Lightroom Classic: dynamiclinkmediaserver hogs processor even when no Adobe apps running

Kevan, 

What is your Operating System Version?

Can you give me figures on how much processor it is using - or even better a screen capture?

I have been using Lightroom Classic CC for several hours, and dynamiclinkmediaserver was not running. As soon as I quit Lightroom it starts to run! How can you explain that?

I have just received the most absurd email from Adobe:

"You contacted us on 5/17/2018 1:26 PM. We have resolved your Performance issue and are closing case number ADB-2175542-K6W5."

a) Nobody has resolved my issue
b) It is SO DIFFICULT to actually find the case in question
c) When I did finally discover how to find it, there was no way of commenting or reopening it.

Needless to say, I would still like feedback about my issue.

Thanks

Thanks for the screenshot. I have forwarded to the Dev team for comment. Stand by. 

Thanks Rikk

I have the exact same problem, no adobe apps running (LR CC, LR CC C) still medialinkserver is 100%  of my cpu and the fan is running like crazy. What should I turn off? And how do I (or you) fix this? I have a macbook pro touch bar 2016, and the latest version of both LR apps. 

And so, Rikk Flohr? 8 months, and no response? I have the same problem and I'm close to throwing the entire Adobe ensemble of resource hogs off my machine.

Same problem here.  After running an Adobe app I have to force quit the dynamiclinkmediaserver manually to keep it from consuming 100% of a CPU.

Same issue here, ate up 447 hours on my imac. Pretty close to ditching adobe software as well. WTH, a year goes by and this is still an issue? 

Same.  Just moved back to Lightroom Classic after a couple of years away.  Sad to see this.

MacOS 10.14.6

I have the same problem.  Everytime I quite Lightroom Classic, dynamiclinkmediaserver runs up to 99% and stays there until I kill it.  I am running macOS 10.14.6 on a late 2012 MacBookPro with LR Classic 8.4.1.  It has done this for at least the last year.

I am having the same issue. Any solutions yet? 

same happening on windows 10 latest build. Im tired of lightroom. i cannot do simple tasks as import pictures/videos (sync folder) because dynamiclinkmediaserver grows up with no limit and lightroom never get back the control.

I'm having the same problem running Lightroom classic. Good thing I'm running the trial version, now I know I don't want to spend money on software that has had this problem for years without a fix.

Same problem here. Dynamiclinkmediaserver taking all cpu's and setting my fans ablaze even though I have no Adobe apps running. All the latest versions, so MacOS 10.15.7, LR Classic 9.4.

 

I have killed it and now my fans go back to normal (=quiet) mode.

 

Hello Adobe?????
