MCE Remote – broken with latest W10 update?

Hi all, I don't mean to post a thread on something I know there's already tons of guides about. Thing is, I had my remote configured and working just fine since 2011. I've included as an attachment the RegEdit file I used way back when. Essentially...

MySQL idle bandwidth usage

@ 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,
