[0059] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0060] It is understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this application may be used herein to describe various concepts, but unless otherwise specified, these concepts are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one concept from another. For example, a first video may be referred to as a second video, and similarly, a second video may be referred to as a first video without departing from the scope of this application.

[0061] Among them, at least one refers to one or more than one, for example, at least one video can be one video, two videos, three videos, or any other integer greater than or equal to one. Multiple refers to two or more than two, for example, multiple videos can be two videos, three videos, or any other integer greater than or equal to two. Each refers to each of at least one, for example, each video refers to each video in the multiple videos. If the multiple videos are 3 videos, each video refers to each video in the 3 videos.

[0062] 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 (including but not limited to signals transmitted between user terminals and other devices, etc.) involved in this application are all fully authorized by users or relevant parties, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data need to comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

[0063] For example, the players and video files involved in this application are fully authorized by users or relevant parties, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

[0064] The video playback method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used in a terminal. The embodiment of the present application can be applied to various scenarios, including but not limited to cloud technology, artificial intelligence, smart transportation, assisted driving, etc.

[0065] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a computer system provided in an embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1 , the computer system includes: a terminal 101 and a server 102. The terminal 101 and the server 102 are connected via a wireless or wired network.

[0066] The terminal 101 is installed and runs a client 111, which may be a video client, a news information client, a social application client, an online payment client, an online shopping client, a game client, a medical service client, an application store client, etc. When the terminal 101 runs the client 111, the user interface of the client 111 is displayed on the screen of the terminal 101. The terminal 101 is a terminal used by the user 121.

[0067] Optionally, terminal 101 may generally refer to one of multiple terminals, including: smart phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, smart speakers, smart watches, smart voice interaction devices, smart home appliances, vehicle-mounted terminals, aircraft, VR (Virtual Reality) devices, AR (Augmented Reality) devices, etc., but are not limited to these.

[0068] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the number of the above terminals may be more or less. For example, the above terminal may be only one, or the above terminals may be 6, 8, or more. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of terminals and device types.

[0069] Figure 1 Only one terminal is shown, but in different embodiments, there are multiple other terminals 103 that can access the server 102. Optionally, there are one or more terminals 103 corresponding to the developer, and the client development and editing platform is installed on the terminal 103. The developer can edit and update the client on the terminal 103, and transmit the updated client installation package to the server 102 through a wired or wireless network. The terminal 101 can download the client installation package from the server 102 to update the client.

[0070] The terminal 101 and other terminals 103 are connected to the server 102 via a wired network or a wireless network.

[0071] The server 102 includes at least one of a single server, multiple servers, a cloud computing platform, and a virtualization center. The server 102 is used to provide background services for the client. Optionally, the server 102 undertakes the main computing work, and the first terminal 101 undertakes the secondary computing work; or, the server 102 undertakes the secondary computing work, and the first terminal 101 undertakes the main computing work; or, the server 102 and the first terminal 101 adopt a distributed computing architecture for collaborative computing.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the server 102 is used to send video information of the video and the video file of the video to the terminal 101, the video information is used to introduce the video, and the video file is used to play the video. The terminal 101 is used to display the video content control corresponding to the video on the information flow page, and the video content control displays the video information. The terminal 101 is also used to play the video based on the video file of the video through the video player on the video playback page.

[0073] The server 102 pushes video information of multiple videos to the terminal 101, so that the terminal 101 displays the video information on the video content control of the information flow page. When a specific preloading condition is met, the terminal 101 can pre-download the video file of the video from the server 102, so that when a video is subsequently requested to be played, the downloaded video file can be directly used, thereby saving the time of waiting for the video file to be downloaded.

[0074] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a video playback method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is executed by a terminal, for example, Figure 1 Executed by terminal 101 in . Figure 2 , the method comprising:

[0075] 201. The terminal displays an information flow page, where the information flow page includes at least one video content control corresponding to a video, and the video content control corresponding to the video displays video information for introducing the video.

