''(Thanks to hdmkv for putting together these)''

Kodi users are a demanding bunch when it comes to media players with Kodi & having as-close-to-perfect video playback capabilities as possible. All videos should play smoothly and w/o distracting artifacts such as stutters, frame skips, improper framerates, macroblocking, and audio drop-outs.

Below is a collection of a/v clips for testing, pushing media player capabilities. Not all types, but the most widely used or critical types for home theater enthusiasts. [[w:Fair use|Fair use]] is claimed on all non-[[w:copyleft|copyleft]] clips, as their the purpose is only for testing, technical evaluation, and documentation.

== Library samples ==

=== Ned's fake movie library ===
:A zipped collection of 1,000 empty movie files, with NFO files, poster, and fanart for each entry. Various movies from different years, including sequels/sets, remakes, movies named the same but unrelated, various genres, and so on. Useful for testing things like library scanning speed, library navigation, filtering, etc.

:* https://www.dropbox.com/s/llciqryeqqk4t70/Test%20video%20library.zip?dl=0

=== Music library ===
: Just the one album for now but hope to increase this over time. It's a complete album in MP3 format, tagged with Musicbrainz Picard ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3) with extra genre, comment and composer tags for testing. Coverart is also included as a folder.jpg file. The album is licensed "Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported Creative Commons license" by the artist. You can download or pay for the album here if you like it. http://hungrylucy.com/album/pulse-of-the-earth

:* https://www.dropbox.com/s/rk8ue5fs49v5pnm/Creative_Commons_Music.zip?dl=0

=== Fake Sports TV Show library ===
: Here is a fake sports TV show library for use with the Kodi sports scraper. It includes a number of sports folders broken down into seasons and then events. This should work nicely with the current Sports TV scraper on the Kodi forums.

:* https://www.thesportsdb.com/Sports_fake_video_files.zip

=== Homebrew Games and Game ROMs ===
: These are locations to find a number of freely licensed "homebrew" games for classic consoles and stand-alone games that can be downloaded for testing with Kodi's upcoming [[Games|RetroRlayer]] feature. They include some homebrew games for NES, SNES, and GameBoy emulators, as well as a few homebrew game titles, such as; Cannonball, xrick, ChaiLove games and Lutro games.
