Not possible to wake up AppleTV with remote App

Just updated to iOS8, and my ATV3 just got the latest update. Remote App also updated today.

After all these updates, I can still control my ATV3 with my iPhone using the Remote App.

BUT: when ATV3 is put to sleep, it does not show up under "units" when I start the Remote App. I only see my iTunes library. If I wake up the ATV3 using the ordinary remote control, then it shows up in the "units" section of the remote App.

It was not like this before the updates. Then ATV3 would show up in the "units" section even when it was "sleeping".

Any ideas?

I was having the same issue but I was able to resolve this by:

1. Opening the Apple Remote app.

2. Click Settings.

3. Turn off the option for Stay Connected.

This resolved it for me and Apple TV woke instantly when AirPlay-ing from my iPhone.

Apple Remote app: v4.2.1 (849)

iPhone iOS: v8.1.3