[0076] The terminal displays an information flow page, which is used to display the video content control corresponding to the video, and the video content control corresponding to the video is used to display the video information of the video. Among them, the video content control is a triggerable control.

[0077] Exemplarily, the video information of a video includes video cover, video title, video upload time, video upload object, video viewing times and other information.

[0078] 202. When the first preloading condition is currently satisfied, the terminal determines a first video among videos corresponding to at least one video content control displayed on the information flow page, and the first video satisfies the second preloading condition.

[0079] In the process of displaying the information flow page, if the first preloading condition is currently met, then for the video corresponding to each video content control currently displayed on the information flow page, if the video meets the second preloading condition, the video is called the first video.

[0080] The first preloading condition is used to determine the timing of preloading, and the second preloading condition is used to determine the preloaded video. The first preloading condition and the second preloading condition can be pre-set conditions, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific content of the first preloading condition and the second preloading condition.

[0081] 203. The terminal downloads the video file of the first video and creates a player for the first video.

[0082] When the first preloading condition is currently met, for the first video that currently meets the second preloading condition, the terminal pre-downloads the video file of the first video and pre-creates a player for the first video. Pre-downloading the video file and pre-creating the player means that when no playback request for the first video is received, the video file of the first video is downloaded in advance and the player for the first video is created in advance.

[0083] The video file of the first video is a file storing the video data of the first video, the video file is in a non-playable format, and the video data is in a playable format. The video data includes video frames, audio frames, video subtitles, and the like.

[0084] The player of the first video is a component used to play the first video, and the player is used to decode and render the video data stored in the video file of the first video.

[0085] 204. In response to the interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the first video, the terminal displays a video playback page, and plays the first video on the video playback page through a player of the first video based on the video file of the first video.

[0086] The interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the first video is used to instruct the first video to play, and the interactive operation may be a click operation or a slide operation on the video content control.

[0087] When the terminal detects an interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the first video, it jumps from the information flow page to the video playback page. Since the player of the first video has been created in advance and the video file of the first video has been downloaded, after the video playback page is displayed, the first video can be played directly on the video playback page through the player of the first video based on the video file of the first video, thereby saving the time of creating a player and downloading video files.

[0088] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application, in the process of displaying the information flow page, when the first preloading condition is met, the video that meets the second preloading condition is preloaded, that is, the corresponding video file is pre-downloaded and the corresponding player is created. Then, when the user interacts with the video content control corresponding to the preloaded video, the user can jump from the information flow page to the video playback page, and directly play the video on the video playback page using the pre-created player and the pre-downloaded video file, thereby reducing the time waiting for the video to load and improving the efficiency and fluency of the video playback. In addition, only the videos that meet the specific preloading conditions are preloaded, avoiding the resource consumption caused by preloading all videos, so that the fast playback of the video can be achieved under the premise of ensuring resource utilization.

[0089] Figure 3 is a flowchart of another video playback method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is executed by a terminal, for example, Figure 1 Executed by terminal 101 in . Figure 3 , the method comprising:

[0090] 301. The terminal displays an information flow page, where the information flow page includes at least one video content control corresponding to a video, and the video content control corresponding to the video displays video information for introducing the video.

[0091] In a possible implementation, the terminal runs a target client, which may be a video client, a news information client, a social application client, a multimedia application client, etc. The terminal displays an information flow page in the target client, and the information flow page displays a video content control corresponding to at least one video in the target client.

[0092] In one possible implementation, in addition to displaying the video content controls corresponding to the video, the information flow page may also display content controls corresponding to other types of media resources, for example, it may also display graphic content controls corresponding to graphics or audio content controls corresponding to audio.

[0093] In a possible implementation, the information stream page displays video content controls corresponding to multiple different videos, and the multiple video content controls are arranged in sequence.

[0094] In a possible implementation, the video content control displayed in the information flow page can be changed, but is not fixed. Wherein, changing the video content control in the information flow page means that the video content control corresponding to the current video is replaced with the video content control corresponding to other videos.

