Extract text from TMB files
To convert your TMB file to another format, you need TiviMate IPTV Player or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "Settings Archive" file type, you need software like TiviMate IPTV Player or a similar tool.
The .tmb file extension is shared primarily between two distinct ecosystems: TiviMate IPTV Player backups and Panasonic digital camera thumbnails.
1. TiviMate Backup Files (Primary Use):
For most users, a .tmb file is a comprehensive backup created by TiviMate, a popular IPTV player for Android TV. These files store your playlists, EPG sources, favorites, and configuration settings. While crucial for restoring your setup on a new device, the format is essentially a renamed ZIP archive. Users often struggle to open these on a PC to edit playlists manually because the extension is not recognized by standard archivers like WinRAR or 7-Zip without renaming.
Conversion Strategy:
To access the internal XML or playlist data, simply rename the extension from .tmb to zip and extract it. For migration, keep it as .tmb and use the "Restore data" function in TiviMate.
2. Panasonic & Image Thumbnails:
Older Panasonic digital cameras and software generate .tmb files as low-resolution preview images alongside the high-quality JPG or raw image. These are small, compressed files intended only for the camera's LCD screen or file browser. Users often mistakenly back up these files instead of the originals, leading to disappointment when they attempt to print them.
Conversion Strategy:
If the original photo is lost, you can convert these .tmb files to JPG or PNG to salvage a viewable (albeit low-resolution) image.
3. Other Variations:
Less commonly, this file may be a JSON song chart for the rhythm game Trombone Champ, or a 3D model file for games like Asura Online. These formats are strictly proprietary and generally require their specific game engines to open.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TMB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TACHIBK, CONT, TMP, MP3, BPC, CSV, JPG, JSON, TXT, MP4, TBM, BMP and ZIP files.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TMB converter.
