Jan 28, 2012 6:15 AM in response to ChrisCameoby davidfromcarrabelle,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.

Jan 28, 2012 6:20 AM in response to davidfromcarrabelleby davidfromcarrabelle,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?

Jan 29, 2012 3:42 AM in response to davidfromcarrabelleby Macuser201,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.

Jan 29, 2012 7:44 AM in response to Macuser201by RtH07,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)

Feb 10, 2012 5:55 PM in response to Macuser201by ChrisCameo,Its not a bug as much as it is a different approach to saving battery life. App developers are able to fix the issue within their apps programatically. Apple is notorious for making others adapt to their decisions instead of than the other way around.

Feb 10, 2012 5:56 PM in response to RtH07by ChrisCameo,What app does this work with? I tried it on "Frequency" and it doesnt make a difference.

Feb 10, 2012 5:58 PM in response to ChrisCameoby ChrisCameo,The best fix ive seen so far (qt least for app falling asleep with the device) is to have it plugged in. Devices fed power dont actually fall asleep... They just dim and continue to stream without having to tamper with settings every time.
