Apple TV streaming client
MediaTV brings the library to your living room
The Story
MediaTV turns an Apple TV into a full living-room cinema — live TV and radio, a cloud DVR, and a library of movies and series — streamed in high quality and driven entirely by the Siri Remote.
It's a separate product from the phone app, not a port. tvOS lives and dies by the focus engine, so it's built as 67 modular assemblies with a custom transport bar that scrubs DVR archives by preview segments rather than wall-clock time.
A shared, encrypted multi-server layer keeps it streaming when individual CDNs fall over — outages that would blank the screen become invisible, with no app update required.
It's part of a nine-year, solo-built OTT platform spanning iPhone, iPad and Apple TV — roughly 1,300 Swift files and 4,500 commits behind a single shared SDK.
By the Numbers
Behind the Build
tvOS is a different animal from touch — it lives and dies by the focus engine — so the Apple TV app is a separate product, not a port: 67 modular DI assemblies, and a custom transport bar that scrubs DVR archives by preview segment rather than wall-clock time.
Underneath, an encrypted multi-server layer rotates CDN and API endpoints on failure, with warm-start caching so a cold launch after an outage doesn't retry a dead server first. Backend outages that would blank the screen became invisible.