[0095] Exemplarily, the information stream page is a scrollable page, and in response to a scrolling operation on the information stream page, the video content control displayed on the information stream page is replaced. Exemplarily, the information stream page includes an update control, and in response to a triggering operation on the update control, the video content control displayed on the information stream page is replaced.

[0096] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of an information flow page provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the information flow page displays a video content control 401 corresponding to video 1, a video content control 402 corresponding to video 2, a graphic content control 403 corresponding to graphic 3, and a video content control 404 corresponding to video 4. Taking the video content control 401 corresponding to video 1 as an example, the video content control 401 displays the video title 411 of video 1 and the video cover 421 of video 1.

[0097] 302. When the terminal currently satisfies the first preloading condition, the terminal determines a first video and a second video among videos corresponding to at least one video content control displayed on the information flow page, wherein the first video satisfies the second preloading condition and the second video does not satisfy the second preloading condition.

[0098] In the process of displaying the information flow page, if the first preloading condition is currently met, for each video corresponding to the video content control currently displayed on the information flow page, if the video meets the second preloading condition, the video is called a first video, and if the video does not meet the second preloading condition, the video is called a second video. The number of the first videos can be one or more, and the number of the second videos can be one or more.

[0099] In a possible implementation, the information flow page is a scrollable page, and the first preloading condition includes that the time duration for the information flow page to stop scrolling reaches a first preset time duration. The first preset time duration is a preset time duration, for example, the first preset time duration is 2 seconds or 3 seconds.

[0100] Among them, if the time when the information flow page stops scrolling reaches a first preset time, it means that the user has browsed the content currently displayed on the information flow page for a long time. Therefore, it can be inferred that the user is interested in the video corresponding to the currently displayed video content control, and the user is likely to request to play these videos. Therefore, it is considered that in this case, the preloading time has been reached and the preloading step is started.

[0101] Optionally, the first preloading condition also includes that the terminal currently turns on a Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) network.

[0102] In this implementation, by setting the length of time that the information flow page stops scrolling as the first preloading condition, it is possible to accurately determine whether the user may be interested in the video corresponding to the currently displayed video information, thereby selectively selecting the timing for preloading the video and avoiding invalid preloading.

[0103] In a possible implementation, the second preloading condition includes any one of the following:

[0104] (1) Among the multiple video content controls currently displayed on the information flow page, the video content control corresponding to the video is the first video content control, and the multiple video content controls are arranged in order.

[0105] For each video content control currently displayed on the information flow page, if the video content control is the first video content control currently displayed, the video corresponding to the video content control meets the second preloading condition, and the video is called the first video. That is, the video corresponding to the first video content control displayed on the information flow page is the first video, and the videos corresponding to the remaining video content controls are the second videos.

[0106] In this implementation, the video corresponding to the first video content control displayed on the information flow page is viewed by the user first, and the user is more likely to be interested in the video corresponding to the first video content control. Therefore, the video corresponding to the first video content control is preloaded first, thereby selectively selecting which video is currently being preloaded, thereby avoiding invalid preloading.

[0107] (2) Among the videos corresponding to the multiple video content controls currently displayed on the information flow page, the video has the largest number of playback times.

[0108] For a video corresponding to each video content control currently displayed on the information flow page, if the video has the largest number of plays among the videos corresponding to the multiple video content controls currently displayed, the video meets the second preloading condition and is referred to as the first video. That is, among the videos corresponding to the multiple video content controls currently displayed on the information flow page, the video with the largest number of plays is the first video, and the remaining videos are the second videos.

[0109] In this implementation, the video with the most plays is more popular, and users are more likely to be interested in the video with the most plays. Therefore, the video with the most plays is preloaded first, so that the currently displayed video is preloaded in a targeted manner, avoiding invalid preloading.

