Description Krasi 2018-03-02 22:42:31 UTC 
additional multimedia  codec required
   an application is requesting additional multimedia codecs

sometimes I get this popup message and there is no way to close it as it keeps popping up and plasmashell starts eating up all the memory and high CPU usage

the only fix is a restart.

Linux lenovo-p50 4.14.14-300.fc27.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 19 13:19:54 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I think it set to use x11


The same happens under KDE and Gnome

very similar to this bug

GNOME no longer uses notification-daemon; on which desktop(s) are you seeing this?
Comment 2 Krasi 2018-03-03 09:36:19 UTC

high mem and cpu load

after this message the cpu and mem starts growing until I restart the laptop
Comment 5 Yaakov Selkowitz 2018-03-04 04:04:24 UTC 
This has nothing to do with notification-daemon, as it wouldn't be used in either GNOME nor KDE Plasma desktops.  You will need to reassign this to the component providing the application causing this notification.

ok thanks

any idea how to find out which this component is?
