Version 1.20.1.3252

I’ve seen others asking this same question but never an answer…

Why is plexmediaserver constantly uploading data? Sometimes it’s 1 steam, sometime 2. Upwards of 120Kbytes/sec. Server shows no active streams. My upload/download meter is showing nearly 2 gigabytes uploaded today, random IP addresses all the time

This is a recently fresh windows install, within the last month or so, fully patched. Not enjoying this.
