🗂️ How to Open and View TP Files Online

A TP file is a video recording file created by some digital video recorders (DVRs) and set-top boxes. It is similar to MPEG transport stream (.ts) files, containing recorded TV programs, movies, or shows. Many users find TP files hard to open since they aren’t as common as MP4 or AVI formats.

 

What is a TP File?

  • Extension: .tp

  • Type: Video File

  • Format: Transport Stream (MPEG-2 based)

  • Usage: Stores TV shows or video recordings from DVR devices.

  • Often includes both video + audio streams with metadata.

 

🔹 How to Open TP Files?

You can open TP files with standard media players that support MPEG transport streams:

  1. VLC Media Player (Windows, macOS, Linux)

    • Free and open-source.

    • Drag & drop the .tp file into VLC.

  2. KMPlayer / PotPlayer (Windows)

    • Lightweight players with better codec support.

  3. MPC-HC (Media Player Classic – Home Cinema).

  4. Convert TP to MP4

    • If your device doesn’t support TP playback, you can convert it using:

      • HandBrake (free, open-source).

      • FFmpeg (command line, very powerful).

 

🔹 Online TP File Viewer (Web Tool Idea)

If you want a browser-based tool:

  • User uploads .tp file.

  • Tool uses JavaScript + HTML5 video player (with MediaSource API).

  • Optionally, backend (FFmpeg) can convert TP → MP4 for streaming.
