Dev builds self-healing live video engine to fix broken IPTV streams
A developer created a live video streaming engine that automatically validates and repairs unreliable IPTV streams. The system maintains a buffer of 20 pre-validated streams and uses dual-gate checks to ensure playback. It also implements server-aware scheduling to avoid repeatedly testing broken sources.
