iPhone 3GS, iOS 4, 2nd Gen Apple TV
Turn Auto-Lock to off. Then it won't interrupt the movie.
I just had to reset my router due to a connection problem.
And that's when my iPhone Auto-lock started interrupting my video feed. Prior to reset, it was working fine all day.
I believe it's being picky about the order in which you start your devices.
It may be because I didn't reset Apple TV right after I reset my router.
It's definitely something to do with the order in which your devices are powered up.
I was using Aereo to watch TV all day with iPhone 4S and Apple TV, with no problem.
As soon as I powered up the router, my iPhone settings took presidency over the Apple TV 2.
This info should help you resolve the problem.
Meanwhile just change auto-lock to never, to watch an uninterrupted stream.

I agree, Apple gadgets sleeps when you don't want them to and won't when you want them to.
It's so annoying and appealing when you don't give your customers compassion and understanding. How could you not give us such simple things we need to enjoy your products. It's as if you're purposely agitating us.
I found a solution for this problem by coincidence, airplay used to pause when my iphone went into sleep mode, when this happens just grab the lil airplay remote and press play.
This used to work fine for me, but since I've upgraded to ios5 and the latest Apple TV upgrade, I now also have this problem. I have not tried it with Music yet, but it definitely pauses anything from YouTube when my phone locks. Any suggestions?
I definitely have the same issue with my iPhone 4. I airplay video from my Videos app, from YouTube or from Vevo to my Apple TV and it stops as soon as the auto lock kicks in. I know 100% it did not do this before the iOS 5 update. What gives? This pretty much renders this feature useless if it shuts off after auto lock. I don't want to have to switch the auto lock feature every time I want to airplay something, and I don't want to have to retore my phone to something before iOS 5, as I appreciate the update besides this. In general I love my Apple products, but it makes me rethink all my Apple purchases whenever I get these stupid little technical issues that come up and it's like pulling teeth trying to get a solution. Get your **** together.
just started happening to me. my Apple TV2 updated itself yesterday and blamo, when iPad or iPhone autolock, play stops, also when I leave an app that is airplaying, and go back to that app, play stops.
NOT GOOD
the version that my AppleTV 2 updated to is 4.4.3 (3323)
I too have all my devices (iPhone 4, 4S, iPad, & appleTV 2nd gen) updated, however, after the iOS 5 update, once the iPhones or the iPad go to sleep the appleTV gets disconnected. It is something in the iOS5 since the problem started before I updated the appleTV.
Can apple do something about this? Maybe an update to make AirPlay independent...
Airplay stops when iPhone sleeps
