I think my mediaanalysisd problem has been fixed in macOS 26. After I upgraded yesterday I removed all exceptions from Spotlight preferences and let Spotlight and friends settle down. Everything has been delightfully quiet since then.

The unified log still contains a couple of thousand occurrences of “Embedding version: 0 not supported, skip embedding publishing”, but mediaanalysisd no longer seems to continually hit the same files and throw the same errors.

Yay?

A round-up of my tanty about this:

1. mediaanalysisd has gone rogue
2. mediaanalysisd continues to piss me off
3. I don’t like macOS as much as I used to
4. I ordered a ThinkPad
5. Does macOS 15.6 fix mediaanalysisd?
6. Keeping macOS logs private from who?
7. I need to get serious about leaving macOS
