# Streambench

> Browser-based workshop for testing IPTV, internet radio, HLS and local M3U/M3U8 playlists.

Streambench runs at https://streambench.trfny.com/. Local playlist files, XMLTV data, edits, favorites and history stay in the browser. Public provider catalogs are fetched through the Streambench Cloudflare Worker.

## Main capabilities

- Open local M3U and M3U8 playlists or paste their contents.
- Play supported video and audio streams, including HLS where the browser or bundled hls.js can handle it.
- Browse public IPTV and radio catalogs.
- Display playlist logos, tags and available M3U metadata.
- Import XMLTV data for now-and-next programme information.
- Search, edit, hide, favorite and export playlist entries locally.
- Inspect stream protocol, playback type and media diagnostics.

## Agent access

On browser hosts that implement WebMCP, Streambench exposes `read_stream_state`, `search_streams`, `start_stream_playback` and `stop_stream_playback`. These tools operate only on the currently loaded playlist and existing player state; they do not expose a general fetch, signing or relay interface.
