Stopping and Starting Media Indexer on a Mac OS X System
In an Interplay environment, if your Avid editing application cannot connect to the Media
Indexer running on your system the application displays the following message when it starts:
“Could not connect to the Media Indexer. Verify the health of the Media Indexer service.” Failure
to connect to the Media Indexer prevents the application from finding the online media for your
project. To correct this problem, you need to stop and then restart the Media Indexer service.
For Interplay Sphere users, you need to restart the Media Indexer service when the IP address of
your system changes — for example, when you switch from an Ethernet connection to a wireless
(Wi-Fi or 4G) connection.
