Method and system for supporting media data of multi-coding formats

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for supporting media data of multiple formats, comprising: streaming media server makes real-time transmission protocol packing on the received media files of different coding formats, and converts them into media files of specific file formats, respectively, where the media files comprise media data information and index information; the streaming media server transmits the media data information to client end according to client-end operating commands and index information. Thus, it reduces system cost, system integrating difficulty and implemnts load balance between various streaming media servers. And it also discloses a streaming media server and a communication system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of streaming media, in particular to a method and system for supporting media data in multiple encoding formats. Background technique [0002] With the development of third-generation mobile communication technology and broadband network, network communication capabilities have been continuously improved, which has brought about a sharp increase in the number and types of services, greatly enriching users' lives. Among them, the streaming media technology is used to compress the multimedia data (image and sound) of the program and store it in the network server. By accessing the network server, the user can watch and listen to the program while downloading the program, without the need to download the program. The entire multimedia file can only be watched and listened to after the download is completed. Streaming media technology provides real-time high-quality video and audio effects in a low-bandwidth en...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the way of the prior art, the streaming media data encoded according to different encoding standards cannot be shared between streaming media servers, and each streaming media server can only play the supported encoding formats, even if there are few client users In this case, multiple servers are still required to provide services for the client, which increases the cost of the system; at the same time, if the system needs to support a new encoding format, a new server needs to be added, which not only further increases the cost of the system, but also increases the cost of the system. system integration difficulty

Moreover, various streaming media servers carry streaming media data in different encoding formats. At a certain moment, the load of one streaming media server may be light, while the other streaming media server is already overloaded, so the load balancing of streaming media servers cannot be achieved.
