Battery Status - Mediaserver

[cdfjr1975]

I've been trying to test battery usage on my phone so I've been running Pandora today and I received these stats when I view battery use:

5hrs 40 minutes @ 40%
Pandora 36%
Mediaserver 36%
Display 12%
Android OS 5%
Phone Idle 5%
Call Stand by 4%

I have Smart actions for woek which have disabled gps, background sync and wifi. I believe I need Cell Data for Pandora to work, gues I could have checked that today, but if I'm not on Cell or WiFi I can;t imagine I would be getting Pandora.

I can't seem to figure out what Mediaserver is and why it's running so much battery. Does anyone know what this is or how I can disable or limit iut's use?

Sorry if this has been addressed already, I searched but was unable to loacte a post which seemed to fit my question.

Do you have motocast running, or use motocast at all....cause its essentially a media server....

I do have Motocast but not streaming from there. Is there a way to disable so I can test if that's causing drain ?

Thanks for the help
