To add some perspective to the report, what the unity-scope-video-remote package does is getting a list of video sources on a server managed by Canonical: http://videosearch.ubuntu.com/v0/sources These video sources are then displayed in the filters of the Videos lens.
When you activate one of these filters and search the video lens, it queries the server again: http://videosearch.ubuntu.com/v0/search?q=robots&sources=TED+Talks Currently, the simple way of disabling it is to remove the package, you obviously won't have the online video search in the lens anymore, but it shouldn't affect anything else. ** Changed in: unity-scope-video-remote (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/944251 Title: Unwanted secret outbound connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-geoip/+bug/944251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
