QTKitServer-(326) QuickLook Satellite-general

It appears the latest ML update changed the program that searches for movie files from qtkitserver to qtkittrustedmoviesservice. So the same problem with multiple processes endlessly sucking up CPU and getting stuck on some avi or flv files started again.

My workaround was to edit this new file:

sudo vi com.apple.qtkittrustedmoviesservice.sb

and the same old file:

sudo vi com.apple.qtkitserver.sb

though not sure if the latter edit is necessary. Or use nano or some other editor if not familiar with vi commands.

Then add the following two lines to the end of each file:

(deny file-read* (regex #"^.*\.flv$"))

(deny file-read* (regex #"^.*\.avi$"))

How annoying this problem keeps perpetuating itself across multiple generations of OS X. How would an ordinary user ever be expected to fix a problem like this?

I replied based on the email alert from Apple support before reading that you deleted the DrafSight QL plugin. That was exactly my problem. Looks like they need to sort this out.

So far it seems to have been the problem. I just installed this version of DraftSight, and that's when the issue started.

Same thing here. I deleted the QuickLook generator from the above folder and immediately my issues were solved. Thanks for the pointer!

Me too!

Thanks

Draftsight plug-in!!!!

Thank you so much. This was driving me to distraction/nuts/crazy. Considered using my pro as a frisbee.

Thanks.

Ahh yes... the same here.

Draftsight...

Only I just deleted the whole program. 😉

Someone needs to mark this as being the post that solved the issue.
