/livetv/sessions shows invactive transcoding sessions

Plex Media Server

Continuing the discussion from /livetv/sessions returns MediaContainer size of 131 when idle:

This issue has cropped up again for me. I am running PMS 1.23.2.4656 and an update for 1.23.3.4692 is available. plexupdate reports that PMS is in use, and this is because the /livetv/sessions endpoint has one or more <Video> elements. Here is what my PMS currently shows for /livetv/sessions:

These look like some sort of scanner/transcoder activity on the server itself. I don’t have any users that were watching anything at 3AM or 7:30AM.