[0110] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of another information flow page provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, video content control 401 is the first video content control displayed on the information flow page, so the video corresponding to video content control 401 is taken as the first video, and a player is pre-created and a video file is downloaded for the first video in step 303. Video content control 402 and video content control 404 are non-first video content controls displayed on the information flow page, so the video corresponding to video content control 402 and the video corresponding to video content control 404 are taken as the second video, and a video file is pre-downloaded for the second video in step 304.

[0111] In a possible implementation, the first video and the second video in the embodiment of the present application are not automatically played on the information flow page, so the first video and the second video are not loaded. Not loaded means that the corresponding player is not created and the corresponding video file is not downloaded. Then if you request to play the first video or the second video, you need to wait for the first video and the second video to be loaded. In order to reduce the waiting time, the embodiment of the present application performs the loading process in advance in the following steps 303 and 304.

[0112] 303. The terminal downloads the video file of the first video and creates a player for the first video.

[0113] For the first video that meets the second preloading condition, the terminal not only pre-downloads the video file of the first video, but also pre-creates a player for the first video. When the first video is subsequently requested to be played, the first video can be played directly through the created player based on the downloaded video file, thus avoiding the time overhead of waiting for the creation of the player.

[0114] In one possible implementation, the player of the first video is stored in the memory, which requires additional memory resources.

[0115] In a possible implementation, the terminal creates a player for the first video, including: determining the number of players that have been created in a player cache pool; if the number of players that have been created does not reach a preset number, creating a player for the first video in the player cache pool; if the number of players that have been created has reached a preset number, deleting the player that has not been accessed for the longest time in the player cache pool, and creating a player for the first video in the player cache. Exemplarily, the preset number is 3.

[0116] The player cache pool is used to store the created players. The embodiment of the present application limits the number of players in the player cache pool. If the number of players in the player cache pool has not reached the preset number, the player of the first video can be directly created. If the number of players in the player cache pool has reached the preset number, it is necessary to first delete the player that has not been accessed for the longest time, and then create the player of the first video to ensure that the number of players in the player cache pool does not exceed the preset number.

[0117] The access operations to the player include creating a player, using a player, and querying a player.

[0118] Optionally, the players in the player cache pool are arranged in order. Whenever a new player is created, the newly created player is ranked first among the multiple players. Whenever a video is played through an already created player, the player is moved to the first place among the multiple players. If a player for a certain video needs to be created currently, but a player for the video has already been created in the player cache pool, the player for the video is moved to the first place among the multiple players. Furthermore, the last player in the player cache pool is the player that has not been accessed for the longest time, so when the number of created players has reached a preset number, the last player in the player cache pool can be deleted.

[0119] In this implementation, by limiting the number of players created in the player cache pool, it is avoided that too many players are created to occupy memory resources, thereby effectively utilizing memory and computing resources, improving resource utilization, and avoiding resource waste.

[0120] In a possible implementation, after downloading the video file of the first video and creating a player for the first video, the terminal decodes the video file of the first video through the player of the first video to obtain video data of the first video, which is in a playable format. By performing the decoding operation in advance, when the first video is subsequently requested to be played, the decoded video data can be directly played through the created player, thereby reducing the waiting time required for decoding the video file.

[0121] In a possible implementation, the terminal downloads a portion of the video file of the first video. Exemplarily, the terminal downloads the video file from the start playback time point to the preset playback time point of the first video. For example, the duration from the start playback time point to the preset playback time point is 5 seconds, and the preset playback time point is the 5th second of the first video.

[0122] In a possible implementation manner, the terminal downloads the video file of the first video, including: downloading the video file of the first video and the video cover of the first video.

[0123] In a possible implementation, the terminal downloads the video file of the first video, including: if the video file of the first video is not found in the local disk, downloading the video file of the first video to the local disk. Storing the video file in the local disk does not occupy memory resources, so there is no need to limit the number of downloaded video files.

[0124] 304. The terminal downloads the video file of the second video.

