Apple TV music streaming non stop

Question

Apple TV - music would stop after 2-3 songs then quit.
The photos would still display on screen saver but the songs wouldn't.
I believe the update may have reset the security settings in
System Preferences>
Security>
General>
to "Log out after 15 minutes of inactivity"
Deselect this and it should stream non-stop music.
Current settings:
Computer Sleep - Never
Display Sleep - 3 hours
not selected
Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible
Allow power button to put the computer to sleep
Start up automatically after a power failure
(I am going to select *Put the hard disk to sleep etc., and test Apple TV)
Selected:
*Wake for network access
*Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep
Also under System Preferences:
Selected: Require password 4 hours after sllep or screen saver begins
(I am going to deselect this and test Apple TV)
So I hope this helps anyone having problems with music stopping and then you have to log-in
and set up home sharing again.

Hi -
That did not appear to be the problem, although I think I am closer to figuring this out.  When I am having this problem, and when I turn on the tv and select thereceiver input for the apple tv and then select apple tv in itunes, the music will come out of the speakers.  Then when I turn off the tv and switch the digital in from the apple tv it works, even with the new update.  But, I dont want to have to turn on my tv to play my music thru my speakers!  Once again, if i restore the apple tv, then the apple tv plays music to my receiver via the digital cable without me having to do anything but turn on the receiver and select the proper input.
Any more thoughts?  Thanks for your help.
Cheers
