Answer 1

In tvjs player (https://developer.apple.com/library/tvos/documentation/TVMLJS/Reference/TVJSPlayer_Ref/) just set the type of the mediaItem (https://developer.apple.com/library/tvos/documentation/TVMLJS/Reference/TVJSMediaItem_Ref/index.html#//apple_ref/javascript/cl/MediaItem) to audio. Have a look at https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnectApp/tree/master/PlexConnectApp/js, comparing VideoPlayer.js and AudioPlayer.js. I guess, using Swift/Foundation, things should be handled similar...
