When a stream will not play, the answer is usually in its manifest. The analyzer fetches an HLS manifest and lays out the master playlist, every variant, and the media segments in a readable form.
It is a diagnostic tool for developers and power users who need to understand why a stream behaves the way it does.
What it surfaces
- Master playlist variants with resolution and bandwidth
- Codecs advertised for audio and video
- Segment durations and count
- Whether the stream is live or VOD
- Any encryption keys referenced
