A video playing method, device and storage medium

Abstract

The application discloses a video playing method and device and a storage medium, and relates to the field of video playing, and comprises the following steps: when a video playing request for a target video file is monitored, a first downloading event of a key frame list file is triggered; if a progress bar dragging event is monitored in a video playing process, a dragging end point is determined on a video progress bar of the target video file; if the target key frame corresponding to the dragging end point is contained in the downloaded key frame list file corresponding to the first downloading event, the target key frame is read from the downloaded key frame list file; the target key frame is a key frame closest to the dragging end point and having a time stamp not greater than the time stamp of the dragging end point in the target video file; and a target decoding process corresponding to the progress bar dragging event and a video playing operation are triggered based on the target key frame. When the progress bar dragging event occurs, the key frame is directly read from the key frame list file and decoded and played, so that the video buffering waiting time is reduced.
