Playlist Health Lab — Full M3U Quality Analysis

Upload an M3U / M3U8 for playlist-wide quality analysis — duplicate streams, dead/slow summaries, buffering-risk hints, category health scores, server/domain report, missing logos, empty group-title, suspicious/adult categories, cleanup recommendations, and an exportable health report. For dedicated per-stream online/offline checks, use Stream Validator (browser-based).

Account required — Health Lab runs on our servers and is billed per channel scanned. Sign up or log in to use it; billing is 1 credit per http(s) stream line scanned (shown on this page).

Frequently asked questions

Is Playlist Health Lab free to use?

Core use is free or included in your account tier. Some advanced actions may use credits — see the badge on the tool card for current pricing.

Do I need to install software?

No. Playlist Health Lab runs in your web browser on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Is my playlist data safe?

Many tools process locally in the browser; server-assisted tools handle files securely and do not sell your URLs or credentials.

What file formats are supported?

Standard M3U and M3U8 playlists are supported, including common IPTV attributes like group-title, tvg-logo, and tvg-id.

Will output work with TiviMate, IPTV Smarters, or Kodi?

Yes. Exported playlists follow common M3U conventions compatible with major IPTV players.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. The tool interface is mobile-responsive so you can upload and download from Android or iOS browsers.

How is this different from Stream Validator?

Health Lab analyzes the whole playlist structure and patterns; Stream Validator tests individual stream URLs in your browser.

Does it use credits?

Yes — credit cost depends on channel count and the rate shown on the tool page before you run a scan.
