How to open LMP4 file?
The main problem with GOM Media Player Data Format is that the LMP4 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open LMP4, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LMP4 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.

Programs to open LMP4 file
Remember to download programs supporting LMP4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GOM Media Player with LMP4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LMP4 file to open in the GOM Media Player application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LMP4 file with the GOM Media Player application.
Step 3. Update GOM Media Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GOM Media Player program, it is possible that GOM Media Player Data Format requires a newer version of the program.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 GRETECH CORP. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LMP4 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LMP4 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LMP4 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LMP4 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 LMP4 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LMP4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LMP4 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the LMP4 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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 LMP4 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LMP4 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