[0125] For the second video that does not meet the second preloading condition, the terminal only pre-downloads the video file of the second video, and no longer pre-creates a player for the first video. By pre-downloading the video file, when the second video is subsequently requested to be played, the downloaded video file can be directly obtained, thereby avoiding the time overhead of waiting to download the video file. Since the player occupies memory resources, the player is no longer pre-created for the second video that does not meet the second preloading condition, thereby saving memory resources.

[0126] In a possible implementation, the terminal downloads a portion of the video file of the second video. Exemplarily, the terminal downloads the video file of the second video from the start playback time point to the preset playback time point. For example, the duration from the start playback time point to the preset playback time point is 5 seconds, and the preset playback time point is the 5th second of the second video.

[0127] In a possible implementation, the number of the second videos is multiple. The terminal downloads the video file of the second video, including: determining at least one target video among the multiple second videos, the target video refers to the second video whose corresponding video file has not been downloaded yet; removing videos different from the at least one target video in the preloading queue, adding the target video not recorded in the preloading queue to the preloading queue, the preloading queue is used to record the video of the video file to be downloaded; downloading the video file of the target video in the preloading queue, and removing the target video of the downloaded video file from the preloading queue.

[0128] Optionally, the terminal stores a video cache queue, which is used to store downloaded video files. For each second video, the terminal queries whether there is a video file of the second video in the video cache queue. If there is no video file of the second video, the second video is determined as the target video. Then, for each video in the preloading queue, the terminal determines whether the video is the target video. If not, the video is removed from the preloading queue. If so, the video is retained in the preloading queue. After the traversal is completed, the terminal adds the target video that has not been recorded in the preloading queue to the preloading queue, thereby ensuring that the preloading queue only includes the video currently required to be preloaded, and then downloads the video file of the target video in the preloading queue.

[0129] It should be noted that the above-mentioned adding the target video to the preloading queue refers to adding the video identifier of the target video to the preloading queue, rather than adding the video file or video data of the target video to the preloading queue. What is recorded in the preloading queue is the video identifier of the video, rather than the video file or video data of the video.

[0130] In this implementation, videos whose corresponding video files have not been downloaded are added to the preloading queue, and videos whose corresponding video files no longer need to be downloaded are removed, which can ensure that storage resources and computing resources are used for videos that currently need to pre-download video files, thereby avoiding waste of resources.

[0131] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a preloading method provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, video 1, video 3 and video 4 are preloaded, video 1 meets the second preloading condition, so the player and video file are preloaded, video 3 and video 4 do not meet the second preloading condition, so only the video file is preloaded.

[0132] like Figure 6 As shown, for the video that currently needs to be preloaded, first determine whether it meets the second preloading condition. If the video that currently needs to be preloaded meets the second preloading condition, turn on preloading switch 1 to determine whether there is a player for the video in the player cache pool. If not, create a player for the video in the player cache pool and download the video file of the video. If the video that currently needs to be preloaded does not meet the second preloading condition, turn on preloading switch 2 to determine whether there is a video file for the video in the video cache queue. If not, compare the preloading queue with the target video to be preloaded, remove videos in the preloading queue that are different from the target video, add the target video to the preloading queue, download the video file of the video in the preloading queue, and add the downloaded video file to the video cache queue.

[0133] In a possible implementation, step 304 includes: downloading the video file and video cover of the second video. That is, not only the video file of the second video is pre-downloaded, but also the video cover of the second video is pre-downloaded. Optionally, the video cover can be the first video frame of the second video.

[0134] Among them, since the player of the second video is not created in advance, after requesting to play the second video, it is necessary to wait for the player of the second video to be created, and the second video cannot be played in time, so there will be a short black screen time. In order to avoid the black screen, the embodiment of the present application also pre-downloads the video cover of the second video. After the second video is requested to be played, the video cover of the second video can be displayed first while waiting for the player of the second video to be created, thereby avoiding the display of a black screen.

[0135] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of another preloading method provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 7 As shown, for video 1 that meets the second preloading condition, and video 3 and video 4 that do not meet the second preloading condition, the corresponding video covers can be pre-downloaded.

