Re: use of cue-sheets
As far as I am aware Twonky does not support quesheets. In the DLNA/UPNP world each track is encoded as a seperate file.
To do what you want you will have to split your audio file up into individual files for each track. I am sure if you do a Google search you will find some software that does this.

That is a feature that your TV must provide. So, look in your TV's manual for something like 'play all'. Twonky server just sends a media file when requested by the media player. Another alternative could be to build a playlist pointing to the video files and play that instead of the individual files.
