  1. Have you a solution for when you are streaming to an Apple TV, when your device reaches the auto-lock time specified, the playing video then pauses until you unlock the device again. This seems like a pretty useful feature if you say were streaming the WWDC pres from your iPad to the Apple TV and every two minutes needing to tap the screen to keep the iPad awake and the vid playing.
