Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of video playback, and in particular to a video playback method, device, electronic device and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the development of Internet technology, more and more users like to watch videos on the Internet. However, when there is no Internet connection or the network quality is poor, a no-network prompt will appear on the video playback interface, such as "Unable to connect to the network, please try again later", and users cannot watch the video normally. In related technologies, it is necessary to wait until the network connection is restored before the video playback interface can continue to play the video. However, since the time for the network connection to be restored is unpredictable, users may need to wait for a long time before they can continue to watch the video, and the user's video viewing experience is poor. Summary of the invention

[0072] In order to enable ordinary persons in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0073] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0074] It should be noted that the information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.), data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) and signals involved in this disclosure are all authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions. For example, the cache space involved in this application is obtained with full authorization.

[0075] The following introduces an implementation environment of a video playback method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment of a video playback method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, see Figure 1 , the implementation environment includes: a terminal 101 and a server 102.

[0076] The terminal 101 may be at least one of a smart phone, a smart watch, a desktop computer, a laptop, a virtual reality terminal, an augmented reality terminal, a wireless terminal, and a laptop computer. The terminal 101 has a communication function and can access the Internet. The terminal 101 may generally refer to one of a plurality of terminals. This embodiment is only illustrated by the terminal 101. Those skilled in the art may know that the number of the above terminals may be more or less. The terminal 101 may run various types of applications, such as a video playback application. The terminal 101 can play a video based on the running video playback application.

[0077] The server 102 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed file system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 102 can send the video to the terminal 101 for video playback.

[0078] The server 102 and the terminal 101 can be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Optionally, the number of the above-mentioned terminals 101 and servers 102 can be more or less, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Of course, the server 102 can also include other functional servers to provide more comprehensive and diversified services.

[0079] The above introduces the implementation environment of a video playback method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The following introduces a video playback method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 is a flowchart of a video playing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the method is executed by the terminal 101, and includes the following steps:

[0080] In step 201, the terminal displays network abnormality information in the first video playback interface, where the network abnormality information is used to indicate that the terminal's network does not meet playback conditions.

[0081] The first video playback interface refers to a video playback interface corresponding to a video that fails to play when there is no network connection or the network quality is poor. The playback condition refers to a normal network connection.

[0082] In step 202, the terminal plays the video based on the video cached in the cache space of the terminal.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, since the videos cached in the cache space are stored locally in the terminal, they can be played independently of the network and are not affected by network disconnection or weak network.

[0084] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when there is no network connection or the network quality is poor, the cached video is obtained from the cache space of the terminal for playback. Since the cached video does not depend on the network, it can be played normally even when the network is abnormal. Therefore, by playing the cached video, the time gap when the user waits for the network connection to be restored can be filled, thereby reducing the user's waiting time and improving the user's video viewing experience.

[0085] Above Figure 2The above-mentioned is only the basic process of the present disclosure. The video playback process in the above step 202 can update the video address stream based on the cache address information of the video cached in the cache space, thereby realizing continuous video playback. Among them, the cache address information refers to the address of the cached video in the cache space of the terminal; the video address stream includes the address information of multiple videos to be played, and the terminal obtains the video from the corresponding address based on the address information in the video address stream, and plays it in the video playback interface. The terminal updates the video address stream in the following ways: inserting stream, replacing video and cutting stream, among which, inserting stream refers to inserting the cache address information of the target video into the address information of the currently playing video in the current video address stream; replacing video refers to replacing the address information of the currently playing video in the current video address stream with the cache address information of the target video; cutting stream refers to generating a new video address stream based on the cache address information of the target video, and replacing the current video address stream with the newly generated video address stream.

[0086] The following takes updating the video address stream by inserting a stream as an example to introduce an embodiment of a video playback method provided by the present application. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 1 is a flowchart of a video playback method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is executed by the above-mentioned terminal 101 and includes the following steps:

[0087] In step 301, the terminal displays network abnormality information in the first video playback interface, where the network abnormality information is used to indicate that the terminal's network does not meet playback conditions.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal plays the video by connecting to the Internet. If the network does not meet the playback conditions, the video playback will fail. Accordingly, the terminal can periodically detect the network, such as whether it is connected to the Internet, or the network speed. If it is not connected to the Internet or the network speed does not reach the target network speed, it means that the terminal's network does not meet the playback conditions, and the terminal displays network abnormality information in the first video playback interface. In the above embodiment, the network speed is used as an example to introduce the situation where the network does not meet the playback conditions. In some embodiments, other indicators for evaluating network quality such as packet loss rate and network delay can be used to determine whether the network meets the playback conditions. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0089] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 4 is a schematic diagram of displaying network abnormality information in a first video playback interface proposed in an embodiment of the present application. The first video playback interface 401 displays network abnormality information 402, and the network abnormality information 402 is "Unable to connect to the network, please try again later". The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific content of the network abnormality information 402.

