How VideoLab Works
Three steps to test and debug any video stream
Paste a URL or Upload a File
Enter any MP4, M3U8, MPD, YouTube, or Vimeo URL — or drag & drop a local video file directly into the player.
Hit Play & Watch Diagnostics Update Live
The player starts streaming instantly. The debug panel tracks connection status, resolution, bitrate, codec, and every network event in real time.
Share or Export Your Debug Log
Generate a shareable URL to reproduce the exact test, or export a full JSON debug log with timestamps, errors, and stream info.
What is an M3U8 Player?
An M3U8 player reads and plays M3U8 playlist files, which are the core of HLS streaming. This tool lets you test any M3U8 URL from a browser without needing to install VLC, ffplay, or any other desktop software.
Testing IPTV M3U8 Streams
IPTV services deliver channels as M3U8 playlists. Use VideoLab to check if your IPTV stream is active, accessible from a browser, and playing correctly before building your own IPTV player app.
