VLC Stream Tester

Test M3U Playlists Instantly To See If They Work

This site does not seem to be "Officially Affiliated" with VLC although it does require the VLC app installed to function.

Save Time With VLC Stream Tester

One of the biggest problems with free m3u files when building playlists is to verify first that they work, and VLC Stream Tester can help. By quickly checking those free m3u URLs that are often found online. Just copy and paste these links into the VLC Stream Tester Website and see if they still work.

This can save you from the aggravating task of typing them one letter at a time from a media streamer remote control and using the cumbersome onscreen keyboard.

One Very Cool Benefit To Using This Site

Not only does this site test your M3U playlists to verify they work. And this can be really important when building your own. It also keeps a running tab on the right side of the page of recently tested playlists.

Browse through this list and you may find some pretty cool playlists others have tested on their site. Not all may work but run them through the tester app and every once in a while you could find some good ones that will.

If you don't want to share you playlist with the public, we don't recommend using the VLC Stream Tester website for this reason. Instead, just download the VLC app on your Phone, PC or Tablet. And then use this app to test your own secret playlists discreetly instead. Also, join this group on MeWe to find some cool playlists that are working and have already been tested.
