Spend less time debugging video

Debugging HLS and DASH streams is time consuming. It involves refreshing manifests, downloading segments, concatenating those segments with init segments, and countless runs of ffprobe.

debug.video does the tedious work for you. So you can get back to making the world of streaming media better.