[0136] In the embodiment of the present application, after executing step 303 and step 304, the following step 305 or step 306 may be executed. The first video is played by executing the following step 305, and the second video is played by executing the following step 306.

[0137] 305. In response to the interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the first video, the terminal displays a video playback page, and plays the first video on the video playback page through a player of the first video based on the video file of the first video.

[0138] The interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the first video is used to instruct the playing of the first video.

[0139] When the terminal detects an interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the first video, it jumps from the information flow page to the video playback page. Since the player of the first video has been created in advance and the video file of the first video has been downloaded, after the video playback page is displayed, the first video can be played directly on the video playback page through the player of the first video based on the video file of the first video, thereby saving the time of creating a player and downloading video files.

[0140] In a possible implementation, in response to an interactive operation on a video content control corresponding to the first video, the terminal displays a video playback page, decodes the video file of the first video through a player of the first video on the video playback page to obtain video data of the first video, and plays the decoded video data through the player of the first video. The video file is in a non-playable format, and the video data is in a playable format.

[0141] In a possible implementation, in the above step 303, after downloading the video file of the first video and creating the player of the first video, the video file of the first video is decoded in advance by the player of the first video to obtain the video data of the first video. Then in this step 305, the decoded video data can be directly obtained, and the decoded video data can be played directly in the video playback page by the player of the first video, thereby reducing the waiting time required for decoding the video file.

[0142] 306. In response to the interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the second video, the terminal displays a video playback page and creates a player for the second video. After the player for the second video is created, the second video is played based on the video file of the second video through the player for the second video in the video playback page.

[0143] The interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the second video is used to instruct the playing of the second video.

[0144] When the terminal detects an interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the second video, it jumps from the information flow page to the video playback page. Since only the video file of the first video is pre-downloaded, it is only necessary to wait for the creation of the player of the second video. After the player of the second video is created, the second video can be played based on the video file of the second video through the player of the second video in the video playback page.

[0145] In one possible implementation, the terminal displays a video playback page in response to an interactive operation on a video content control corresponding to a first video, creates a player for a second video, and after the player for the second video is created, decodes the video file of the second video through the player for the second video on the video playback page to obtain video data of the second video, and plays the decoded video data through the player for the second video.

[0146] In a possible implementation, in the above step 304, not only the video file of the second video is pre-downloaded, but also the video cover of the second video is pre-downloaded. Then the step 306 can be replaced by: in response to the interactive operation of the video content control corresponding to the second video, displaying a video playback page including the video cover, creating a player for the second video, and after the player for the second video is created, playing the second video based on the video file of the second video through the player of the second video in the video playback page.

[0147] That is, while waiting for the creation of the player for the second video, the video cover of the second video can be displayed on the video playback page first, thereby avoiding a black screen. Furthermore, when the video cover of the second video is the first video frame of the second video, the first video frame of the second video is displayed first. After the creation of the player for the second video is completed, seamless playback can be performed starting from the first video frame of the second video, thereby improving the smoothness of video playback.

[0148] In this implementation, for the second video for which a player is not pre-created, the video file and video cover of the second video can be downloaded in advance. Then, after the user interacts with the video content control corresponding to the second video and waits for the player to be created for the second video, the video cover of the second video can be displayed on the video playback page first, thereby avoiding displaying a black screen and enabling the user to immediately see the relevant visual content after the interaction, thereby reducing the perceived waiting time and improving the user experience.

[0149] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of a video playback method provided by an embodiment of the present application, the process of creating a player and the process of preloading a video file are as follows Figure 8 shown.

