Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, many electronic products on the market are equipped with video playback functions. Video playback has different sources such as local and network. For local video files, playback is often normal, but for network video files, due to factors such as bandwidth and network speed, when the video starts playing after the video is switched, the default bandwidth value will be used for playback. This method often causes problems such as lag.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, the existing technology adopts the method of manually adjusting the video resolution by the user, adjusting the high resolution to a low resolution, so as to reduce the amount of data transmission and thus reduce the number of freezes. However, this method is not only time-consuming and laborious to operate, but also affects the user's video viewing experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a video playback method, device, electronic device and storage medium to achieve the technical effect of improving video playback effect, improving the smoothness of video playback, and improving user viewing experience.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a video playback method is provided, the method comprising:

[0006] Upon receiving a video switching request, obtaining video parameters of a currently played video corresponding to the video switching request; wherein the video parameters include a standard playback bandwidth and a standard resolution;

[0007] Determining a resolution to be used corresponding to the currently played video based on the standard playback bandwidth and a historical playback bandwidth corresponding to a previously played video;

[0008] The current video to be played is played based on the resolution to be used, and the current playback bandwidth when playing the current video to be played is determined as the historical playback bandwidth, so that when a video switching request is received again, the resolution to be used corresponding to the next video to be played is determined based on the historical playback bandwidth and the standard playback bandwidth of the next video to be played.

[0009] According to another aspect of the present invention, a video playback device is provided, the device comprising:

[0010] A video parameter acquisition module is configured to, upon receiving a video switching request, acquire video parameters of a currently played video corresponding to the video switching request; wherein the video parameters include a standard playback bandwidth and a standard resolution;

[0011] a module for determining a resolution to be used, configured to determine a resolution to be used corresponding to the currently played video based on the standard playback bandwidth and a historical playback bandwidth corresponding to a previously played video;

[0012] The bandwidth recording module is used to play the current video to be played based on the resolution to be used, and determine the current playback bandwidth when playing the current video to be played as the historical playback bandwidth, so that when a video switching request is received again, the resolution to be used corresponding to the next video to be played is determined based on the historical playback bandwidth and the standard playback bandwidth of the next video to be played.

[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, comprising:

[0014] at least one processor; and

[0015] a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein,

[0016] The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by the at least one processor. The computer program is executed by the at least one processor so that the at least one processor can execute the video playback method described in any embodiment of the present invention.

[0017] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores computer instructions, and the computer instructions are used to enable a processor to implement the video playback method described in any embodiment of the present invention when executed.

[0018] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: when a video switching request is received, the standard playback bandwidth and standard resolution of the current video to be played corresponding to the video switching request are obtained; based on the standard playback bandwidth and the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video, a to-be-used resolution corresponding to the current video to be played is determined; the current video to be played is played based on the to-be-used resolution, and the current playback bandwidth when the current video to be played is determined as the historical playback bandwidth, so that when the video switching request is received again, the to-be-used resolution corresponding to the next video to be played is determined based on the historical playback bandwidth and the standard playback bandwidth of the next video to be played. This solves the problem in the prior art that manual adjustment of the video resolution by the user affects the user's viewing experience. By determining the standard playback bandwidth of the current video to be played when the video is switched, comprehensively considering the standard playback bandwidth and the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video, the most suitable to-be-used resolution for the current video to be played is determined, and the current video to be played is played based on the to-be-used resolution, the video playback effect is improved, and the smoothness of the video playback is improved, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the user's viewing experience.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a video playback method provided according to the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case of playing videos. The method can be executed by a video playback device. The video playback device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The video playback device can be configured in a computing device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0029] S110 . When a video switching request is received, obtain video parameters of a currently played video corresponding to the video switching request.

[0030] The video switching request is the instruction and code for requesting a video switch. Video parameters include the standard playback bandwidth and standard resolution. Video parameters correspond to the video itself and can be different or the same for each video.

