3. AirTwist is now active.

4. Wait a few seconds for the device to register on the network and then you can look for your device from your XBox 360 or Playstation 3. It will appear as your device name along with “(doubleTwist)” beside it. You can then select music, photos, or videos to play on your XBox 360 or Playstation 3.

3. Troubleshooting


1. If you can’t see your device, try tapping on “Can’t see your device?” from the AirTwist & AirPlay menu. Wait a few seconds for the broadcast to complete and then try looking for the device again from your XBox 360 / Playstation 3 or for the WiFi-like icon to appear.

2. If your Playstation 3 or XBox 360 isn’t seeing your Android device, please verify that you are using a router that is UPnP compatible. You can also try browsing the network from a Windows 7 or Vista machine. You should see your Android device in the Media Devices section of your Network.

3. If the WiFi-like icon doesn’t appear in the playback screen, your network might not be properly configured for Bonjour / ZeroConf, which is what is needed for AirPlay to stream to your Apple TV (2nd generation). To verify that your network is properly configured, please install the ZeroConf Browser on your Android device. After installation, launch the ZeroConf Browser and you should see your Apple TV (2nd generation) in the list of devices. If you do not, your network is not properly configured for Bonjour / ZeroConf. Please reconfigure your network for Bonjour / ZeroConf. Apple maintains a Bonjour / ZeroConf support site here.
