Paste your M3U URL or xTream credentials and this tool tells you: is the playlist live? How many channels does it return? Is the EPG endpoint responding? Are there any dead channels? Everything runs in your browser — credentials never leave your device.
IPTV Link Checker
What this checker tells you
- Status: HTTP 200 (live) vs 401/403 (auth fail) vs 404 (provider down) vs 5xx (server error).
- Channels found: counts
#EXTINFlines in the playlist. Zero usually means wrong credentials. - Playlist size: in KB. Sudden shrinkage compared to a previous check = provider removed channels.
- Response time: how fast the playlist endpoint responds. Slow = overloaded servers, common during peak hours.
A note on browser CORS
Most IPTV providers don't enable CORS on their M3U endpoints, which prevents browsers from fetching them directly. If the check fails with a CORS error, that doesn't mean your link is broken — it just means we can't read it from the browser. The link likely still works in your IPTV app. SMART OTT enables CORS so our customers can use this tool.
