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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RTMP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RTMP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RTMP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RTMP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RTMP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RTMP 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RTMP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RTMP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RTMP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
