validate MPD file - using MPEG-DASH

Question

I have just started using MPEG-DASH (from the client side), following the c057623_ISO_IEC_23009-1_2012 spec.

Does anyone know if there is a public lib or open source to validate MPD file I receive?

I have no problem in processing the xml.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

You may want to check this MPEG-DASH MPD Validator The DASH Industry Forum provides great software resources for all things MPEG DASH.

Answer 2

Here another MPD Validator from dashif: DASHIF Validator.

In respect to the error "Cannot find the declaration of element ‘MPD'" provided by the mentioned MPEG-DASH MPD Validator, I observed it may happen even when the MPD tag is present, but it encounters some differences to the expected text, such as:

<MPD xmlns="urn:mpeg:DASH:schema:MPD:2011" ...>

instead of

<MPD xmlns="urn:mpeg:dash:schema:mpd:2011" ...>
