I have a lot of problems with this tool as well. It's extremely misleading and doesn't really help you align yourself any closer to the latest hls authoring guidelines. What I find even more annoying is that Apple's official examples, although, a bit contrived, all have Must fix issues and a handful of Should fix issues. Apple's hls examples should not return any validation issues with their own tool. I mean what's up with their IDRs? Do they know something we don't know? They should really just pull this tool until their own streams can pass. It's great for pulling the metadata into a formatted table, but if they can't follow their own spec themselves this tool just sends developers down an unnecessary rabbit hole It would be nice if they also added a bit more verbosity to their issues, even link back to their own guidelines doc.
