Video playing method and device

Abstract

The invention provides a video playing method and device, which can solve the technical problem that the user experience is influenced because a decoding library needs to be frequently downloaded or updated and the operation is tedious when video data is played by an existing browser, and can be applied to a video data playing system. The method comprises the following steps: sending capability information of a browser to network equipment; the browser is installed on the terminal equipment, and the capability information indicates a decoding mode supported by the browser. Receiving first decoding information from the network equipment; the first decoding information is determined according to the capability information of the browser and the coding format of the video data requested by the terminal equipment. Video data from a network device is received. And decoding the video data according to the first decoding information, and playing the video data on the browser.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of video playback, in particular to a video playback method and device. Background technique

[0002] With the development of mobile networks, users can watch video data through a browser. Specifically, the user can access the address link of the video data through the browser, so as to play the video data on the visual interface of the browser.

[0003] However, existing browsers under different operating systems are quite different, and browsers of different versions under the same operating system are also quite different. There is a problem that the browser's ability to decode video data is insufficient, and users need to download plug-ins to realize playback. . Moreover, the encoding formats of video data from different sources are often different, which requires users to frequently download plug-ins corresponding to various encoding methods, and / or update the version of existing plug-ins, which is cu...
