TwonkyManager™

Why can't I get my Samsung TV to work with Twonky software?

First, confirm that your Samsung TV works with Twonky software. You can view a list of Samsung TVs that work with Twonky software here.

Samsung's 2009 TVs can be externally controlled without any changes to the settings. Samsung TVs from 2010 sometimes need to have the following settings changed before they can be controlled using Twonky software:

Use your Samsung handheld remote to navigate here:
Menu > Application > Content View > AllShare and then press ENTER.

Make sure "Media" is set to "On" by pressing the ENTER key.

A warning may appear informing you that media sent from a mobile phone or other device will be displayed on your TV. Press "Allow" to allow media to be sent. Please refer to the User's Guide that came with your TV for more information on this.

How can I play all my music in my library without creating a playlist?

Double-click on the first song in Album Art view. Every song in your library will play.

Why do I get a security alert when I run TwonkyManager for the first time?

Because TwonkyManager communicates with other PCs and consumer electronics (CE) devices over your network, Windows® firewall asks your permission before allowing this. Just click the Unblock button and you'll never be bothered with this message again.

How can I import my CDs into TwonkyManager?

The easiest way to do this is to encode them using iTunes®. Open iTunes and follow these steps:

1. Go to Edit/Preferences to ensure Import using MP3 encoder and Automatically retrieve CD names from Internet are checked. Click OK.
2. Uncheck all songs on a CD but one.
3. Right click on that song and select Convert song to MP3?
