Method and device for continuing network video transmission

Abstract

Disclosed are a network video retransmitting method and device. The network video retransmitting method may comprise: in the retransmitting process of a network video, detecting whether an original source address in original index information about the network video fails or not, and if so, acquiring current index information about the network video; according to the current index information, determining a current source address corresponding to a video segment to be retransmitted; and downloading the video segment to be retransmitted from the determined current source address. It can be seen that in this solution, when detecting the failure of an original source address in original index information about a network video, the prompt of the failure of video retransmitting is not fed back to a user, but current index information about the network video is acquired, and according to the current index information, a video segment of the network video to be transmitted is downloaded, so as to realize the retransmission of the network video, thereby improving the downloading experience of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of the Internet, in particular to a method and device for continuing network video transmission. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, online video sites usually store online videos in the form of multiple video segments, and construct index information that includes the corresponding relationship between the duration of each video segment and the source address; when a user downloads an online video through a video download client At this time, the index information corresponding to the network video will be downloaded first, and then each video segment will be downloaded according to the source address recorded in the index information. After the download of all video segments is completed, the download of the entire network video will be completed. For example: the HLS (HTTP Live Streaming, HTTP Live Streaming) format network video in the network video site is just saved and transmitted through the above-...

Problems solved by technology

And if the user does not download the entire network video at one time, when the network video needs to be continued, the source address may change, and the remaining network video segments will not be able to be downloaded

For example, when a user downloaded an online video before, the source address of each video segment recorded in the downloaded index information was 220.181.61.213. However, after the source address was updated by the online video site, the source address of each video segment changed 220.11.16.31; when resuming online video, the video download client will download the video segment to be resumed based on the previously downloaded index information, but because the source address of the video segment has changed, the video download client will not be able to detect the Resume the video segment. At this time, the user will be fed back with a reminder that the video continuation fails, which will affect the user's download experience.
