Hi, I've purchased a samsung smart tv. When i plugged it all up to the modem and got it all up and running I switched on my laptop to see it syncing my music from my windows media player. I had not expected it and am pleased it's possible. I noticed not all my music is showing up on he telly. I have added more albums to WMP but cant find how to re sync the two together. Everytime I turn the telly on it asks me on the laptop to install the drivers for the TV, Which I dont have, (tried downlaoding them from samsung which still doesnt work).

Can anyone give me any ideas why the rest of the music isnt showing up on the telly.

Also is there a programme I can use on the telly or laptop to play my itunes through the telly as thats what i use in general.

Should i just get a lead to plug into the PC socket of the tv? It seems a shame when the system is obviously there but seems not to work fully.

What are the best ways of having a tv laptop and a large amount of music all hooked up, Preferably wireless.

I guess your problem may be that your TV doesn't recognise some music formats, assuming you have music in different formats, of course (FLAC, MP3, wma, M4a etc)

Can't help you with iTunes I'm afraid (hateful thing!!) but I have used two separate programmes; Twonky and Tversity.
They are media streaming programmes, which will work with videos, pictures and music, again, depending on what formats your TV can recognise. Both are free to download...

Give them a shot and see what happens!
