Question, do you need to actually run a frontend on iPad, or do you
just need to play already recorded content from your backend ?

If the latter, you can do an auto-transcode job to make a copy of the
recording transcoded appropriately for the iPad and have it put in a
different recording group,
access the backend from it's web-interface, select the appropriate
recording group for the iPad and play it.

There was a web-program that would do transcodes on-the-fly and gave a
web page for what was done, what was available, but (for me) that was
many years ago, no clue if it's still around.
