# Sample HLS stream for testing, free, CC0 and hotlinkable 13 HLS test files from 244 B to 841.7 KB. Direct URLs, a SHA-256 for each and CC0, so curl and CI can fetch them with no signup and no keys. The page: . This is a sample HLS stream you can play straight from its URL: a VOD playlist and the segments it lists. | Path | Size | MIME | Properties | |---|---|---|---| | [`hls/720p-10s/index.m3u8`](https://loremfile.dev/hls/720p-10s/index.m3u8) | 258 B | `application/vnd.apple.mpegurl` | 5 segments, 2 s target duration, VOD | HLS, Apple's HTTP Live Streaming, delivers video as a playlist of short segments that a player fetches one by one, so it cannot be tested with a single file. `hls/720p-10s/index.m3u8` uses relative segment URIs and closes with an `#EXT-X-ENDLIST` tag. The segments sit beside it, from `hls/720p-10s/seg-000.ts` to `hls/720p-10s/seg-004.ts`, each carrying H.264 video and AAC audio in an MPEG-2 transport stream. Because the URIs are relative, the stream works from any host that serves the same layout, including a local mirror. `hls/multi-bitrate/master.m3u8` is a master playlist over two renditions: the 720p stream above and a 360p one in `hls/360p-10s/`. Its BANDWIDTH, RESOLUTION and CODECS are read from the segments themselves, so a player choosing between renditions chooses on real numbers. Point a player such as hls.js, Safari or ExoPlayer at the playlist URL to test playback, seeking and segment fetching. Every segment is served with open CORS, so a player on another origin can load it.
