Answer 1

It seems not possible to play mp4 or mov files on Apple tv through TVML app(Client server app) as I read article on developer site that

All video playback on Apple TV is based on HTTP Live Streaming and FairPlay Streaming. See About HTTP Live Streaming and FairPlay Streaming Overview. For HTTP Live Streaming authoring specifications, see HLS Authoring Specification for Apple TV.

Thou I can play same format file in traditional app using AVPlayer.
