Browser-Based Stream Inspection Tool

M3U8 Analyzer

Paste an M3U8 URL to inspect HLS playlist structure, variants, codecs, tracks, segment counts, and duration without leaving the browser.

Heads up: Analysis depends on browser access to the playlist. Signed links, blocked CORS, expired URLs, or DRM-protected streams can prevent inspection.

What the analyzer shows

Master or media playlist type
Variant resolution, bitrate, frame rate, and codec declarations
Audio and subtitle track groups declared in the manifest
Segment count, target duration, estimated total duration, and live/VOD status

Useful for QA, debugging, and SEO-led content workflows

Check whether an M3U8 is master or media before embedding it.
Compare declared variants and codec ladders across streams.
Confirm segment counts and rough duration before download or conversion.
