Google Photos upload issue #2

Following up on Copying Google Drive to Google Photos ...

I've run my copy command 3 times now – each run taking 14-70 hours – and every time the stats are different re 'checks' and 'transferred'

Shouldn't a second run not transfer anything except maybe some 'errors' if I'm using the album directory which basically replicates the folder structure?

Help!

My command is:

rclone copy -Pvv \ 
"gdrive:folder" "gphotos:album/rclone" \
--transfers 16 \ 
--tpslimit 1 \ 
--drive-chunk-size 128M \ 
--exclude "*.{xml,bin,json,thm,DS_Store}*" \ 
--ignore-case \ 
--log-file=rclone-photos-"$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).log"

And these are the tails of the logs:

I tried with --gphotos-read-size but that resulted in nearly every item generating this kind of error:

ERROR : to file/MEDIA/00061.MTS: corrupted on transfer: sizes differ src(combine root '___') 10911744 vs dst(Google Photos path "album/rclone") 1899357

Another run:

Sigh.
