Adaptive Bitrate Manifest Viewer is a free Chrome extension developed by Mike Grace. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.

This extension allows users to view HLS m3u8, MPEG Dash, and SMIL manifests directly in the Chrome browser, eliminating the need to download the manifest file and open it in a separate text editor. By blocking the download of the manifest when requested as the main URL, the extension parses and displays it with syntax highlighting. Additionally, it provides definition links to the ietf.org draft documentation for easy reference.

To download the manifest file, users can simply click on the source URL at the top of the page. The extension also conveniently links resources within the manifest, making it effortless to test different parts.

With Adaptive Bitrate Manifest Viewer, users can easily view and analyze manifests without the hassle of downloading and opening them in external applications.
