Media Browser Server Error Messages in Logs + Data Downloads

[Willo 0]

HI Guys,

 

So far so good, Media Browser 3 works a treat I'll definitely be contributing once I get time after ironing out some bugs/annoyances.

 

This thread relates to Media Browser Server Version 3.0.5115.35703

 

So for this thread just need a bit more info on a couple of observations.

 

First:

 

In my logs I'm getting error messages;

2014-01-21 17:49:33.1740, Error, ProviderManager, FanArtArtistProvider failed refreshing "Music Artisit Name"  \\Serverpath\Artist
 Access to the path ' \\Serverpath\Artist\fanart.jpg' is denied.
 System.UnauthorizedAccessException

 

I'm not sure why it is trying to do here, I have selected the option of storing the images etc.. away from where the content is stored???  Also the account I use for the Media Browser service has permissions at this network path.

 

Secondly,

Also wondering what the typical metadata size is, I have a Gig of the stuff and wondering if these IP addresses are correct for your providers as the are consistently coming up in the logs.  I looked up an IP address and it may have been a cloud provider but some of the websites hosted looked a little "sus".

 

Image                                                  PID    Address 
MediaBrowser.ServerApplication.exe 5292 108.162.198.82 or

                                                                      108.162.199.82

 

Image PID Address
MediaBrowser.ServerApplication.exe 5292 a125-56.204-112.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com 

 

Are these the correct metadata sources???

 

Cheers

Just looked up assets.fanart.tv which seems to account for those IP addresses.  It's still downloading a truckload of data and wondering why I'm getting those errors?

 

Cheers and thank you

Do you use FlexRaid as your file server?

The files are actually on a QNAP TS-439 pro which is an Intel atom based NAS. The NAS is joined to the domain and the permissions are set.

 

The MB3 server and MB classic client sits on a virtual Windows 8.1 machine on ESXi 5.5. When I'm streaming I'm hitting around 8-14% cpu utilisation.

Hi There,

 

Guys, can I please get some help.  It appears I'm downloading an absolute crapload of data from the two IP addresses above.  I usually only download around 75GB a month (here in Aust we are on plans with a cap).  This month I'm downloading 4 times that and looking at my Firewall logs, it's from those two addresses.

 

I have MB Trailer plugin installed, maybe that one??

 

Cheers

just go into the metadata configuration and disable images you dont want

Thanks,

 

What do you mean disable the ones I don't want?

 

Is around 150GB in meta data normal?

 

Are they the correct ip addresses where the meta data comes from and I don't have malware?

 

Cheers

no that's not normal, but we don't know yet that it was all downloaded by MBS. So you probably want to find out where in your hard drive those 150GB are first
