Limits to know

CORS: The browser must be allowed to fetch the playlist and segments. Many CDNs block third-party origins.
Auth and tokens: Signed or cookie-gated streams usually will not play here.
Codecs: Playback depends on what the browser can decode (for example HEVC support varies).

For structural checks without playback, use the HLS Manifest Validator.
