Screen Auto Shutoff?

I have a client that is livestreaming video to an app for up to an hour and a half at a time. From their feedback, the current app seems to be shutting off the screen after about 10 minutes or so. Is there a way to keep the screen on and at full brightness until they shut down the screen or as long as a video is playing?

I bookmarked this a while ago, might help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9904306/disable-automatic-screen-lock-in-ios-5-1 I just wonder if Apple would be happy with this? Isn't it a holy user core setting of some sort? Farcat

Doubt Apple would care - if they did, why would they include the method?

Good point, and reading a bit more about it shows that it is quite common in fact. A lot of games require minimum interaction with the screen and need to stay on for long period of time.
