.
Okay first of all this is no hardcore coding or difficult to understand linux scripting - i got the idea when i saw this thread by bambamx , first i thought it was just a placebo effect but when i tried i could see a noticeable difference so i thought i'd share with you guys .

The issue is not the media server but one or several apps that run in services and keep it awake.
All the apps that are galleries or media player uses media server to play/show/scan so if you use any of those app mediaserver while be get a high percentage of battery usage and that's normal, the issue is when one of the apps is badly coded an keeps awake media server even if you are not using the app
So you just need to hunt the ****ty app that makes mediaserver drain your battery
