What the heck is a NDSPCShowServer?

I know the feeling! It may sound a little sick, but seeing that others are having the same problem can be somewhat comforting.

ahhh. yup! I noticed my iMac was slow to sleep as well. right after I installed the DirectTV Everywhere app as well! I also found that Google Chrome is adding another 30 seconds before sleep mode if it is open. (I know, I know, I hate Chrome being on my MAC but the wife likes it eerrr.) I found on Cnet that if you enter, pmset -g log, in terminal you can see what is taking up time during the sleep process. that showserv thing was timeing out at 30000 Ms or 30 seconds and Google Chrome if left open also times out at 30 seconds.... so, thats one minute! It sure felt like it was taking 1 minute to sleep.

Thank you while I don't have an iMAC this helped me on my mac issue. They need to fix this issue

Hey Haylie -- glad to help. I imagine it will work for any recent versions of OSX. (I probably should've listed my specs along with the fix/workaround. So just for posterity: 15" MacBookPro / 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / OS X v10.6.8.)

Just curious, was your issue caused by installing the DirecTv Everywhere app too -- or was it something else?

DirecTv has been advertising the heck out of that thing the last couple weeks. I get queasy flashbacks of my ordeal every time I hear it.

Thanks! Glad I found this post. I too fell victim to downloading the DirecTV Everywhere app yesterday and the probelm has been driving me crazy. Among other things I tried was searching unsuccessfully in the Applications folder to find the NDSPCShowServer.

Directv Everywhere app works fine on iPad, but when I tried to install on iMac it was one giant headache. Just like others have mentioned I got stuck in NDSPCShowServer ****. I'll stick with Slingbox on my desktop and notebooks.

This solved the problem for me. I just deleted the two items in the NDSPCShowServer library folder.

Here's what worked for me to uninstall NDSPCShowServer.DTV. Run Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. Then change directory to NDSPCShowServer.DTV (without the quotes) "cd Library/NDSPCShowServer.DTV/" . Here you will see a bash script file called uninstall.command. Now enter "source uninstall.command". This seems to have entirely removed the software.

Cheers,

Jack

Thanks so much. That worked!

Also helps to know that you can access the Library from which to delete these files by going to Finder, then Go and then hold down the option key and Library will appear in the pick list. Once in Library, you will find the files you need to delete.

Now if only DirecTV would know this. I talked with them today and they knew nothing about this problem and their troubleshooting was a Google search. Very polite and professional but pathetic too.

I'm having the same problem. Except, I cannot find the NDSPC folder to delete. I've tried searching for it, but it is not in my user library. Can someone help please?

I didn't find all of the files that gatorfantom mentioned here to solve the problem:

user > Library > Internet Plugins > PlayerPlugin.bundle

user > Library > LaunchAgents > com.nds.pcshow.plist

user > Library > LaunchAgents > com.nds.pcshow.uninstall.plist

user > Library > NDSPCShowServer > NDSPCShowServer.bundle

user > Library > NDSPCShowServer > uninstall.command

but I did find the last two using the Finder, then Go and then hold down the option key and Library will appear in the pick list. I realize you said you didn't find anything in Library, but I had a hard time until discovering the option key mentioned here. Good luck.

I have read this thread over and over again, but I cannot find the Library Folder under User. This darn window repeatedly pops up and won't go away unless I turn off my firewall, even if I hit allow or deny, it just keeps coming up.

I know this thread is for Snow Leopard, I am running Yosemite, PLEASE HELP I cannot have my firewall off. Thank you in advance!

I have Yosemite and found it via...press Finder, then press Go and while the Go drop down appears also hold down the option key and Library will appear in the pick list. Other than that, not sure what you can do.

The option key worked. Thank you so much!

Thank you!
