Streaming issues

Troubleshooting streaming issues

Inspect your stream

Validate your HLS manifest/stream using:

• DASH-IF's DASH Validator (MPEG-DASH only)
• THEOplayer inspectstream tool (HLS only)

Test your stream

Test HLS or MPEG-DASH playback using:

• DASH-IF's reference player (MPEG-DASH only) (source)
• Akamai's player (source)
• Shaka Player (source)
• BitMovin Player
• Flowplayer (source)
• JW Player (source)
• THEOplayer

Test other streams

Sometimes you would simply like to test how other streams perform on the same player:

• Flussonic playback test streams
• ITEC's DASH dataset
