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 DTV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DTV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DTV or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DTV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DTV files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DTV files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DTV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DTV to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DTV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DTV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
