## What it is
A high-performance IPTV playlist checker that validates whether channels in M3U/M3U8/TXT playlists are available, deployable via Docker or CLI. It includes a web management UI, HTTP plus FFmpeg-based detection, scheduled background tasks, and export of working IPv4/IPv6 channel lists.

## Use cases
- check if my iptv m3u playlist links are still working
- filter dead channels out of an m3u8 playlist
- periodically validate iptv sources and remove unavailable streams
- export only working ipv4 or ipv6 channels from a playlist
- run playlist quality checks automatically in ci/cd
- manage iptv playlist checks through a web dashboard

## When to choose
- you need to validate large M3U/M3U8/TXT playlists and prune dead streams
- you want a self-hosted Docker service with a web UI and scheduled checks
- you need accurate results combining HTTP checks with FFmpeg stream verification
- you want to export cleaned playlists split by IPv4/IPv6 or resolution

## When to avoid
- you need to actually play or record IPTV streams rather than check availability
- you want a lightweight script without Docker or a web backend
- you need a full IPTV player or EPG viewer rather than a checker
