ffmpeg regularly tries to call Romania

I am running Serviio 1.2.1 with transplanted ffmpeg from Serviio 1.0.1 (workaround for issues in the newer ffmpeg).

Recently I started using MalwareBytes Antimalware - non-free version and that software has a feature - blocks communications to suspected or known "bad" sites. So now every day, few times a day(!) ffmpeg.exe is trying to access the same website - 93.114.43.3 using different ports.

That IP corresponds Voxility Srl in Romania.

I googled the IP address, and it looks like this IP address has something to do with online TV streams. (which I do have enabled and they do not work :( ). Can anyone confirm that such access request from ffmpeg is legit and it is safe to allow the access?

Kind of feel uncomfortable with my server calling somewhere which I am don't know for sure what is it...

thanks!

Ffmpeg must access any online stream you add so yes, if you add an online stream hosted in Romania, then ffmpeg will have to contact the site.
