEW 1
EXITING : RESTORE_VIEW 1
ENTERING : RENDER_RESPONSE 6

ENTERING : RESTORE_VIEW 1
EXITING : RESTORE_VIEW 1
ENTERING : RENDER_RESPONSE 6
EXITING : RENDER_RESPONSE 6
EXITING : RENDER_RESPONSE 6
As per my knowledge I can understand first 4 statements(before "*****") outputted.
An empty view is created and then render response phase is reached skipping all intermediate steps being the first request to JSF page.
However I can not understand further calls made by JSF lifecycle.
Can anyone elaborate me more on this?
Also I am very much interested in some strange number displayed after every phaseId !!!!!

Hi Sergy !
Thanks for your reply.!!!!
Well actually I have some style-sheets and images on my page.
I think JSF even treats these elements to be a seapare entity.
So all other statements were for these elements.
Well I have modified my phase Listener to reflect the view Id as well.
Below is the class...if anyone is interested !!!
package util;
import javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseEvent;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseId;
import javax.faces.event.PhaseListener;
public class MyPhaseListner implements PhaseListener {
     public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent evt) {
     UIViewRoot root = evt.getFacesContext().getViewRoot();
     if(root == null){
          System.out.println("EXITING : " + evt.getPhaseId());
     }else{
          System.out.println("EXITING : " + evt.getPhaseId() + root.getViewId());
     public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent evt) {
          UIViewRoot root = evt.getFacesContext().getViewRoot();
          if(root != null){
               System.out.println("ENTERING : " + evt.getPhaseId() + root.getViewId());
          }else{
               System.out.println("ENTERING : " + evt.getPhaseId());
     public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
          return PhaseId.ANY_PHASE;
}

Has anyone really fixed the windows to ipod comunication problem?

I have tried all of the suggestions I see here and now I sit here in front of a 300.00 dollar calender. I tried the 5 R,s, none worked. I tried uninstalling and re installing and still nothing. I havent tried downloading any more Apple or Mac software because I dont trust it now. Is there some whre I havent looked yet, please help I.m losing interest in the big ipod phenomenon.

Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem. Here are various ‘generic’ solutions that you can try in an effort to correct your problem. One should work. These are listed in simplest to more involved order (usually).
First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
Also See:
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes“Strange iPod Behavior within Windows”
If you are getting a ‘Missing Drivers’ message, try this:
1. Go to http://www.driverguide.com and register (free)
2. Download ‘usbstor.sys’ & ‘usbstor.inf’ to your PC and place them in your i386 Folder
3. Update both drivers by selecting the two files you just downloaded
4. Reboot computer
5. Open iTunes and then connect you iPod
If all the above fails, you may have a Virus, Malware or SpyWare problem.
If you do find that your Device Manager is blank, you should probably check up on this issue first: No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It
There have been some successes using the information in this post below. WARNING: I have absolutely no clue to what this download file does, and introducing it into your PC environment is risky. Some Forum posters have experienced less than benign results. Read the thread through and see the tips below. Proceed at you own risk: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1222335#1222335
The above tool looks like it removes (or it's supposed to remove) Apropos adware. Apropos is a known cause of this problem: iPod not recognized and Windows Device Manager is empty
... but other adware using the ContextPlus engine has also been known to cause similar effects.

Has anyone successfully solved the distorted playback (itune

Once upon a time, iTunes worked great! Music played without
any distortion. Now, a song will play for a minute or so then the sound breaks up, distortion etc. If I pause the song and click the play icon, it plays a little longer then
repeats the distortion and chopped sound. I've tried upgrading to the latest software and still the problem exists. Tried a few things mentioned on the forum and still the same results. Any help is much appreciated. BTW:
Playing the songs from the iPod is perfect. Laptop is a Pentium 4 with lots of space, speed and room for growth.

I would bet it was LR. LR print settings are confusing but you should have no problem with PS. However, LR will do what you want without any add-ins like EPP. How versed are you in the use of LR? You probably need to bone up on how to set it up to print. Are you going to 'Page Setup' on the left side of the screen first? You should.
Moderately capable with LR. However, haven't printed that much. I remember having some trouble with
it when I last tried.
I'll mess with it in the next couple of days and see how it goes. I'll also try to read up on it at the same time.
Thanks.

Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

A system assertion check has failed. Check the SQL Server error log for details. Typically, an assertion failure is caused by a software bug or data corruption. To check for database corruption, consider running DBCC CHECKDB. If you agreed to send dumps to
Microsoft during setup, a mini dump will be sent to Microsoft. An update might be available from Microsoft in the latest Service Pack or in a QFE from Technical Support.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.

If you check your sql server error log folder you will see dump files created. You need to send those dump files to Microsoft for inspection because outside of microsoft product support the symbols for reading the dumps are not available without which it
wont be easy to find the issue.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028589
In the meantime check if you are on the latest version of Service Pack and if not apply the latest service pack. Majority of these kind of assertions are bugs which are solved in Service Packs/Cumulative Updates.

Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work?

Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work? I've been trying for about 8 hours, absolutely no success. I have followed the iMovie Help instructions and the examples on the internet, over and over again. I've tried every imaginable variation on the instructions. Nothing from my green movie shows up. The green in my video is pure green - 100% green, 0% red and 0% blue. Yet the non-green images in the video aren't getting displayed at all. Several other people have mentioned a similar problem on these forums and they are all "unanswered". Is that because this is an unsolvable problem? Is it an iMovie bug? Sigh. I'm a big fan of Apple but stuff like this gives them a bad name.

After several more hours of diagnosis I have identified some conditions which can make Green Screen slightly work (but not much). The condition is as follows. The green screen clip must be carefully dropped at the beginning of a video clip, such that at least the first two seconds of the green screen clip (no less, but no more or the clip will become attached to the previous clip and then it's broken again) are displayed over the PREVIOUS video clip. But the green screen will not work on the previous clip, only on the second clip. So you will always lose the first two seconds of the green screen video. It took me a lot of experimenting to discover this anomaly.
Clearly this is a bug, but since not all users on the internet experience this bug, (some online videos shows that Green Screen actually works as advertised) it's most likely related to the video card driver. My video card is an ATI 4870. If you have such a card, there's probably no hope that you can get this feature to work unless Apple fixes the driver or possibly the iMovie application, or you use my tricky workaround.

Has anyone tried changing the drummer on a drummer part that has already been placed into a track stack?

Has anyone tried changing the drummer on a drummer part that has already been placed into a track stack?
I find that if I do that, the parts in the stack all get merged together with no way to expand them (ie the triangle you would click on to expand the stack disappears).
I believe this is a bug, and wonder if anyone else has encountered it?
