Server, transcoding task scheduling method and transcoding task execution method

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of data processing, and discloses a server, a transcoding task scheduling method and a transcoding task execution method. In the embodiment of the invention, the transcoding task scheduling method comprises the steps of receiving state information from at least one transcoding server; when a transcoding task request is received from astreaming media server, judging whether there is a target transcoding server or not according to the received state information, wherein the target transcoding task is a transcoding server with a health state result meeting preset conditions; and if there is a target transcoding server, sending address information of the target transcoding server to the streaming media server so as to enable the streaming media server to send a transcoding task to the target transcoding server according to the address information for the target transcoding server to execute the transcoding task. The embodimentof the invention further provides a transcoding task execution method. The embodiment of the invention can avoid a transcoding server in an unsatisfactory health state from performing the transcodingtask, thereby improving the transcoding quality, and improving the user experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of data processing, and in particular to a server, a method for scheduling and executing a transcoding task. Background technique [0002] After receiving the transcoding task from the client server, the streaming media server (for example, the live broadcast server) needs to schedule the transcoding task to the transcoding server for the transcoding server to perform the transcoding task. The existing streaming media server obtains the IP address of the transcoding server through DNS or HTTPDNS, so as to send the transcoding task to the transcoding server corresponding to the IP address. [0003] However, the inventors have found that at least the following problems exist in the prior art: in the existing scheduling method for transcoding tasks, the transcoding server to perform the transcoding task is acquired through DNS or HTTPDNS, and the scheduling method is relatively random ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the inventors have found that at least the following problems exist in the prior art: in the existing scheduling method for transcoding tasks, the transcoding server to perform the transcoding task is obtained through DNS or HTTPDNS, and the scheduling method is relatively random and blind. The current health status of the transcoding server is not ideal (for example, it is currently overloaded and / or the current processing capacity is low), which may seriously affect the quality of transcoding and affect the customer's experience
