Troubleshooting Problems Opening TSTREAM Files
Typical TSTREAM Opening Challenges
SwarmPlayer is Not Installed
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open TSTREAM Files" when trying to open your TSTREAM. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have SwarmPlayer for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your TSTREAM with SwarmPlayer, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your TSTREAM file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Wrong Version of SwarmPlayer is Installed
Your SwarmPlayer Streaming Torrent file is incompatible with SwarmPlayer because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of SwarmPlayer from Open Source is recommended. Your SwarmPlayer Streaming Torrent file was probably created by a newer release of SwarmPlayer than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Right-clicking on your TSTREAM, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Summary: Not having the right SwarmPlayer version on your computer can cause problems opening TSTREAM files.
Associated Difficulties Loading TSTREAM Files
You can still experience errors opening TSTREAM files even with the latest version of SwarmPlayer installed on your PC. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening TSTREAMs. Additional factors include:
- Windows Registry TSTREAM file paths that are incorrect
- Accidental deletion of the description of the TSTREAM file in the Windows registry
- Invalid installation of a TSTREAM-associated program (eg. SwarmPlayer)
- TSTREAM file corruption
- Your TSTREAM has adversely impacted by malware
- TSTREAM-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the SwarmPlayer Streaming Torrent format
