What is ISMC file?
The file in the ISMC format belongs to the Video Files category. It was designed by Microsoft. Video Files consists of 546 similar files. Smooth Streaming Client Manifest Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The Microsoft IIS application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open ISMC file?
An often recurring problem with Smooth Streaming Client Manifest Format is that ISMC is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ISMC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ISMC 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 Microsoft IIS
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft IIS program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft IIS into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ISMC files.
Programs to open ISMC file
Remember to download programs supporting ISMC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft IIS with ISMC files
If, despite the installed application, the ISMC file does not start in the Microsoft IIS application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ISMC file with the Microsoft IIS program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft IIS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft IIS program, it is possible that Smooth Streaming Client Manifest Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISMC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ISMC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 ISMC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ISMC 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 ISMC 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ISMC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ISMC 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ISMC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ISMC to close. However, some background programs may block the ISMC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
