This repository is a large dataset suitable for testing either the vtmedia-schema project, the medialibrary project, or both. It can be used for software testing, schema testing, testing XML tools, or as a reference for authoring your own data.
Everything here is licensed under a Creative Commons license.
Here are two examples that could be done with the test data. In both cases, everything is done as a non-privileged user and the repository (or software) can be deleted if it's no longer required.
| Repository | Release | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| vtmedia-schema |  |
XSD/XML Validation Schema |
Download the schema repository using either a release, or the development branch. The download should be in a separate directory path.
There is a command line tool in the bin directory to run a validation check; it just needs to
know where the schema is. The tool requires xmllint, which most operating systems already
have installed.
The schema should also be usable by other tools, including xmlstarlet, PowerShell, VS Code, and most IDE development tools.
$ mkdir git
$ cd git
$ git clone https://github.com/cjcodeproj/mediadata.git
$ git clone https://github.com/cjcodeproj/vtmedia-schema.git
$ cd mediadata
$ export XSDPATH=~/git/vtmedia-schema/schemas
$ ./bin/movietest.sh
| Repository | PyPi Release | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| medialibrary |  |
Media API package |
Download the code repository from PyPi, or pull down the development branch if you are testing unreleased features. When the software is installed you can set an environmental variable with the path of the dataset.
$ mkdir git
$ cd git
$ git clone https://github.com/cjcodeproj/mediadata.git
$ python3 -m pip install --user medialibrary
$ export MEDIAPATH=~/git/mediadata
$ python3 -m media.tools.movies.list
The main branch of this repository will always be usable with the main branches of the schema and
Python code repository; meaning it will always be suitable for testing production code.
The development branch of this repository will almost always be consistent with the development
branches of the schema or the Python code.
Contributions for corrections to existing data will be accepted. New title submissions will not be accepted at this time.
If you want to generate new data for a given film, it should go in your own fork.
Future updates will be posted to this repository, but there is no set schedule. New titles will be added in batches, under a separate branch, and then merged by a pull request.
