HLS Player is an Android application developed by VideoPro that provides an ad hoc insight into stream quality and validates HLS playlists and media segments. It is a simple HLS analyzer probe that allows users to check the consistency of their HLS streams. The app simulates an HLS player and provides valuable insight into Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) switching and the current Content Delivery Network (CDN) capability to deliver MEDIA playlists and segments.

The HLS Player Simulator is easy to use and requires only two steps - knowing the stream URL and being able to access it from the device running the application. It downloads HLS playlists and media segments, which helps users to validate their streams. The app provides consistent playback and good quality picture and sound. The best part is that HLS Player is free to use, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to validate their HLS streams on the go.
