### Common steps to verify issues

Very often people open issues related to: **stream not working, freezing, glitching, stopping and so on.** You can try the steps bellow, taking notes about the results:

* try to run the same example at [CDN](http://cdn.clappr.io)
* check the [cors headers at your servers](https://github.com/clappr/clappr/issues/703)
* try to run it on [hls.js demo page](https://video-dev.github.io/hls.js/demo/)
* try to run it on [flashls. demo page](http://www.flashls.org/latest/examples/chromeless/)
* try to run on your page the following source: `http://www.streambox.fr/playlists/x36xhzz/x36xhzz.m3u8`
* try different browsers/OS's to see if the problems remain
* try to use a tool to check the health of your stream (both input, ie: RTMP, and segmentation, ie: DASH or HLS): like [`mediainfo`](https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfo) (for instance you could: ` mediainfo http://www.example.com/my.m3u8`, Apple's [`mediastreamvalidator`](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/StreamingMediaGuide/UsingHTTPLiveStreaming/UsingHTTPLiveStreaming.html) too, [`hls-analyzer`](https://github.com/epiclabs-io/hls-analyzer) and etc.

##### HLS-Analyzer usage example
```bash
pip install m3u8
git clone https://github.com/epiclabs-io/hls-analyzer.git
cd hls-analyzer
python hls-analyzer.py http://www.streambox.fr/playlists/x36xhzz/x36xhzz.m3u8
