I am trying to understand if the tvOS app(s) I want to make are currently possible. Happy to file feature requests if useful...
I want to build a sophisticated audio processor for tvOS. This processor would not be a "media player" but would "pick up" or "tap into" the audio stream, do things to it, and send it on its way. Something like what the "MTAudioProcessingTap Audio Processor" sample code does, but intercepting the audio stream rather than playing a media asset.
Based on my initial read of the controls for tvOS (focus engine, etc), I'm guessing the audio control interface would be on an iOS device, talking to the tvOS app via Bluetooth or wifi.
If anyone has any architectural suggestions to investigate I'd appreciate it. I've worked a little bit with AVFoundation, but have primarily stayed higher-level for my lightweight media code.
