What is TBN file?

The TBN file has been categorized as Raster Image Files. It was designed by XBMC. Raster Image Files consists of 522 similar files. XBMC Thumbnail Image is most often found on 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. The main program that supports this format is XBMC. This was created by XBMC. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs.

How to open TBN file?

The most common problem when using XBMC Thumbnail Image is that a specific TBN is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TBN files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TBN file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install XBMC

The first step is to check if the computer has the XBMC program installed. This can be achieved by typing XBMC into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TBN.

Programs to open TBN file

Remember to download programs supporting TBN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XBMC with TBN files

If, despite the installed application, the TBN file does not start in the XBMC application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TBN file with the XBMC program.

Step 3. Update XBMC to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the XBMC program, it is possible that XBMC Thumbnail Image requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the XBMC page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TBN file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TBN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TBN file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TBN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TBN files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TBN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact XBMC
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TBN except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the TBN file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TBN file again. However, some background programs may block the TBN file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
