@ home I host my own MySQL server to sync all my kodi instances.
Ontop of that I have a RPi2 that I setup to VPN into my home, I take that with me when I go away for work (I use a tablet data plan for internet)
The issue I notice is when I configure the remote box to use my home MySQL instance the idle bandwidth of remote box is ~1GB/day, then I remove the mysql info (in advancedsettings) the idle usage is a few MBs/day?
I’m not talking about watching anything, this is just the idle communication kodi has with its MySQL instance. I know I’m using kodi/SQL in a way that was not intended, but I’m wondering is there any configuration or control that I can applied to reduce that amount of idle bandwidth chatter?
1GB is a chuck of info, I’m guessing it has something to do with the poster images and such?
Thanks,
