Problems solved by technology

However, the performance overhead of server-side transcoding is very high, and it is a process of decoding and re-encoding.
The maximum number of channels supported by server transcoding will also be limited by hardware
If the server transcodes a certain stream, but no one watches it, it will be a huge waste of performance for the server

specific example

[0029] A method for maximizing the utilization of the performance of the transcoding server according to the present invention is introduced below.

example 1

[0031] Such as figure 2 As shown, according to the requirements of step S101, it is assumed that this example is a distribution network composed of three servers: a collection device, a source forwarding streaming media server, a transcoding server and an edge distribution node server. Among them, the source forwarding streaming media server and the transcoding server are in the same local area network to improve the transmission efficiency. According to step S102, the acquisition device first establishes a connection channel with the streaming media server for pushing 720P audio and video streams, and then maintains the connection through ping. According to step S103, it is assumed that the transcoding server in this example can transcode streams with two code rates, one is the stream of D1, and the other is the stream of cif. There are three connections established between the transcoding server and the source forwarding streaming media server, one is used to receive the o...

Abstract

The invention discloses an on-demand transcoding method for a streaming media server. A method for reporting the number of watching people stage by stage through the streaming media server is provided; when a user watches a certain video, only corresponding transcoding can be carried out; otherwise, connection is kept only through ping; therefore, when the video is not watched by the user, a transcoding program and the like are only in a standby state; not much performance occupation exists; and practical transcoding calculation is started only when the user requests. By means of the method, on-demand transcoding is really realized; the performance of a transcoding server is utilized maximally; the calculation capability of the transcoding server is utilized more effectively; and thus, enterprises are helped to save the number of the transcoding servers and save the expense of a lot of hardware.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of streaming media servers, in particular to systems with relatively large requirements on the transcoding performance of streaming media servers. [0002] technical background [0003] In the current Internet+ era, Internet live broadcasting has become very popular, and the quality of the collection end is getting better and better. The collection equipment can usually provide high-resolution and high-bit-rate audio and video streams. However, the network environment in China is relatively complicated. When the streaming end pushes a high-definition stream, the playback end may not be able to play it smoothly. At this time, it is necessary to perform transcoding on the server side to convert this high-definition stream into different resolutions and different bit rates to adapt to playback in various network environments. However, the performance overhead of server-side transcoding is very high, and it is a process o...
