Q: What airplay enabled ipad/iphone/ipod apps still work properly after ios5 update.

Public Radio Player works when iphone goes to sleep...though you have to "trick" the ios device by first starting the music player and selecting airplay...then start public radio player...it continues to work fine with the ios device locked.

probably belongs in another thread, but there are several apps that WILL airplay even without the icon...if you start music player and select airplay first.

p.s. can anyone point me to a post that discusses why the apple tv requires that the video monitor be turned on initially for airplay audio to start streaming?

The issue is so old (it appeared nearly 6 months ago), that there are no more postings about it, because it's obvious that Apple will never address it. It's not interesting for them.

Here is one more recent posting: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17223062#17223062

Anyway. There is no solution for this issue, and I', sure, there will never be.

thx for saving me alot of reading!

I had the same problem and this worked for me:

• Start the app that you want to stream via your Apple TV
• Click twice on the "home button"

I found that, when my ipad gows to sleeping mode, streaming does not stop.

Hope this works for you also

(Excuse my poor english)

It works. But it doesn't change the fact that this is a bug and that Apple does nothing to fix it.

Spotify work too
