Programs to open UM4 file
Remember to download programs supporting UM4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Samsung LCD TVs with UM4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UM4 file to open in the Samsung LCD TVs application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Samsung LCD TVs application as the default for handling the UM4 file.
Step 3. Update Samsung LCD TVs to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Samsung LCD TVs program with the Samsung Smart TV Video Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Samsung Group page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UM4 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 UM4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the UM4 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our UM4 file. However, remember that not every infected UM4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the UM4 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular UM4 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UM4 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move UM4 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the UM4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file UM4 to close. However, some background programs may block the UM4 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
