What is Mediaserver and why is it draining my battery?

[ashwinr136]

For the past couple days, my battery life has been atrocious, my phone has been slower & choppier, and has been getting really hot. It says that Mediaserver is using ~50% of my battery, but I have no idea what it is. I left home around 8:00 this morning at 100%, and was at 30% when I got home at 3:00. Usually it would be around 80-85%. Can anyone tell me a solution to this problem? Thanks.

If so it's a 3rd party app, you should be able to uninstall it
