Comment (by lovor):

 I was having problem with setting playground demo of my plugin to work -
 more precisely, images did not show. I solved it by creating zip file with
 uploads folder and modifying exported WXR file to replace url's to reflect
 local file system. I also understand that it could be done in another way,
 by exporting database, replacing urls in database and importing it into
 playground.

 As a temporary solution to ease media transfer I propose following:

 1. Add property "rootImportURL" in blueprint json importWXR and runSql
 steps - if this property exists in these steps, URL-s would be modified as
 a part of import step in a way that root URL is replaced by new
 installation root URL. In playground, root URL is "/". So, for example
 "https://mydomain.com/" would be replaced by "/"
 2. Create documentation which explains steps how to incorporate media
 files in installation - I propose writing docs for current situation and
 afterwards they would be replaced by this easier solution which was
 proposed in 1.
