[0002] With the rapid development of Internet technology, various video playback applications are more and more widely used in people's daily life. At this time, when users continue to watch various videos with high-definition quality , it needs to wait for a certain buffering time after the user clicks to play the video before the video can be played. Especially for the playback of short videos, the user has limited tolerance for the waiting time for broadcasting, which will directly affect the user's viewing experience

[0003] At present, in order to speed up the broadcasting of the video, usually during the playback of the current video, if the current video cache is completed, the next video will continue to be cached as needed, so that when the next video starts broadcasting, part of the content of the next video has already been cached , to ensure the fast start of the next video; however, the existing solution must wait until the current video cache is completed before continuing to cache the next video, and if the user is playing the current video and the current video has not been cached, it will directly switch to play the next video.
