Error issuing curl_easy_perform(handle): 7 flooding my logs

I keep seeing the error below in my logs. That device, .16, is a thermostat. Maybe at some point, there was something that connected to Plex, like my HDHR, but not anymore. How can I get rid of it? I deleted the HDHR device and added it again, but didn’t change anything.

I get the same thing. I run an iptv emulator on another machine and plex recognizes it as a HDHomeRun (Even though I don’t have live tv setup on plex).
I’m guessing for whatever reason plex sees your device as a potential tv source.
