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. 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 this free tool to download.

Resources for Additional Test Clips or Samples

Note: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu can even be added to Kodi as a video source, for easy loading, if you have a fast enough connection.

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.

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

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.

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 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.
