Test data
|
|
|
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
It can be difficult to find test data, particularly for Transport Stream.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is especially difficult to work out what one is allowed to copy and put on
|
|
|
|
|
one's own website.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The doctests in the "python" directory (sibling to this data directory) need
|
|
|
|
|
at least *some* predictable data to play with.

|
|
For Linux users, a convenient ``setup.sh`` is provided, which will use
|
|
|
|
|
``wget`` to download a segment of `Elephant's Dream`_, ``unzip`` it, and
|
|
|
|
|
produce an ES file from (the resulting) TS file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is then used as test data by the doctests in the sibling ``python``
|
|
|
|
|
directory.

This appears to be a very useful resource. It includes a variety of HD
|
|
|
|
|
Transport Stream samples, including segments of a TS version of Elephant's
|
|
|
|
|
Dream.
