Why is DV reading meta data - set "Match exact audio data"?

[Donk]

I have set "Match exact audio data":






Why is DV reading meta data then:





How could I let DV compare the file content without comparing the audio tags?

[DigitalVolcano]

It doesn't compare the metadata but it does read it in order to display it in the results. (e.g. it always displays the length (duration)

[Donk]

So it cannot be turned off? It obviously takes a lot of time reading them.

[DigitalVolcano]

You can't currently turn off Metadata in Video mode. You can read without metadata using Regular mode, but this will hash the entire file, not just the video portion.

[Donk]

You can turn it off in music mode?

[DigitalVolcano]

No, Audio mode works the same way.
Disabling or caching metadata is something planned for version 6.

Okey, thank you very much!
