Administrators Amethyst 2468 Posted January 7, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yeah, that ****ing thumbnail has been a thorn in my side for a while. I literally don't even know where it came from, much less how it managed to infect itself into my music files. I finally looked up how to delete it a little bit ago but it keeps trying to come back. :I Link to post Share on other sites
Absol-lutelty awesome! 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I know about file extraction glitches, spider software, and virus implementation. I may not be the most knowledgable when it comes to some things as shown in some of my troubleshooting posts which I have been aware of. Seeing your post noticing this has further proved that other people notice it. it normally would sound like you've gotta spider software issue! It will stay there and they are very hard to get rid of as you said it seems to keep trying to return despite clear deletion of the file, which spider software is, notorious for doing so. Also I have taken notice of you saying it is unknown of origin and or reason. Spiders are often hidden within files and downloads deeply. But in this case being a thumbnail I doubt of a spider being a thumbnail leaving question and no answer. However we can't jump to conclusions and in the end it may be something other than an annoying spider thumbnail which I still doubt, nobody would go through the trouble of making an entire hidden spider software thumbnail. It's too complicated for something so small. It sounds like a spider software for sure from explanation but what the heck's the point of it? And who would've done it? An idiot troll? Maybe. But I still can't jump to a conclusion. I suggest research into the music file, it could hold answers if you dig into the very roots of the file. Spiders are hard to find but they can be found! Or maybe I've wasted my time typing about hacking and virus software knowledge over something that could simply be part of a download accident. Don't always trust my knowledge as I said for it may be nothing of the sort as a spider, and I at this point could just be an annoying idiot who doesn't know what he's ranting about. After all it's just a thumbnail so I guess once again I'm wrong... (- _ -) Link to post Share on other sites
Sylvan Nephilim 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I thought it was just VLC Media Player noticing "Reborn" in the file names and finding on the internet metadata for Stryper's Reborn album. Link to post Share on other sites
Absol-lutelty awesome! 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 That doesn't seem logical...metadata file feed can be overrun if it were to do so... So once again the question arises as to why such a thumbnail would be there... No computer would just slap on a thumbnail because of name relations. It goes deeper Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 38 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It's not pulling it from a metadata file or anything like that. It's pulling it from the album artwork .JPEG at the top of the Audio/BGM files. What's also strange is that their creation dates don't coincide with any creation dates of the music files or audio files at all. It's even stranger that my Windows Music Player isn't grabbing the artwork either, which normally it does. I just blurred out name for ya know. Safety sake. It's sorted out by date by the way.

Absol-lutelty awesome! 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 So it IS pulling data but for unknown reasons. So we've eliminated potential spiders, metadata, and some sort of odd glitch. But now we've gotta find the source/reason for pulling data that has no relations with the music itself... Why would it just use that? Link to post Share on other sites
Sylvan Nephilim 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Amethyst, have you tried adding your own thumbnail to the music? I don't know how to do that or if it would help however. ...This topic is topic 6666. Stryper is the work of the devil. Link to post Share on other sites
Absol-lutelty awesome! 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 GUH!? *total gasp* If I am able to find a truly good software I can paint up a thumbnail or we could always go right bit? : P Maybe we could do a totally epic realism painting of the protagonists fighting a team meteor on a mountainside Link to post Share on other sites
