A different TMB file contains user data created by TMX editor.

Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.

TMB file extension format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Below is our analysis of the TMB files:

The TMB file ending is used by different programs with different formats. The two most popular formats are as follows:

45% of all TMB files use ZIP compression, that is, a TMB file includes multiple compressed files. The average file count is 4 with most TMB files containing between 2 - 4 compressed files. File names inside are TvPlayer.db, TvPlayer.db-shm, TvPlayer.db-wal, ar.tvplayer.tv_playlist_categories_prefs.xml and ar.tvplayer.tv_preferences.xml. If you'd like to see the images and files included, just rename the file extension to .zip and double-click. The files are 1 KB to 2 MB in size, with a median of 380 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. TvPlayer.db. The file name TiviMate_backup_20180601.tmb is typical for these files. These files can be linked to tivi, mate, backup, drich, kuyz, share, autoboot, sfile, trial and mobi.
30% of all TMB files use the popular JPG file format. JPEG is the standard image format for lossy and compressed image data. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The files are often between 2 KB and 80 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. JFIF, Exif and Panasonic. Some examples of file names are 20180601.tmb. These files are attributed to assorted.