[0090] In step 302, the terminal selects at least one candidate video from the videos cached in the cache space based on the video date condition.

[0091] The videos cached in the cache space may include any of the following videos:

[0092] The first type: favorite videos of the logged-in object on the terminal. Favorite videos refer to videos that are added to favorites in response to the favorite operation performed by the logged-in object on the video, and the favorites include at least one favorite video. In some embodiments, when a favorite video is added to the favorites, the terminal caches the favorite video; in other embodiments, the terminal detects the number of favorite videos added to the favorites, and when the number of favorite videos added to the favorites reaches a preset threshold, the terminal caches the multiple favorite videos added; in yet other embodiments, the terminal periodically caches the favorite videos added to the favorites, such as caching the favorite videos added to the favorites every other week. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the timing of caching favorite videos.

[0093] The second type: similar videos to favorite videos. Among them, similar videos to favorite videos refer to videos that have at least one attribute in common with the favorite video, and the attribute can be the location attribute of the video or the category attribute of the video. Among them, the videos have the same location attribute, such as some videos released in the same city have the same location attribute; the same category attribute of the videos means that the content of the videos belongs to the same category, such as some pet videos belong to the same category. The process of the terminal obtaining similar videos to the favorite video includes: the terminal obtains the location attribute and the category attribute of the favorite video; based on at least one filtering condition in the location attribute and the category attribute, the video to be played is filtered to obtain at least one similar video. In some embodiments, for each new favorite video added to the favorites, the terminal obtains at least one similar video of the favorite video and caches the at least one similar video; in other embodiments, the terminal periodically obtains similar videos to the favorite video and caches them.

[0094] The third type: videos cached by the terminal based on the object cache operation, that is, videos cached by the user himself.

[0095] In some embodiments, for the above three types of videos, the user most wants to watch the videos cached by himself, followed by the favorite videos, and finally the similar videos of the favorite videos. Since the cache space of the terminal is limited, when the terminal caches the above three types of videos, it will automatically cache the favorite videos on the basis of reserving a certain space to meet the storage requirements of the user's possible cache operations, and finally cache the similar videos of the favorite videos. In some embodiments, the terminal detects the occupancy rate of the cache space. When the occupancy rate of the cache space is lower than the preset value, the terminal first caches the favorite videos until the occupancy rate of the cache space reaches the preset value; if the occupancy rate of the cache space is still lower than the preset value after the favorite videos are cached, the terminal caches the similar videos of the cached favorite videos until the occupancy rate of the cache space reaches the preset value; when the occupancy rate of the cache space is higher than the preset threshold, the terminal screens out similar videos that have not been played within the preset time period from the cache space according to the playback time of the video, and removes the screened similar videos from the cache space. Through the solution in the above embodiment, the terminal dynamically updates the videos in the cache space, and can cache more videos while ensuring that the cache space is sufficient, and make the newly cached videos more in line with the user's viewing preferences.

[0096] The video date condition refers to that the video date is within the target time period. The target time period may be a historical time period with the current system time as the end point, that is, a recently cached video may be obtained. The video date refers to the cache date of the video.

[0097] In some embodiments, the target time period is the time period from the last occurrence of the network anomaly to the current system time. Accordingly, the terminal filters out at least one candidate video from the cached video, including: obtaining the last occurrence time of the terminal's network anomaly, and based on the occurrence time and the video date of each video, filtering out videos whose video dates are after the occurrence time from the cached videos, and the filtered videos are the candidate videos. The at least one candidate video filtered out based on the above method does not include videos that may have been played when the last network anomaly occurred, thereby improving the accuracy of cached video playback, avoiding repeated playback of cached videos, and thus avoiding the switching operation required due to repeated playback, reducing the user's operating costs, and improving the user's video viewing experience.

