The present disclosure provides a transmission method, device and storage medium for VR
live video, relating to the technical field of communication, wherein the method comprises: performing encoding
processing on video data transmitted by a VR live source to generate fragmented encoding data; performing encoding
processing on the fragmented encoding data to generate panoramic encoding data and main perspective encoding data; performing encapsulation
processing on the panoramic encoding data, the main perspective encoding data,
unicast fragmented data index information and audio to generate a
multicast stream and add a PMT table; transmitting the
multicast stream in a
multicast group, and when receiving a
unicast switching request transmitted by a terminal in the multicast
group based on the PMT table, transmitting
unicast fragmented data corresponding to the unicast switching request to the terminal. The method, device and medium of the present disclosure can be combined for transmission by using multicast and unicast, save network bandwidth, take
advantage of operator multicast bearing, reduce CDN bearing cost, be compatible with multiple types of terminals, and improve user experience.
