I am working with rather large amount of large multimedia/movie files. When I try to run synchronization, the admin.php script tries to go thru all video files within a chosen category, it reads each and every file in its entirety. This causes a problem where I'm running in all sort of cpu runtime limits both set by PHP and the system.

Is there a reason why PIWIGO needs to go through and read entire content of each movie file to perform synchronization? I don't think there is a good reason to read a 500MB multimedia file to
perform synchronization.

Is there a solution to this?

Thank you very much!