[0150] In the process of creating a player, a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) request is generated. The CGI request is used to obtain the download address of the video file according to the video identifier. First, check whether the download address corresponding to the CGI request is cached. If there is no cache, send a CGI request to the server to request the download address. After the request is successful, the download address is added to the cache. If there is a cache, there is no need to request the download address from the server. After obtaining the download address, call the download component to download the video file. After creating the player, the video file is decoded by the player to obtain the video data, and the first video frame in the video data is rendered. If the current process is a preloading process, pause the playback. When requesting to play the video, the decoded video data is played through the player. If the current process is a normal playback process, the decoded video data is played directly through the player.

[0151] In the process of preloading video files, a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) request is generated. First, it is checked whether the download address corresponding to the CGI request is cached. If there is no cache, a CGI request is sent to the server to request the download address. After the request is successful, the download address is added to the cache. If there is a cache, there is no need to request the download address from the server. After obtaining the download address, the download component is called to download the video file, completing the preloading process of the video file.

[0152] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application, in the process of displaying the information flow page, when the first preloading condition is met, the video that meets the second preloading condition is preloaded, that is, the corresponding video file is pre-downloaded and the corresponding player is created. Then, when the user interacts with the video content control corresponding to the preloaded video, the user can jump from the information flow page to the video playback page, and directly play the video on the video playback page using the pre-created player and the pre-downloaded video file, thereby reducing the time waiting for the video to load and improving the efficiency and fluency of the video playback. In addition, only the videos that meet the specific preloading conditions are preloaded, avoiding the resource consumption caused by preloading all videos, so that the fast playback of the video can be achieved under the premise of ensuring resource utilization.

[0153] Furthermore, when the first preloading condition is met, even if the second video corresponding to the currently displayed video content control does not meet the second preloading condition, although the player of the second video is no longer pre-created, the video file of the second video can still be pre-downloaded, so after the user interacts with the video content control corresponding to the second video, the time of downloading the video file of the second video can be saved, thereby reducing the waiting time. Furthermore, since only the player of the first video that meets the second preloading condition is pre-created, and the player of the second video that does not meet the second preloading condition is not pre-created, memory resources and computing resources can be saved to a certain extent.

[0154] Fig. 9 is a flowchart of another video playback method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is executed by a terminal, for example, Figure 1 Executed by terminal 101 in . Fig. 9 , the method comprising:

[0155] 901. The terminal displays an information flow page, where the information flow page includes at least one video content control corresponding to a video, and the video content control corresponding to the video displays video information for introducing the video.

[0156] The process of step 901 is the same as that of step 301 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0157] 902. The terminal displays a video content control corresponding to the third video in the information flow page, and plays the third video based on the video file of the third video through a player of the third video on the video content control corresponding to the third video.

[0158] In an embodiment of the present application, the information flow page displays a video content control corresponding to the third video, and the video content control is playing the third video based on the video file of the third video through the player of the third video.

[0159] In a possible implementation, the third video is a video that is automatically played in the information flow page. Since the third video is automatically played, rather than requested by the user, after the video content control corresponding to the third video is displayed on the information flow page, the terminal automatically downloads the video file of the third video, creates a player for the third video, and then plays the third video based on the video file of the third video through the player of the third video. Since the user does not actively request to play the video, the user will not feel the time waiting for the video to play.

[0160] In one possible implementation, a video file of the third video is decoded through a player of the third video on a video content control corresponding to the third video to obtain video data of the third video, and the video data is played through the player of the third video.

[0161] 903. In response to the interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the third video, the terminal displays a video playback page and moves the player of the third video from the information stream page to the video playback page.

[0162] Among them, the interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the third video is used to instruct to play the third video in the video playback page.

[0163] When the terminal detects an interactive operation on the video content control corresponding to the third video, it jumps from the information flow page to the video playback page. Since the third video has been played in the information flow page, that is, the player for the third video has been created, the player for the third video is directly removed from the information flow page and added to the video playback page, thereby realizing cross-page reuse of the player and reducing the time waiting for creating the player.

[0164] 904. The terminal continues to play the third video through the player of the third video in the video playback page based on the playback progress in the information flow page and the video file of the third video.