[0098] The above step 302 is an implementation method of selecting at least one candidate video from the cached videos based on the video date condition. In some embodiments, this step can also be performed based on other implementation methods, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0099] In step 303, the terminal sorts at least one candidate video based on at least one sorting condition of the number of play times and the completion rate, and determines the target video based on the sorting result.

[0100] Among them, the number of plays refers to the number of clicks on the candidate video by the logged-in object, and the completion rate refers to the ratio of the viewing time of the candidate video to the total viewing time of the candidate video by the logged-in object. The number of plays and the completion rate are used to indicate the degree of liking of the candidate video by the logged-in object. When the sorting condition is the number of plays, the process of the terminal sorting at least one candidate video is as follows: the terminal obtains the number of plays of each candidate video; the terminal arranges the number of plays of each candidate video in descending order, and determines the candidate video with the first order as the target video. When the sorting condition is the completion rate, the process of the terminal sorting at least one candidate video is as follows: the terminal obtains the viewing time and total time of each candidate video; the terminal calculates the completion rate of each candidate video respectively; the terminal arranges the completion rate of each candidate video in descending order, and determines the candidate video with the first order as the target video. Of course, the above-mentioned number of clicks and completion rate can also be the number of clicks and completion rate of multiple objects on the platform, so as to screen the candidate videos by their popularity on the platform, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0101] In the above embodiment, the candidate videos are sorted based on only one of the sorting conditions, namely, the number of plays and the completion rate. In other embodiments, the candidate videos are sorted based on both the number of plays and the completion rate, and then the target video is determined. The determination process is as follows: the number of plays, viewing time and total viewing time of each candidate video are obtained; the completion rate of each candidate video is calculated based on the viewing time and total viewing time of each candidate video; the terminal obtains the weights of the two indicators, namely, the number of plays and the completion rate; based on the weights, the number of plays and the completion rate of each candidate video are weighted and summed to obtain the playback score of each candidate video; the playback scores of each candidate video are arranged in descending order, and the candidate video with the first order is determined as the target video. Based on the above method, the target video is determined, and by calculating the playback scores of each candidate video, a video with the highest user preference is selected from multiple candidate videos as the target video, so that users can watch videos during the period of waiting for the network connection to be restored, and the played videos are more attractive to users, thereby improving the user's viewing experience.

[0102] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, when calculating the playback score of each candidate video, only the number of playbacks and the completion rate are used. In some embodiments, other indicators such as the number of collections and the number of likes of the candidate video can also be used to calculate the playback score of the candidate video. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0103] In the above embodiment, only the candidate video ranked first in the sorting result is determined as the target video, that is, the number of the determined target video is one. In other embodiments, the number of target videos can be set to determine multiple target videos based on the sorting result. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of target videos.

[0104] The above step 303 is an implementation method of sorting at least one candidate video to determine the target video. In some embodiments, this step can also be performed based on other implementation methods, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0105] The above steps 302 and 303 are one implementation of determining the target video from the videos cached in the cache space. In some embodiments, this step can also be performed based on other implementations, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0106] The above steps 301 to 303 are introduced by taking the example that the terminal determines the target video after the first video playback interface displays the network abnormality information. In other embodiments, the terminal periodically determines the target video from the videos cached in the cache space. After the first video playback interface displays the network abnormality information, the terminal directly updates the video address stream based on the cache address information of the predetermined target video, and does not need to start determining the target video after the network abnormality occurs, thus saving the response time from displaying the network abnormality information to playing the cached video. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the timing of displaying the network abnormality information and determining the target video.

[0107] In step 304, the terminal obtains cache address information of the target video.

[0108] The cache address information refers to the address of the target video in the cache space, that is, the access path of the target video. The cache address information may include the offset value and length of the target video in the cache space, or the starting position and ending position of the target video in the cache space, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0109] In step 305, the terminal inserts the cache address information of the target video after the address information of the currently playing video in the video address stream.

[0110] The video address stream includes address information of multiple videos to be played. The process after the terminal inserts the cache address information of the target video into the address information of the currently played video in the video address stream includes: the terminal obtains the video address stream; the terminal locates the position of the address information of the currently played video in the video address stream; the terminal inserts the cache address information of the target video into the position to update the video address stream.

