Flash Media Manifests for HTTP Dynamic Streaming: stream type and media renditions.

Loper is a free, minimal editor for macOS that opens Adobe HDS manifest (.f4m) instantly and colors every part of the file, so you find the value you need at a glance and can fix it right there. No IDE, no project to load, no gray wall of text.
