Windows 10: What are [[meta]] [[meta-new]] files?

New to win 64 home. I use Total Commander with Show Hidden Files. but have [[meta]] and [[meta-new]] set not to show. What are they?

:)

 

Radio streaming?

I'd like to listen to live BBC World Service streams on my C3-00, but the phone is not compatible with the BBC iPlayer. The World Service lists these streams:



World Service English (Internet Schedule)

Real: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/meta/tx/nb/live/eneuk.ram

WMA: BBC - World Service Sportshour - Sione's Miracle Kidney Trans...

MP3: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/meta/tx/nb/live/eneuk.pls



Is there any way of getting the C3-00 to stream any of them?



Thanks!

 

creating background on my zune music and video

For the songs and videos being played the background is an image associated with the artist meta information gathered from Zune. If the song or video doesn't have the correct meta information it won't display anything. Using the Zune desktop client you
can edit song tag information and if you update album information it should apply all the missing meta data for that song.

 

Could you possibly mean metadata?
- e.g. tags on media files, location/date/exposure..... info on photos?

Or do you mean playlists?
Introduction to Windows Media Metafiles

Or this perhaps?
META File - What is it and how do I open it?

Or this?
Windows Metafile - Wikipedia

Perhaps you could post a screenshot showing where you see this.

[[meta]]
or[[meta-new]]

That's exactly what I saw, at the top of the filename list. Not all directories, just system. Nothing happens when I click on them. Now, after a few updates and reboots, they seem to have gone away. So I can't provide a screen shot. As far as I can tell they have nothing to do with a metafile.

 

Here's a screen shot. There is no content to the [[Meta]] file.

Windows 10 Home (X64) Version 1703 (build 150615.332)

Sorry, new to me.. perhaps someone here may have an idea.

 

I want to re-activate this post, in the hope that someone will know about the [[meta]] files. I cannot prevent them from showing in file explorer. Could it be something unique to the HP - Windows OS? Where else but this forum might I find some info?

 

I'm on my HP desktop running a OEM version of Windows 10 Home and don't have the meta files. My guess is that they are being created by a program you have installed.

 

Great suggestion! I suspected Ashampoo Backup. Then ran Everything and found hundreds of [[meta]]s. I noticed that the dates and times of the files coincide with the scheduled backup time (Friday at 1:00). So that's the culprit. I will contact Ashampoo.

 

Glad to hear you found the source. *Smile

 

I'll mark solved. Ashampoo told me the files cannot be hidden. I'm off to find another backup.