[0111] It should be noted that when updating the video address stream, the cache address information of only one target video may be inserted at a time, or the cache address information of multiple target videos may be inserted at a time, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0112] The above step 305 is an implementation method of updating the video address stream based on the cache address information of the target video. In some embodiments, this step can also be performed based on other implementation methods, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0113] In step 306, in response to the video play function of the first video play interface being triggered, the terminal jumps from the first video play interface to the second video play interface.

[0114] The triggering of the video playback function of the first video playback interface means that the terminal detects that the login object has performed a video playback operation on the first video playback interface or that the first video playback interface meets the preset video playback timing. The video playback operation may be a click operation on the video playback control or a slide operation on the first video playback interface. The preset video playback timing may be when the duration of the terminal's network not meeting the playback conditions reaches the target duration or when the countdown on the video playback prompt bar on the first video playback interface ends.

[0115] The following takes the example that the terminal detects that a sliding operation is performed on the first video playback interface on the first video playback interface to introduce step 306. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 FIG. 1 is an operation diagram of a video playback method provided according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown in the middle left picture, Figure 5 The middle left figure includes a first video playback interface 501, and the first video playback interface 501 includes network abnormality information 502. The login object performs a sliding operation on the first video playback interface 501; the terminal detects the sliding operation; the terminal jumps from the first video playback interface 501 to the second video playback interface 503, such as Figure 5 As shown in the middle right picture, Figure 5 The middle right picture includes a second video playback interface 503 , in which a target video 504 is played.

[0116] In step 307, the terminal plays the target video in the second video playback interface based on the updated video address stream.

[0117] The video address stream includes address information of multiple videos to be played. When the network meets the playback conditions, the process of the terminal playing the video based on the video address stream is as follows: the terminal obtains an address information in the video address stream; the terminal obtains the video to be played based on the address information; the terminal plays the video to be played in the video playback interface. Each time the logged-in object performs a sliding operation, the terminal obtains a video to be played based on the address information in the video address stream according to the above steps. When the network does not meet the playback conditions, taking the example of updating the video address stream by inserting one target video at a time, the process of playing the target video in the second video playback interface based on the updated video address stream for the terminal includes: the terminal inserts the cache address information of a target video after the address information of the current video; after the video playback function of the first video playback interface is triggered, the terminal obtains the target video from the cache space based on the cache address information of the target video in the video address stream; the terminal decodes the obtained target video, and plays the decoded target video frame by frame in the second video playback interface; after the target video is played, the terminal detects whether the network meets the playable conditions, and if so, stops inserting the cache address information of the next target video into the video address stream; if not, continues to insert the next target video into the video address stream for playback until all target videos are played or the network meets the playable conditions.

[0118] The above embodiment is explained by taking the insertion of a cache address information pair of a target video at a time as an example. In some embodiments, the terminal inserts multiple target videos to be played in the video address stream at one time, and only detects the network after the inserted multiple target videos are played. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0119] Wherein, when the address information of the target video is the offset value and length of the target video in the cache space, the process of the terminal obtaining the target video includes: the terminal offsets the offset value based on the starting address of the cache space, and the terminal calculates the starting address of the target video in the cache space; the terminal queries the starting address; the terminal starts from the starting address and reads the data of the length to obtain the target video. When the address information of the target video is the starting address and the end address of the target video in the cache space, the process of the terminal obtaining the target video includes: the terminal queries the starting address; the terminal starts to read the data from the starting address and reads to the end address to obtain the target video.

[0120] The above steps 306 to 307 are a way of implementing the target video based on the updated video address stream in response to the video playback function of the first video playback interface being triggered. In some embodiments, this step can also be performed based on other implementations, which are not limited in the present application.

[0121] It should be noted that the above steps 301 to 307 are a process of introducing a video playback method provided in an embodiment of the present application, in which after the first video playback interface displays network abnormality information, the terminal first determines the target video from the cache space, and after the video playback function in the first video playback interface is triggered, the terminal plays the target video. In other embodiments, the video playback process is: the first video playback interface displays network abnormality information, and after the video playback function in the first video playback interface is triggered, the terminal determines the target video from the cache space, and then the terminal plays the target video.

[0122] In the above steps 301 to 307, in response to the video playback function of the first video playback interface being triggered, the terminal directly jumps from the first video playback interface to the second video playback interface. In some embodiments, after step 305, in order to remind the user that the video being played is the target video, a video playback prompt bar is also displayed in the first video playback interface, such as the following steps: the terminal displays a video playback prompt bar in the first video playback interface, and the video playback prompt bar is used to prompt that the target video is about to be played, and the video playback prompt bar includes a control to prevent playback.

