Yes, it's a Linux box. Root access is easy, I can already reach its entire file system as root. The question is knowing exactly what to do in its file system to accomplish what I'm looking for. I have no idea where to look for where this "DS Video" app configures that information, nor any idea how to modify it so that it stops trying to retrieve that information. And of course, doing it in such a way as to not damage the other features of DS Video.

Example: I could maybe block DS Video from reaching the internet at all. Though that would stop it from trying to find title matches on IMDB, that would also prevent it from being able to stream the video library to my smartphone while I'm on the road (one of the features of this thing).
