Dialog Box about kqueue and too many files

Post by alex.shultz »

I am using a Mac mini M1 with Monterey with DoM 2.14.56

I keep getting a dialog box that has only the message "kqueue: Too many files open" and an "OK" button. I don't know what it means or what to do about it.

Any ideas for me?

I've attached a screen shot of the dialog box.

Does it happen at any particular time? When you have just started, the program, or after an encode?

I have only noticed on an encode that I have had to resume. It seems to be about 2/3 of the way through whole thing when it gives the message.

I was able to finish that encode after I closed the dialog. I ran the DCP through the player and it verified successfully.

I was mostly curious about it I should just power through when I see something like that or if I should panic and reboot and try things from a fresh restart. Or maybe there is some option in between those two...

I have not done any other encodes since then to see if it reappears. I should be doing one soon and I'll report back here if I see it again.