[0123] In some embodiments, the video playback prompt bar also displays the network status and the playback countdown of the target video. The blocking playback control is a click control for blocking the playback of the target video. The blocking playback control can be located anywhere on the video playback prompt bar, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0124] In some embodiments, once the terminal detects that the network does not meet the playback conditions, the video playback prompt bar is displayed in the first video playback interface, that is, the terminal displays the network abnormality information and the video playback prompt bar on the first video playback interface at the same time; in other embodiments, the terminal displays the video playback prompt bar only after the network abnormality information is displayed for a certain period of time. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the timing of displaying the video playback prompt bar.

[0125] Since the user can choose whether to play the cached video, in some embodiments, after executing the above step of displaying the video playback prompt bar in the first video playback interface, steps 306 and 307 are not executed, but the following steps are executed: in response to a click operation on a control that blocks playback, the terminal does not play the target video.

[0126] Among them, the terminal does not play the target video including: the terminal does not jump from the first video playback interface to the second video playback interface; the terminal stops the playback countdown of the target video on the video playback prompt bar; the terminal does not continue to display the video playback prompt bar; the terminal keeps displaying the first video playback interface.

[0127] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 FIG. 1 is an operation diagram of a video playback method provided according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 As shown in the middle left picture, Figure 6 The middle left figure includes a first video playback interface 601, which includes network abnormality information 602 and a video playback prompt bar 603. The video playback prompt bar 603 includes a stop playback control 604. The video playback prompt bar 603 prompts that the terminal network is not good and the next video will be automatically played after 3 seconds. Figure 6 As shown in the middle right figure, in response to the end of the countdown of the target video playback on the video playback prompt bar 603, the terminal jumps from the first video playback interface 601 to the second video playback interface 605, and plays the target video 605 in the second video playback interface 605. In response to the click operation on the playback prevention control 604, the terminal does not play the target video and keeps displaying the first video playback interface.

[0128] In the above steps 305 to 307, the video in the cache space is played by detecting that a sliding operation has been performed on the first video playback interface. In the above step of displaying the video playback prompt bar, the video in the cache space is played by the countdown on the video playback prompt bar on the first video playback interface ending. In some embodiments, the video in the cache space is played by detecting that a click operation has been performed on the video playback control on the first video playback interface, such as Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 FIG. 1 is an operation diagram of a video playback method provided according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 As shown in the middle left picture, Figure 7 The middle left figure includes a first video playback interface 701, which includes network abnormality information 702 and a video switching control 703. Figure 7 As shown in the middle right figure, in response to a click operation on the video switching control 703 , the terminal jumps from the first video playback interface 701 to the second video playback interface 704 , and plays the target video 705 in the second video playback interface 704 .

[0129] It should be noted that the embodiments corresponding to the above three triggering methods all only use any one of the three triggering methods, namely, detecting that a sliding operation has been performed on the first video playback interface, the countdown on the video playback prompt bar on the first video playback interface has ended, and detecting that a click operation has been performed on the video playback control on the first video playback interface, to trigger. In some embodiments, the triggering method includes two or more of the above three triggering methods. In other embodiments, other triggering methods besides the above triggering methods are also used, such as when the duration of the terminal network not meeting the playback conditions reaches the target duration. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0130] The above-mentioned step of displaying the video playback prompt bar in the first video playback interface only displays the video playback prompt bar in the first video playback interface. In other embodiments, a playback source prompt bar is also displayed in the second video playback interface to prompt the user that the currently playing video is the target video, such as the following steps: the terminal displays a playback source prompt bar in the second video playback interface, and the playback source prompt bar is used to prompt that the currently playing target video comes from the cache space.

[0131] In some embodiments, the playback source prompt bar is displayed at the bottom of the second video playback interface to prevent interference with the playback of the target video on the second video playback interface. The location of the playback source prompt bar can be determined based on the user's operating habits and does not interfere with the playback of the target video, and this embodiment of the application does not limit this. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The middle right picture includes a second video playback interface 605 , and a playback source prompt bar 607 is located at the bottom of the second video playback interface 605 .

