How to skip file(s) on USB thumb drive connected to Samsung TV .....

[SurinBeach]

I've googled this no but joy so maybe its not possible,

Simple question I think ....

I have Samsung TV's, connect thumbrives to the USB port, when playing music videos (mp3) I want to skip a track I don't like...by pressing just one button

I'm bouncing up and down on my cross trainer at the time so its a bit tricky !

I know I can skip by FF-ing to the end, or hit RETURN and move to next file

But surely you would have thought it was possible via the remote !

Any techies out there ?

THX, Regards

That feature would depend on your remote control and the TV's media player software.

What model Samsung? What does the manual say?

Have you tried <RIGHT> or <DOWN>, or double-pressing <RIGHT> or <DOWN> or <FF>

The only other way would be to buy a custom remote that could emulate a keyboard.

I have 2 Samsung TVs and both handle USBs differently. I use a media player instead. Sooooo much easier to use and much more flexible. The user interface is great.

I also have recently purchase a new "smart" TV. The internal media player is nowhere near as sophisticated as my Western Digital media player.

Thanks Gents for your two replies...

I have 3 Samsung TVs, a variety of Samsung remotes,

Yup went and tried, but no joy.

So went and dug out old my old WD TV Live from the back of a cupboard and it has the feature/key on the remote, shame my new 55" LED 3D doesn't !

And just checked my LG, that wont skip to next file either ....
