We expect most/all videos to play smoothly, in the proper mode, and w/o distracting artifacts such as stutters, frame skips, improper framerates, macroblocking, and audio drop-outs.

Kodi users are demanding enthusiasts when it comes to media players with Kodi and having as-close-to-perfect video playback capabilities as possible. We expect most/all videos to play smoothly, in the proper mode, 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. Fair use is claimed on all non-copyleft clips, as their the purpose is only for testing, technical evaluation, and documentation.

For any YouTube video, use 4K Video Downloader or JDownloader2 to download and save.

The album is licensed "Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported Creative Commons license" by the artist.

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.