[0132] In the above steps, the video played in the second video playback interface is determined by the terminal according to the video address stream. In order to provide the user with the function of actively selecting the target video, in some embodiments, after executing the above step of displaying the playback source prompt bar, the following steps 1 to 4 are also included:

[0133] Step 1: In response to a click operation on the playback source prompt bar, the terminal displays a list page in the second video playback interface, and the list page is used to display the target video.

[0134] Among them, the list page is a page that is suspended with the second video playback interface, and the target videos on the list page are arranged in columns, that is, each row displays a target video, and the number of rows is equal to the number of displayed target videos. In some embodiments, the target videos on the list page are arranged in the form of a matrix, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the arrangement of the target videos on the list page. In addition, the list page can display all the target videos, or only part of the target videos, and can also display other videos in the cache space except the target video, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application. In addition, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the size of the list page, and the position of the list page on the first video playback interface. Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 It is an operation diagram of a video playing method provided according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 8 The middle left figure includes a second video playback interface 801, which includes a currently playing target video 802 and a playback source prompt bar 803. Figure 8 As shown in the middle right figure, in response to a click operation on the playback source prompt bar 803, a list page 804 is displayed at the bottom of the second video playback interface 801. In the list page 804, four target videos are displayed in a column form, including a currently playing target video 802 and three target videos 805-807 to be played.

[0135] Step 2: Based on the display order of the target videos on the list page, the terminal plays the videos.

[0136] The display order of the target videos on the list page is the arrangement order of the cache address information of the target videos in the video address stream. The terminal plays the video based on the display order, that is, plays the video based on the updated video address stream. The process of the terminal playing the video based on the updated video address stream is the same as step 307 and will not be described in detail.

[0137] In the above step 2, the terminal determines the target video to be played according to the display order. In some embodiments, the user can manually switch the display order of the list page to switch the play order of the target video, and can also select the video to be played by himself, as shown in steps 3 and 4.

[0138] Step 3: In response to the sequence switching operation performed on the target videos displayed on the list page, the terminal adjusts the play sequence of the target videos displayed on the list page.

[0139] The sequential switching operation implemented on the multiple target videos displayed on the list page refers to swapping the arrangement positions of the multiple target videos on the list page. The terminal rearranges the cache address information of the target videos in the video address stream based on the swapped arrangement order, so that the terminal adjusts the playback order of the target videos displayed on the list page.

[0140] Step 4: In response to a selection operation performed on any target video displayed on the list page, the terminal plays the selected target video in the second video playback interface.

[0141] Among them, the process of playing the selected target video in the first video playback interface of the terminal includes: the terminal detects the selection operation implemented on any one of multiple target videos; the terminal obtains the cache address information of the selected target video; the terminal replaces the cache address information of the currently playing target video in the video address stream with the cache address information of the selected target video; the terminal obtains the selected target video; the terminal plays the selected target video on the second video playback interface.

[0142] In the above embodiment, a video playback method provided by an embodiment of the present application is introduced by taking updating the video address stream by inserting a stream as an example. The following is an introduction to a video playback method provided by an embodiment of the present application by taking updating the video address stream by replacing a video as an example. Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 is a flowchart of a video playback method provided according to an exemplary embodiment, the method is executed by the terminal 101, and includes the following steps:

[0143] In step 901, the terminal displays network abnormality information in the first video playback interface, where the network abnormality information is used to indicate that the terminal's network does not meet playback conditions.

[0144] In step 902, the terminal selects at least one candidate video from the videos cached in the cache space based on the video date condition.

[0145] In step 903, based on at least one of the ranking conditions of the number of play times and the completion rate, the terminal ranks at least one candidate video, and determines a target video based on the ranking result.

[0146] In step 904, the terminal obtains cache address information of the target video.

[0147] The above steps 901 to 904 are similar to steps 301 to 304 and are not described in detail.

[0148] In step 905, the terminal replaces the address information of the currently played video in the current video address stream with the cache address information of the target video.

[0149] Among them, the process of the terminal replacing the address information of the currently playing video in the current video address stream with the cached address information of the target video includes: the terminal obtains the video address stream; the terminal locates the position of the address information of the currently playing video in the video address stream; the terminal replaces the address information of the currently playing video at that position with the cached address information of the target video.

[0150] It should be noted that when updating the video address stream, the cache address information of only one target video can be used at a time to replace the address information of the currently playing video, or the cache address information of multiple target videos can be used at a time to replace it. This embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0151] The above step 905 is an implementation method of updating the video address stream based on the cache address information of the target video. In some embodiments, this step can also be performed based on other implementation methods, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0152] In step 906, the terminal displays a video play prompt bar in the first video play interface, where the video play prompt bar is used to prompt that the cached video is about to be played.

