Where is the machine-readable manifest?
Use the manifest when you need stable names, SHA256 values, and URLs for automation.
Use in code — curl, Python, Node, wget
Copy any snippet directly into scripts, test suites, or CI pipelines. All URLs are stable and publicly accessible with no auth required.

Validation Methodology
- Confirm codec/container detection matches actual stream info.
- Test keyframe seek, subtitle loading, and fallback playback.
- Measure startup and buffering behavior across browsers.
