NSA325 making strange DNS requests to akas.imdb.com during bootup, why?

I don’t have media server or any special packages installed but I noticed in my pi-hole DNS logs that my NSA 325 made a large quantity (2481) of requests to akas.imdb.com after its most recent reboot.
I can see in the DNS logs it requested the following in this order at bootup.
API.flckr.com ( this service is also disabled)
api-my cloud.zyxel.com
downloads.zyxel.nas-central.org
ftp2.zyxel.com
downloads.zyxel.nas-central.org Again
time.stdtime.gov.tw
Then the 2481 requests to akas.imdb.com .
There is nothing in the Zyxel logs to indicate what it is doing.
Any ideas how I can find out what is making the requests and why?
my guess is it’s the Broadcatching feature. But I do not have the download service enabled,I have never used it nor do I have anything in the list.

It's caused by some python script:

On my 325 there are 2 python scripts normally running, cdsdaemon.pyc and fileye.pyc. In the comments of 'Disable unneeded daemons' in the Tweaks package, this is written about them:cdsdaemon.pyc: Python script. Has something to do with Twonky, but is ZyXEL specific. According to strings it is responsible for maintaining a database. On some boxes it keeps the disks awake, or wakes them up frequently, even if Twonky is disabled.fileye.pyc: Python script. Has something to do with various uploaders, flicker, ftp, google drive. Allocates lots of memory.0
