Does anyone know how to lock an iPad so it will loop a video endlessly without sleeping and without people being able to stop or turn off the playback?
Thanks!

so, there's this: www.kioskproapp.com
but... this will answer your question no matter where you look...
"Due to software restrictions by Apple, our Kiosk Pro software is unable to restrict access to the home button. To prevent your users from exiting Kiosk Pro, the iPad's home button must be physically covered."

1) get a local plastics place to make custom clear acrylic enclosure for you...
2) from the apple forums: upload a movie in the picture section by using the photo viewer, make sure you only have videos in that folder and start a diaporama. dont touch the screen. it will play your video (and loop it) as long as you won't touch the screen

You can Jailbreak to remove access to the home button unless you use a special button combination / pattern.
- A special button combination without the only button? Are you talking about the volume and power buttons?monospaced

Yeah im pretty sure i've used an app when my kid was just tiny and id let him fiddle around with Bebot or some of those touch synthesizers. I'd be worried that he'd exit out and go delete all my emails just with random touches, so there's a tweak you can put in that makes it so the power / home button doesnt work unless you're also holding the up and down volume button or something.

If it's not urgent, iOS6 has Guided Access, that will let you restrict access to the home button and other various parts of an app.
