I can get the JSON sent by the streaming link, and get the mime type out of it, but this is not enough. I actually want to check if the m3u8 link is actually streaming. JSON is like this:
"description": "Adaptive",
"url": "http://media1-lh.maihd.net/i/English_1@123035/master.m3u8",
"mimetype": "application/vnd.apple.mpegURL"
I have been searching for a tool, or some code, preferably in Java or PHP, which could check the m3u8 link every few minutes to make sure the links is actually streaming. So far I have not been able to find any solution to this so asking it here if someone could help.