[0153] The above step 906 is similar to the step of displaying a video playback prompt bar in the first video playback interface in the above embodiment of updating the video address stream by inserting a stream, and will not be described in detail.

[0154] In step 907, in response to a click operation on the video playback prompt bar, the terminal displays a list page in the first video playback interface, where the list page is used to display the target video.

[0155] The above step 907 is executed in the same manner as step one in the above embodiment of updating the video address stream by inserting streams, with the difference being that: the triggering condition for displaying the list page in step one is that a click operation is performed on the playback source prompt bar in the second video playback interface, while the triggering condition for displaying the list page in step 907 is that a click operation is performed on the video playback prompt bar in the first video playback interface; the display list page in step one is displayed in the second video playback interface, while the display list page in step 907 is displayed in the first video playback interface.

[0156] In step 908, the terminal plays the videos based on the display order of the target videos on the list page.

[0157] In step 909, in response to the sequence switching operation performed on the target videos displayed on the list page, the terminal adjusts the play sequence of the target videos displayed on the list page.

[0158] In step 910, in response to a selection operation performed on any target video displayed on the list page, the terminal plays the selected target video in the first video playback interface.

[0159] The execution process of the above steps 908 to 910 is the same as the execution process of steps 1 to 4 in the above embodiment of updating the video address stream by inserting the stream, and will not be repeated here.

[0160] In the above scheme, by replacing the address information of the currently playing video with the cache address information of the video cached in the cache space, the cached video is played in the first video playback interface without jumping to the video playback interface, thereby saving the trigger time for playing the cached video and reducing the time the user waits for the video playback interface to jump, which can improve the user's viewing experience.

[0161] In the above embodiment, a video playback method provided by an embodiment of the present application is introduced by taking the method of updating the video address stream by replacing the video as an example. The following is an example of updating the video address stream by switching the stream to introduce a video playback method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Fig.10 As shown, Fig.10 is a flowchart of a video playback method provided according to an exemplary embodiment, the method is executed by the terminal 101, and includes the following steps:

[0162] In step 1001, the terminal displays network abnormality information in the first video playback interface, where the network abnormality information is used to indicate that the terminal's network does not meet playback conditions.

[0163] In step 1002, the terminal selects at least one candidate video from the multiple videos cached in the cache space based on the video date condition.

[0164] In step 1003, based on at least one of the ranking conditions of the number of play times and the completion rate, the terminal ranks at least one candidate video, and determines a target video based on the ranking result.

[0165] In step 1004, the terminal obtains cache address information of the target video.

[0166] The above steps 1001 to 1004 are similar to steps 301 to 304 and are not described in detail.

[0167] In step 1005, based on the cache address information of the target video, the terminal generates a new video address stream to replace the current video address stream.

[0168] Among them, the terminal generates a new video address stream based on the cache address information of the target video, and the process of replacing the current video address stream includes: the terminal obtains the cache address information of all target videos; the terminal generates a new video address stream based on the cache address information of all target videos; the terminal replaces the current video address stream with the generated new video address stream.

[0169] The above embodiment takes the generation of a new video address stream based on the cache address information of all target videos as an example to introduce the process of generating a new video address stream. In some embodiments, the cache address information of some target videos is used to generate a new video address stream. In other embodiments, in addition to using the cache address information of the target video, the cache address information of other videos in the cache space is also used to generate a new video address stream. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0170] In step 1006, in response to the video playback function of the first video playback interface being triggered, the terminal jumps from the first video playback interface to the second video playback interface.

[0171] The above step 1006 is the same as step 306 and will not be described in detail.

[0172] In step 1007, based on the updated video address stream, the terminal displays a playback source prompt bar in the second video playback interface and plays the target video.

[0173] The above step 1007 is similar to the step of displaying the playback source prompt bar in the second video playback interface in the above embodiment of updating the video address stream by inserting the stream, and will not be repeated here.

[0174] In the above scheme, the entire video address stream is directly replaced with the cache address information of the video cached in the cache space, so that the video cached in the cache space can be played continuously, saving the time of updating the video address stream each time, thereby reducing the time users wait for video playback and improving the user's viewing experience.
