A toolkit for analyzing and validating ST2110-compliant IP media streams from captured network packets.
LIST is a Live IP Software Toolkit that helps broadcast engineers analyze and validate IP media streams against the SMPTE ST2110 standards. It processes network packet captures (pcap files) to verify compliance and provide detailed stream analysis for video, audio, and ancillary data. The toolkit addresses the need for reliable validation tools in the transition to IP-based broadcast facilities.
Broadcast engineers, media systems integrators, and technical teams implementing IP-based broadcast infrastructure who need to verify ST2110 compliance and analyze media streams.
Developers choose LIST because it provides specialized, open-source tools for ST2110 validation that are otherwise only available in commercial broadcast analysis systems. Its browser-based interface and ability to process pcap files make it accessible for on-demand analysis without specialized hardware.

Quickly verifies if media streams comply with SMPTE ST2110 standards for video, audio, and ancillary data, as shown in the pcap overview feature.
Allows drilling down into individual streams for in-depth timing and packet analysis, including video and audio timing characteristics documented in the README.
Provides a web application for analyzing pcap files with an online demo available, making it accessible without specialized hardware.
Offers customization opportunities with developer documentation for compilation and extension, as highlighted in the development guides.
The project is no longer actively maintained, leading to an ageing codebase with outdated dependencies and potential security vulnerabilities, as warned in the README.
Limited to processing pre-captured pcap files; cannot handle real-time monitoring or analysis of live IP media streams.
Requires Docker and compilation steps for local deployment, which may be cumbersome compared to plug-and-play solutions, as noted in the installation guide.
