DNS Flooding to api.themoviedb.org

[Seimann]

Description

Why does Jellyseerr flood the DNS server with 12 requests every 4 seconds? (at any time of the day)
Look at this picture. 88.417 requests in ~one week!

All 88.417 entries are = api.themoviedb.org
That's really too much

Edit: as for the tmdb api, you're literally browsing and hitting the tmdb api for various different things. Either just ignore the tmdb api on adhuardhome/pihole or idk [what you want exactly]

no, that's too many hits to "ignore" them
that should be solved

@Seimann How would you solve this?
This is how the api is build and what your jellyseerr instance is requesting / its how you use it.
What did you expect Jellyseerr to work like? Imagine every bit of movie data? Ai? Magic?

[Fallenbagel]

Like I said. It needs to be requested for all these operations. It already caches.

All the images are accessed directly as well. You can literally go to settings and turn on image proxy mode so all the images get cached, which will lower some of these requests.

Having a lot of dns requests is not an issue. There is nothing to be solved here....

the api uses a 24 second ttl. nothing jellyseerr can do about it.

@Seimann it took me this long to put together that 3 per second is more than 1 every 24 seconds. My guess is your DNS system is failing to honor the TTL properly. Jellyseerr is not the appropriate place for the fix.

[Seimann]

Thanks for your information about TTL.
I solve the problem by ignoring the client from the AdGuard statistics