[0165] Since the third video has been played in the information flow page, that is, the video file of the third video has been downloaded, the third video can be continued to be played through the third video player in the video playback page based on the playback progress and the video file of the third video, thereby reducing the time waiting for downloading the video file.

[0166] In a possible implementation, in step 902, the terminal plays the decoded video data of the third video through the player of the third video on the information stream page. Then in step 904, after adding the player of the third video to the video playback page, the video data can be directly played through the player of the third video, thereby achieving seamless video playback across pages and improving the smoothness of video playback across pages.

[0167] like Fig.10 As shown, in the related art, since the information stream page 1001 and the video playback page 1002 are two independent pages, the video is played through player A in the information stream page 1001. When switching from the information stream page 1001 to the video playback page 1002, it is necessary to close the player A in the information stream page 1001, create a new player B in the video playback page 1002, and determine the playback progress, so as to continue to play the video according to the playback progress. However, since it is time-consuming to rebuild the player and there is a certain error in the determined playback progress, the smoothness of cross-page video playback is poor.

[0168] In the embodiment of the present application, Fig.11As shown, in the information flow page 1001, a video is played through player A. When switching from the information flow page 1001 to the video playback page 1002, player A is removed from the information flow page 1001 and added to the video playback page 1002. Then, the video playback progress can be seamlessly connected in the video playback page 1002 without rebuilding the player, which improves the smoothness of cross-page video playback. In addition, since the player and video files are reused, the clarity of the video in the information flow page 1001 is consistent with the clarity in the video playback page 1002, which further improves the smoothness of video playback.

[0169] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the video file of the third video is played through the player of the third video on the information stream page, if the page jumps from the information stream page to the video playback page, the player is moved from the information stream page to the video playback page, and there is no need to recreate the player of the third video, thus realizing cross-page multiplexing of the player. Therefore, in the process of playing the video, there is no need to reload when switching pages, thus realizing seamless playback of videos across pages and improving the efficiency of video playback.

[0170] In various clients that support video playback, it is often necessary to switch between different pages during the video playback process. However, in the related art, when switching across pages, due to the re-creation of the player and the reloading of the video file, short interruptions, black screens, and loading delays in video playback often occur, seriously affecting the user experience. For example, when the information stream page automatically plays the video, if you switch to the video playback page, you need to recreate the player and load the video file, resulting in a significant delay in the switching process. For another example, when the information stream page does not automatically play the video, if you request to switch to the video playback page to play the video, a black screen and loading process will also occur due to the need to create a player and load video files, affecting the user's viewing experience.

[0171] In the embodiment of the present application, a solution for seamlessly playing videos across pages is proposed to solve the problems of switching delay and black screen in the above-mentioned cross-page video playback. The detailed process is as follows: Fig.12 As shown, the following steps are included.

[0172] 1. When requesting to play a video from the information flow page, jump to the video playback page.

[0173] 2. Determine whether the terminal has wireless fidelity enabled. If the wireless fidelity is not enabled, display the video cover of the video on the video playback page, create a player for the video, and download the video file for playback. If the wireless fidelity is enabled, perform the following step 3.

[0174] 3. Determine whether to reuse the player of the video. If yes, reuse the player directly on the video playback page for seamless playback. If no, execute the following step 4. The condition for reusing the player of the video is that the video has been played by the player of the video on the information flow page.

[0175] 4. Determine whether the player of the video is preloaded. If yes, seamlessly play the video directly on the video playback page through the preloaded player. If no, execute the following step 5.

[0176] 5. Determine whether the video file of the video is preloaded. If yes, display the video cover on the video playback page, create a video player, and use the player to quickly start playing the downloaded video file. If no, display the video cover on the video playback page, create a video player, and download the video file of the video for playback.

[0177] The embodiments of the present application avoid switching delays and black screen problems caused by playing videos across pages in multiple different scenarios through a combination of methods such as multiplexing players, preloading players, preloading video files, and displaying video covers, thereby achieving seamless connection of videos between multiple pages and greatly improving the user viewing experience.
