Apple TV closes while pandora is playing

stvnky has helpfully pointed to the Pandora discussion. It does look like they are working on a fix.

The workaround, as some pointed out above and as discussed in the Pandora thread, is to set the Apple TV sleep timer to never. The timer parameter can be reset once the app is updated.

I wish there was some way to be notified when the app is updated. Any thoughts on that?

Just installed tvos 13.2 and the problem still persists so I guess apple doesn’t consider this as an issue and the ball is entirely in pandoras court which *** since they haven’t done a thing for a good good month already

WAKE UP APPLE! We need another update! The last update reset the sleep mode to 15 minutes and voila when you're playing Pandora, it goes to sleep! I finally figured it out on my own and then found it posted here when I was going to warn everyone! My wife has been going CRA CRA over this. Just set the sleep mode to 5 hours or never for now. APPLE WAKE UP PLEASE!

Unfortunately i dont see an update for the app neither on mu apple tv nor my phone. Restarted atv closed app store no update. Restated the pandora app and my trying again now, but most likely it wont work since there is no update. Anyone else had a chance to test it or got their app updated?

Update: IT IS NOT WORKING and NO UPDATE as of 4:59pm est

Looks like Pandora isn’t telling the Apple aTV that it’s “alive”. Go into Settings > General > Sleep After and change the default to something higher than 15 minutes. Until Pandora fixes this problem, this will work.

Update: an update appeared in the atv App Store when I checked an hour ago, and after the update the problem seems to be finally fixed. Ive been listening to pandora for the last hour and my atv is set to 15 mins sleep. Go to town fellas :)

I have the exact same problem. Never happened before the latest iTvOs 13 update. It’s driving me nuts.

Had the same problem. ‘Sleep After’ setting got reset to 15 minutes. Go to Settings>General>Sleep After and change the time. Once I changed it, it stopped turning off automatically.

Possibly a bug and possibly not, have you restarted or reset the ATV?? If you have not please look over https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202118

Same here. Really frustrating! Don’t know if this is Apple or Pandora...

Has anybody just straight up uninstalled and reinstalled Pandora? I’m wondering if a reinstallation would put the hooks into the OS properly again...

I’ll try when I get home.

You changed it to what though?

You have six options. Never, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours, and 10 hours. I chose never but you could probably choose any of the other options.
