Hi;

In lieu of other answers ;)

I think if you look in the backend's log, you'll find a line
containing this, very close to startup:

      ... Performing Artwork Refresh: /usr/bin/mythmetadatalookup --refresh-all-artwork

In my case, I like it and didn't think twice about
trying to stop it from running.

Part of the 0.27 Housekeeping rewrite. Brings up
another point, if users had a cron job to do this,
then they're no longer required.

In the mean time, how 'bout moving mythmetadatalookup
to some other name and then linking /bin/true to it?

That's the why & stop questions, as to the third question,
I don't know of a 'legal' way to remove the data.
