Method for playing video, streaming media playing control server and system

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for playing a video, a streaming media playing control server and a video playing system and relates to the technical field of cloud storage. The method comprises the steps of judging whether a front end camera uploads a monitoring video file to a cloud server or not and extracting index information from the monitoring video file if the front end camera uploads the monitoring video file to the cloud server and generating and storing an index file; and when a playing request sent by a client is received, obtaining an index file corresponding to the playing request and sending a playing control instruction to the cloud server based on the index file. According to the method, the streaming media playing control server and the video playing system provided by the invention, through establishment of the independent index file for the video file, the problem that the playing buffer time is long due to the fact that an index stored at a tail part cannot be processed by a player is solved, and the problem that a monitoring video stored on a cloud cannot be played online, the timed playing at a fixed length cannot be realized, and a progress cannot be dragged when the monitoring video is played is solved, and various streaming media playing modes for video monitoring stored on the cloud are realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cloud storage, in particular to a method for video playback, a streaming media playback control server and a video playback system. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of video surveillance technology and cloud storage, business is increasingly becoming Internet-based, and innovation and integration of various technologies have emerged. Considering the security, stability, and saving of surveillance video, people are no longer satisfied with the traditional front-end video storage, but hope to save the video in the cloud. However, since most of the current surveillance videos are generated and uploaded in real time, they can only form post-indexes. Most mainstream players, such as wmplayer, cannot handle post-indexes, and the buffering time during playback is long. Storage service providers, such as Amazon, Huawei, etc., only provide file storage services, and do not have str...

Problems solved by technology

However, since most of the current surveillance videos are generated and uploaded in real time, they can only form post-indexes. Most mainstream players, such as wmplayer, cannot handle post-indexes, and the buffering time during playback is long. Storage service providers, such as Amazon, Huawei, etc., only provide file storage services, and do not have streaming playback, control and other service capabilities specifically for video recordings. Users can only download and then play, and cannot play online, scheduled playback, or drag and drop progress. It's very inconvenient to wait for the operation