[0031] In this embodiment, the server can be considered to have received a video switch request when a user triggers a video link control while browsing a video. Alternatively, the system can be considered to have received a video switch request when the system automatically triggers a control to play the next video after a video finishes playing. The video corresponding to the triggered video link control can be used as the current video to be played. After the system receives the video switch request, it obtains the video parameters configured for the current video to be played.

[0032] It should be noted that in actual applications, when processing video playback of certain APPs, the m3u8 format, or h.264 and vp9 formats are usually used for playback. Before playback, the video playback link is usually obtained, and the video parameters of the video are obtained based on the playback link.

[0033] Optionally, obtaining video parameters of the current video to be played corresponding to the video switching request includes: parsing the video switching request to obtain the resource locator corresponding to the current video to be played carried in the video switching request; obtaining a parameter file corresponding to the resource locator; and parsing the parameter file to obtain video parameters.

[0034] The resource locator is a URL (uniform resource locator). The parameter file can be in the m3u8 format.

[0035] Specifically, the video switching request can be parsed to obtain the URL (resource locator) corresponding to the currently playing video carried in the video switching request. A parameter file corresponding to the resource locator can then be loaded. The parameter file can be parsed to obtain video parameters such as the standard playback bandwidth and standard resolution contained in the parameter file.

[0036] Exemplarily, after determining the URL (i.e., resource locator), the corresponding m3u8 file can be downloaded through the URL, which contains two files, master.m3u8 and mediadata.m3u8, wherein master.m3u8 is the parameter file, and the data format in the parameter file can be as follows:

[0037] #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=306568,CODECS="avc1.4D400C,mp4a.40.5",RESOLUTION=426x240,AUDIO="233",FRAME-RATE=25,VIDEO-RANGE=SDR,CLOSE D-CAPTIONS=NONE

[0038] The parameter file includes the bandwidth value (i.e. standard playback bandwidth): 306568; encoding method: avc1.4D400C; resolution (i.e. standard resolution): 426x240, etc.

[0039] S120: Determine a resolution to be used corresponding to the video to be currently played based on the standard playback bandwidth and the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video.

[0040] The last played video in history refers to the video played before the switch, that is, the video played before the current video to be played.

[0041] It should be noted that the existing method of playing videos is as follows: when each video starts playing, the bandwidth value is set to zero by default. Then, 10 seconds after the video starts playing, the actual bandwidth is monitored and the corresponding resolution is selected based on the actual bandwidth. As a result, the resolution is switched each time a video is played, and a lower resolution is used for the first 10 seconds or so of the video, resulting in poor playback quality. To better solve this problem, in this embodiment, after determining the video parameters of the current video to be played, the standard playback bandwidth in the video parameters and the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video are combined to select an appropriate resolution for the current video to be played. At this time, the historical playback bandwidth is closest to the network bandwidth used to load the current video to be played at the current moment, which can well meet the playback conditions of the current video to be played and prevent video freezes or unclear video when the current video to be played starts.

[0042] Specifically, based on the standard playback bandwidth and the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video, the resolution to be used corresponding to the currently played video is determined, including: if the standard playback bandwidth is smaller than the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video, the standard resolution is used as the resolution to be used for the currently played video.

[0043] In this embodiment, the standard playback bandwidth and the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video can be compared. If the standard playback bandwidth is smaller than the historical playback bandwidth, it can be said that if the current video to be played is played at the standard resolution at the current moment, there will be no playback freeze, and the playback conditions of the current video to be played are met. There is no need to adjust the resolution, and the standard resolution in the video parameters can be used as the to-be-used resolution of the current video to be played, so that the current video to be played is played based on the to-be-used resolution.

[0044] For example, during the actual playback process, if it is detected that the historical playback bandwidth is not greater than the standard playback bandwidth of 306568, the standard resolution is directly used for playback. If the standard playback bandwidth is higher, the resolution corresponding to the historical playback bandwidth is selected for playback.

