Bugs when ATV 3 goes in sleep mode

Title says it all. Atv3 update to latest firmware streams perfectly from PMS 0.9.9.7 on my Mac Mini, but when AV goes to sleep for a while I get all sorts of error messages and load times afterwards. Installed PlexConnect 3 days ago so its updated.


Keeping the ATV from sleeping prevents this, but I’d rather let it sleep… Anyone knows of a fix? I know this Issue has been mentioned before… Thanks

If you hit menu on the atv remote to exit the hi-jacked app then re-enter the hijacked app to view plexconnect does it work?

It is a known issue but we can’t reproduce it so it is likely setup specific; my ATV sleeps maybe 10 times a day and I have no issue.

The ATV has an incredibly low power draw; in the original thread about the issue one user worked out that leaving your ATV on all year cost about a dollar in the US so if you face the issue just disable it sleeping for now.

No, doesn't change anything.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing so far, it's working well.

I would prefer if it slept, because right now when I go back in it it's still in the PlexConnect channel (I, of course, always forget to get out).  I'd rather get back to the main page because I put my kids' movies in iTunes and "adult" movies in PlexConnect...  I hate the pretranscoding, but it's the best way I've come up to put up with the lack or parental controls for now.

Thanks for your input.

For what it's worth, I'm currently running an all wireless network over an Airport Extreme, and extended with an Airport Express.
