Exploring folders with lots of video files in them causes massive performance issues #3

Whenever you navigate to a folder with lots of video files in there, massive performance issues happen. The bigger the video files are, the worse it gets.

Caching transcoded videos should help alleviate things a bit, but isn't a proper solution.

A quick look at the problem seems to reveal that this appears to be a browser / GPU issue (all frames of the video need to be uploaded to the GPU) that's made worse by the transcoding process potentially being slow (as all transcoding operations are fighting for the same resources).

The quickest, easiest fix seems to be to stop loading videos after a few seconds. Alternatively, videos could be loaded sequentially.
