Video playing method and equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of communication and discloses a video playing method and video playing equipment. The method comprises the following steps: when a video playing request transmitted by a terminal is received, a server plays the name of the video included in the request and video processing capacity of the terminal according to the video, searches the video matching the video name from a database, and judges whether the searched video matching the video name includes a first video, wherein the video encoding format of the first video must accord with the video decoding format of the terminal, the audio encoding format of the first video accords with the audio decoding format of the terminal, if the first video is present, the URL of the first video is transmitted to the terminal by the server so that the first video can be played by the terminal according to the URL of the first video. Through the embodiment, the video required for broadcasting can be normally decoded by the terminal, and the success rate of playing the video by the terminal is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a video playing method and device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of Internet technology, OTT (Over The Top) services represented by Internet TV services and application stores emerge in an endless stream. Taking the Internet TV service as an example, at present, after the terminal device sends a video-on-demand request, the server will push the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the video resource to the terminal device according to the request, so that the terminal device can use the URL of the pushed video resource Play video. Usually, when a terminal device is playing a video, the server encodes the video resource and sends it to the terminal device in the form of a code stream. Therefore, the terminal device needs to decode the code stream to play the video. However, the decoding format of some terminal devices may be inconsistent w...

Problems solved by technology

However, the decoding format of some terminal devices may be inconsistent with the encoding format of the video resource sent by the server, so that the terminal device cannot decode the video resource, resulting in the terminal device not being able to play the video normally.

It can be seen that in the existing video playback method, some terminal devices may not be able to decode video resources, making the success rate of terminal devices to play videos lower.
