HLSMonitor: Live Video QA
HLS stream quality monitor
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Point at any HLS stream and watch quality the way a viewer would —
segment timing, stalls, bitrate ladder, loudness — then share a one-page
PDF quality report.
HLSMonitor plays a live stream the way your viewers watch it — in a real
browser-based player — and measures delivery quality while it plays.
Open an .m3u8 URL directly, or load any web page with an HLS player in it.
HLSMonitor detects the manifests and media segments automatically and starts
recording.
WHAT IT MEASURES
• Segment downloads: every request, with median, p95, and peak download
times charted against real-time playback so you can see the player
falling behind before viewers do
• Failures: segment requests that error or return HTTP 400+
• Download gaps: stretches with no segment downloads for more than twice
the target duration
• Playback stalls: only confirmed, viewer-visible freezes are counted,
with measured durations
• Rendition switches: watch ABR move through the quality ladder, with
every variant's resolution, codecs, and bitrate listed from the master
playlist
• Audio loudness: LUFS momentary, short-term, and integrated loudness
with true peak, metered from the inline player or from device audio via
a screen-broadcast extension (levels only — nothing is recorded or
uploaded)
SHARE A QUALITY REPORT
When the session ends, generate a one-page PDF: monitored duration,
segments, throughput, a timeline of quality events, incident counts with
plain-language explanations, and a verdict based on what viewers actually
experienced. Sessions from the same day can be consolidated into one
report. Share it from the standard iOS share sheet.
WHO IT'S FOR
Broadcast engineers, streaming ops, video developers, and anyone who gets
asked "is the stream OK?" and wants an answer with numbers attached —
from wherever they happen to be standing.
HLSMonitor sends nothing anywhere. All monitoring happens on the device,
and the only thing that leaves it is the PDF if you choose to share.
