HLS Validator

Overcomplicated Go application used to validate HLS manifests using Apple's HLS tools that generates validated json files using the mediastreamvalidator, and thereafter generates html reports with the use of hlsreport. The application can validate a manifest n times if for some reason the manifest changes on each request.

Requirements

The user must install the aforementioned Apple's HLS tools, and have go 1.20 or above installed.

Flags

-m, --manifest   
  manifest url to verify with HLS spec. 
-s, --save-valid        
  save reports for valid HLS manifests. 
  Validated jsons will always be generated.
-t, --times         
  number of times to validate url.

Usage

hlsvalidator [-m manifest uri] [-t time] [-s] [-p]

Example

hlsvalidator -m https://example.com/playlist.m3u8 -t 10 -s

This will result in a new output dir with a validated dir containing json reports of the validated manifest, and a reports dir containing HTML translated reports of the previously generated json reports.

Installation

In order to build the application the following command can be used:

make build

This will generate a binary in the bin/ folder.

If you wish to install this application the following command can be run:

make install
