Mastering Tb.ewb Files in EasyWorship 7: A Complete Guide

If you’ve recently upgraded to EasyWorship 7 or are digging into its file structure for the first time, you’ve probably come across the .ewb file extension—specifically files labeled with Tb.ewb. Understanding what these files are and how to manage them can save you hours of frustration on a Sunday morning.

Let’s break down what Tb.ewb means, how it differs from old file types, and the best practices for backing up your content.

Tb.ewb vs. EasyWorship 7’s Native API

As of EasyWorship 7 (version 7.5+), Softouch has introduced a REST API and WebSocket server. This officially replaces the need for reverse-engineering Tb.ewb files. Tb.ewb Easyworship 7

• Old method (Tb.ewb): Monitor a temp file on disk, parse raw text, risk file locks.
• New method (WebSocket): Connect to ws://YourEWComputer:5005 and subscribe to slide/current/text. You get JSON data instantly.

Recommendation: If you are building a new integration today, ignore .ewb files entirely. Use the WebSocket API. However, if you are stuck with legacy hardware or an older version of EasyWorship (7.0–7.3), understanding Tb.ewb is essential.

Where is Tb.ewb Located?

By default, EasyWorship 7 hides this file away from accidental deletion. To find it: Mastering Tb

1. Open EasyWorship 7.
2. Go to File > Settings.
3. Look for the Database tab.
4. You will see the file path listed.

Typical locations include:

• C:\Users\Public\Documents\EasyWorship\Data\Tb.ewb
• Or a custom network location if you use multiple presentation computers.

Why Use Text Broadcast (Tb.ewb) Instead of NDI or Screen Capture?

Many users simply screen capture EasyWorship 7 or use its native NDI output. So why bother with a text broadcast export? Old method (Tb

1. Lower Bandwidth: Text data (Tb) is kilobytes of data. Video is megabytes. For remote broadcasting over unstable internet, Tb is superior.
2. Custom Render Engines: Perhaps your broadcast switcher has better 3D text animations or glow effects than EasyWorship’s internal renderer. Tb.ewb sends the words; the switcher handles the look.
3. Multilingual Support: Broadcasting raw Unicode text allows downstream devices to apply different fonts for Hebrew, Greek, or Korean without re-rendering video.
4. Backup & Redundancy: If your EasyWorship machine crashes, the text broadcast cache (*.ewb temp files) allows a secondary machine to pick up the current song slide without restarting.

1. Overview

TB.EWB is a premium media collection optimized for EasyWorship 7’s native engine. It integrates directly into the software’s existing library structure, offering drag-and-drop functionality without requiring external video editors.

Security Considerations for Tb.ewb Broadcasts

Because text broadcast often runs over open UDP ports, be aware:

• No Encryption: A Tb.ewb stream sends Bible verses in plain text. Do not send sensitive data (like credit card numbers or prayer request details).
• VLAN Isolation: Place your EasyWorship 7 machine and your broadcast receivers on a dedicated VLAN or isolated subnet to prevent rogue devices from injecting false lyrics into your stream.
• Whitelist IPs: In EasyWorship’s network settings, enable "Allow only these IPs" and enter the specific addresses of your display computers.

Step 2: Configure the Broadcast Protocol

• Protocol: UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is preferred for real-time text because it does not wait for lost packets.
• Port: Use a dedicated port (e.g., 5277 or 7788).
• Data Format: Select "Raw Text + Cue Marker" – This generates the equivalent of a Tb.ewb stream: a plain text string with a \n or \r break for the next slide.

Common uses

• Storing song lyrics, service order, and media references.
• Importing/exporting song libraries and service layouts between installations.
• Backing up a worship service or transferring setup to another computer.
