Steinberg Media Bay Server memory usage

Since updating to Nuendo 14 I am receiving random spikes in memory usage by “Steinberg Media Bay Server”. Currently (Mac OS) Activity Monitor is reporting that the program is using 84gigs of memory and I have just quit Nuendo. Obviously I can quit this in Activity Monitor, just wondering if anyone else is seeing this behavior? Thanks!

With the 100,000 result entries set, My MediaBayServer is only taking up 8.8MEG . If you’re sure that the actual memory is 84gig, then something is definitely up. I would start over by deleting the mediabay index for N14 and letting it rebuilt it, but I’ll leave that up to you.

Good idea, thanks!

If you have time, let us know if that worked :). I’m curious. 84gig is like MASSIVE.

Deleted old instances and rescanned, will report back if it happens again.
