Questions before using the tool
Understand playlist analysis, access checks, and report exports.
01Does a parsed manifest prove the stream is playable?
No. Structure analysis does not guarantee segment access, codec support or decryption. Continue with the player or the relevant inspection tool.
02Does pasting or importing a manifest test HTTP and CORS?
No. Paste and file import analyze the supplied text locally. Use URL checking to test what this browser can fetch.
03Does exporting a report rewrite the playlist?
No. JSON, TXT and CSV exports are diagnostic reports. The checker does not group IPTV channels or remove duplicate playlist entries.
