Hi Peter,
Thanks for your response, it seems we are in a pretty similar state tech wise though you have a lot more TV's to deal with. Though we have not upgraded production to 7.4 (using on our dev controller) so went straight to local AP group for the one request we couldn't hold as it was required for teaching. Everyone else we have asked to be patient and so far that's working. The local AP group is a real pain though, we already have enough of them to deal with which is another issue entirely. Yeah the lack of battery in the ATV is a pain, we will probably do the same and connect them to wired or use a WPA2-PSK rather than dot1x. After a discussion with our Cisco reps, the good news is that 7.5 has location based improvements which looks pretty good for what we want to achieve here. I'm not sure what detail I can provide apart from (something relevant is coming) so if you are interested get in contact with your local rep.

Like you we found the bonjour gateway features worked, but did not provide location control. In some cases our academics have multiple AppleTV's in the one location and don't mind that they are all available. In other locations, they only want to see the local Apple TV, so we have an ssid advertised with a name like ATV-P512 to let them know this is the apple tv for Building P room 512. This is a bit of a pain as we also have to create an ap-group for each apple tv. We are using 802.1x and found that if the ATV is powered off, it does not store the time and has issues accepting a certificate. For this reason we connect the AppleTV using the wired port, on the same vlan that the ssid terminates on. We actually had to turn off the bonjour gateway feature for these networks to achieve our goal. While this is not an ideal solution, it achieves the outcome we require. Peter.

I know other vendors have similar workaround features and am interested see how people have gone with it, keen to hear from users of other vendors as well. So far it all seems to work as advertised, was pretty easy setup with good control over what services you advertise. However I find there to be a lack of location control, and would like to know if anyone has implemented ways to control the location where the advertisements go. For something like this we'd like to restrict the advertisements to location by building/level/room/AP, it will help it scale better for users devices when scrolling through the list of available devices to connect to like an Apple TV. Users in building 1 don't need to see an Apple TV in a meeting room in building 2. Using separate SSID's is also not really a scalable solution... though does work of course with a dedicated subnet and multicast enabled. We currently don't have building based networks, which would be one way to control advertisements. This is something we are planning, but are a while off yet, also the ability to go more granular than just buildings would be useful. I've started a conversation with our local Cisco office, but am interested see what others may have done or believe could be useful for this.