[0045] In this embodiment, based on the standard playback bandwidth and the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video, determining the resolution to be used corresponding to the currently played video also includes: if the standard playback bandwidth is greater than the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video, determining the resolution to be applied corresponding to the historical playback bandwidth; and using the resolution to be applied as the resolution to be used for the currently played video.

[0046] Specifically, if the standard playback bandwidth is greater than the historical playback bandwidth, this indicates that playing the currently playing video at standard resolution may cause playback stuttering, necessitating resolution adjustment. The resolution to be applied can be determined based on the historical playback bandwidth. For example, a larger historical playback bandwidth corresponds to a higher resolution to be applied, while a smaller historical playback bandwidth corresponds to a lower resolution to be applied. The resolution to be applied can be used as the resolution to be used, thereby improving playback smoothness by playing the currently playing video at the resolution to be used.

[0047] S130. Play the current video to be played based on the resolution to be used, and determine the current playback bandwidth when playing the current video to be played as the historical playback bandwidth, so that when a video switching request is received again, the resolution to be used corresponding to the next video to be played is determined based on the historical playback bandwidth and the standard playback bandwidth of the next video to be played.

[0048] In this embodiment, during the process of playing the current video to be played based on the resolution to be used, the current playback bandwidth during playback can be monitored in real time. The current playback bandwidth may change during the playback of the video. Based on the time dimension, when a new real-time playback bandwidth is detected, the last recorded playback bandwidth can be updated to ensure that when the current video to be played ends, the detected current playback bandwidth is closest to the next switching video, that is, the switching moment of the next video to be played. The current playback bandwidth can be used as the historical playback bandwidth. When a video switching request is received next time, the resolution to be used corresponding to the next video to be played can be determined based on the historical playback bandwidth and the standard playback bandwidth of the next video to be played. During the video stream playback process, the playback effect of each video can be improved.

[0049] It should be noted that, in the process of determining the current playback bandwidth when playing the currently-to-be-played video, the current playback network speed when playing the currently-to-be-played video can be determined; and the current playback bandwidth is determined based on the current playback network speed.

[0050] In this embodiment, the current playback network speed can be monitored in real time during the playback of the current video to be played. Furthermore, the current playback network speed can be converted into network bandwidth, that is, the current playback bandwidth is obtained.

[0051] In order to better satisfy the user's viewing experience, a switching prompt can be provided during the video switching process. Optionally, a video switching prompt message can be generated and displayed when a video switching request is received.

[0052] Specifically, when a video switching request is received, it can be considered that a video switching is in progress, and a menu prompt can be added to display a video switching prompt in the switching area. For example, the video switching prompt message can be "Currently switching." It should be noted that the switching area can be any area of the display interface and can be determined by technical personnel based on actual work conditions. It is not limited here.

[0053] The technical solution of this embodiment is as follows: when receiving a video switching request, obtaining the standard playback bandwidth and standard resolution of the current video to be played corresponding to the video switching request; determining the to-be-used resolution corresponding to the current video to be played based on the standard playback bandwidth and the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video; playing the current video to be played based on the to-be-used resolution, and determining the current playback bandwidth when playing the current video to be played as the historical playback bandwidth, so that when the video switching request is received again, the to-be-used resolution corresponding to the next video to be played is determined based on the historical playback bandwidth and the standard playback bandwidth of the next video to be played. This solves the problem in the prior art that manual adjustment of the video resolution by the user affects the user's viewing experience, and realizes that when the video is switched, the standard playback bandwidth of the current video to be played is determined, the standard playback bandwidth of the current video to be played is comprehensively considered with the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video, the most suitable to-be-used resolution for the current video to be played is determined, and the current video to be played is played based on the to-be-used resolution, thereby improving the video playback effect, thereby improving the smoothness of the video playback, and achieving the technical effect of improving the user's viewing experience.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] As an alternative embodiment to the above embodiment, in order to make those skilled in the art further understand the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, a specific application scenario example is given. For details, please refer to the following specific content.

