Fix: VTDecoderXPCService using too much resources in activity monitor and opening Crash Reporter
Hi
i got some good news! It seems that i found the reason for the VTDecoderXPCService problem on my Mac resulting in using to much resources on my Mac Pro.
I did read the posting here on the forum, but couldn't find a solution to the problem.
So i did research a lot the last days and today i found the the reason why VTDecoderXPCService are using so much resources on my Mac.
I always dissable Spotlight in the commandline to prevent Spotlight to do indexing on my Mac Pro, because i also use my Mac for audio & Video editing to.
Today i saw a crashreport popping up in activity monitor and i did notice that VTDecoderXPCService in activity monitor was suddenly using much less resources.
After some research i found the solution! This is for people who have disabled spotlight at some time.
You must go to Terminal and enter the following commands, one after each other.
sudo mdutil -i off /
sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight*
sudo mdutil -i on /
(If you see the following message:
mdutil[1766:78805] Metadata.framework [Error]: mdsCopyStorePaths failed: (268435459) (ipc/send) invalid destination port
Spotlight server is disabled.
when you enter the command in terminal, just ignore it and enter the above commands, after each other and then reboot! Important!)
Your Mac will now "Kick Ass". SS are now only taking up 82% instead of 300% with 85% idle!!! Have Fun! No more need for a new Mac!
