What this check proves
A successful browser HEAD request shows that the response is readable in this browser context. It does not prove that every media segment, license request, codec, or player integration will work.
When a result is blocked
Compare the origin policy, redirect target, response MIME type, and authentication requirement. A CORS failure can happen before a player can inspect the manifest.
Continue the diagnosis
Use the Manifest Inspector for playlist details, then follow the CORS troubleshooting guide for server-side fixes.
