Embodiment Construction

[0016] The specific implementation manners of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] refer to figure 1 , illustrating a method for switching a streaming media server according to an embodiment of the present invention. Such as figure 1 As shown, the method for switching the streaming media server includes the following steps: S102, when the set-top box judges that the current streaming media server connected to it fails, report the fault information to the fault monitoring server, and record the current playing time point; S104, after the fault monitoring server receives the fault information, assign an effective streaming media server to the set-top box, and send the relevant information of the effective streaming media server to the set-top box; and S106, the set-top box establishes with the effective streaming media server according to the relevant information of the effective streaming media server Co...

Abstract

The method for switching stream media servers (SMS) includes following steps: S102, when determining the fault occurs at current SMS, set-top box reports information of fault to fault monitor server;S104, after receiving information of fault, the fault monitor server assigns valid SMS for the set-top box, and sends associated information of valid SMS to the set-top box: S106, based on associatedinformation of valid SMS, the set-top box builds connection with the valid SMS. In the invention, when abnormity occurs at SMS, the set-top box can switch to new SMS within short time so as not to cause stopping user's service.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, and more specifically relates to a method and system for switching streaming media servers. Background technique [0002] When the set-top box in the IPTV system plays media, it needs to receive media data from the streaming media server device at the central office in real time. When the streaming media server is abnormal, if fail-safe measures are not taken, the program watched by the user will be interrupted, and it may be impossible to watch the program again before the server is repaired, which will bring a great negative impact on the user experience. [0003] When actually building an IPTV system, generally multiple sets of streaming media servers are configured at the central office to back up each other. Therefore, if an appropriate fault recovery strategy is adopted, the above service interruption can be avoided. Contents of the invention [0004] In view of one or more problems de...