[0056] For example, see Figure 2 , Figure 2This can be represented as a schematic diagram of a video playback method. When playing a video using an app, after playing the first source, the current network speed can be recorded and the corresponding bandwidth value can be obtained. If no network speed is detected, it indicates that there is no network connection and the video is in a network card state. When switching videos, the gstframework layer needs to send a message to the upper layer. Message 1 indicates that the resolution switch is currently in progress, and message 2 sends the first detected bandwidth value to the upper layer app. After receiving the resolution switch message, the upper layer will first display a menu prompt, that is, when the video switches, a menu prompt is added to indicate that the switch is currently in progress. Secondly, the bandwidth value is recorded and then set according to the bandwidth when building the pipeline. When playing the second video, the bandwidth used for playing the first source is used. Since the saved bandwidth value is directly used, the most appropriate resolution is directly selected without switching resolutions, thus meeting user needs. Alternatively, the system can obtain the corresponding URL based on the video link and then download the corresponding m3u8 file from this URL. The m3u8 file includes: master.m3u8 (i.e., parameter file) and mediadata.m3u8 (stream fragment file). For example, the parameter file content can be

[0057] #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=306568,CODECS="avc1.4D400C,mp4a.40.5",RESOLUTION=426x240,AUDIO="233",FRAME-RATE=25,VIDEO-RANGE=SDR,CLOSE D-CAPTIONS=NONE. The parameter file contains the bandwidth (i.e., standard playback bandwidth): 306568; encoding method: avc1.4D400C; and resolution (i.e., standard resolution): 426x240. During actual playback, if the playback bandwidth corresponding to the previous video is greater than 306568, playback will be performed directly at 426x240. If the standard playback bandwidth is higher, the most suitable link will be selected for playback. The corresponding link can then be used to download the m3u8 file corresponding to the actual stream, which contains the actual stream fragment. It should be noted that since the upper layer directly transmits the network speed, the gst_hls_master_playlist_get_variant_for_bitrate(hlsdemux->master,NULL,demux->connection_speed) function will be executed directly, so there is no need to switch the resolution, which improves the video playback effect.

[0058] The technical solution of this embodiment is as follows: when receiving a video switching request, obtaining the standard playback bandwidth and standard resolution of the current video to be played corresponding to the video switching request; determining the to-be-used resolution corresponding to the current video to be played based on the standard playback bandwidth and the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video; playing the current video to be played based on the to-be-used resolution, and determining the current playback bandwidth when playing the current video to be played as the historical playback bandwidth, so that when the video switching request is received again, the to-be-used resolution corresponding to the next video to be played is determined based on the historical playback bandwidth and the standard playback bandwidth of the next video to be played. This solves the problem in the prior art that manual adjustment of the video resolution by the user affects the user's viewing experience, and realizes that when the video is switched, the standard playback bandwidth of the current video to be played is determined, the standard playback bandwidth of the current video to be played is comprehensively considered with the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video, the most suitable to-be-used resolution for the current video to be played is determined, and the current video to be played is played based on the to-be-used resolution, thereby improving the video playback effect, thereby improving the smoothness of the video playback, and achieving the technical effect of improving the user's viewing experience.

[0062] The technical solution of this embodiment is as follows: when receiving a video switching request, obtaining the standard playback bandwidth and standard resolution of the current video to be played corresponding to the video switching request; determining the to-be-used resolution corresponding to the current video to be played based on the standard playback bandwidth and the historical playback bandwidth corresponding to the last historically played video; playing the current video to be played based on the to-be-used resolution, and determining the current playback bandwidth when playing the current video to be played as the historical playback bandwidth, so that when the video switching request is received again, the to-be-used resolution corresponding to the next video to be played is determined based on the historical playback bandwidth and the standard playback bandwidth of the next video to be played.
