Jeyad TV
Live equestrian streaming, built for the 10-foot screen
The companion TV client for Jeyad — live equestrian streams on tvOS and Android TV, with per-platform playback engineered around what each platform can actually do.

Per-platform playback architecture
The two TV platforms don't share the same streaming capabilities, so the playback layer branches by platform instead of forcing one path.
- tvOS: HLS playback via react-native-video, because the Agora SDK is unavailable on tvOS.
- Android TV: the native Agora SDK, matching the live-streaming stack used across the Jeyad platform.
- A single React Native app surface over two different underlying playback engines.
10-foot UI
- D-pad / remote navigation designed for viewing distance, not touch.
- Focus states and layout sized for the living-room screen.
- QR device linking to pair the TV with a Jeyad account.
Engineering Notes
- React Native across tvOS and Android TV from one codebase.
- Playback abstraction that keeps the platform difference out of the feature code.
- Shares the Jeyad platform's content model and live-streaming backend.
