A plurality of embodiments will be provided below, and it will be understood that the various embodiments provided below may be used to solve the technical problems described above.

Fig. 1 schematically shows an environment application diagram of a video playing method according to a first embodiment of the present application. In an exemplary embodiment, the content provider 3 may connect a plurality of computer devices 2 over the network 4 in an exemplary embodiment.

The content provider 3 may provide services over one or more networks 4. Network 4 may include various network devices such as routers, switches, multiplexers, hubs, modems, bridges, repeaters, firewalls, proxy devices, and/or the like. The network 4 may include physical links, such as coaxial cable links, twisted pair cable links, fiber optic links, combinations thereof, and/or the like. The network 4 may include wireless links such as cellular links, satellite links, Wi-Fi links, and/or the like.

The content provider 3, which may be composed of a plurality of servers, provides the computer device 2 with a web browsing service and media stream data, which includes audio stream data or video stream data. The plurality of servers may include virtualized compute instances. The virtualized computing instance may include a virtual machine, such as an emulation of a computer system, an operating system, a server, and so forth. The server may load the virtual machine based on a virtual image and/or other data that defines the particular software (e.g., operating system, dedicated application, server) used for emulation. As the demand for different types of processing services changes, different virtual machines may be loaded and/or terminated on one or more servers. A hypervisor may be implemented to manage the use of different virtual machines on the same server.

The computer device 2, as a client terminal, may be configured to access content and services of the content provider 3. The computer device 2 may comprise any type of computing device, such as a mobile device, a tablet device, a laptop computer, a set-top box, a smart television, and so forth.

Computer device 2 may be associated with one or more users. A single user may use one or more of the computer devices 2 to access the content provider 3. The computer device 2 may access the content provider 3 using a different network.

In an exemplary embodiment, the computer device 2 may include a browser 21. The browser 21 outputs (e.g., displays, presents) the content to the user. The content may be presented in a page, and may include video, audio, commentary, textual data, and/or the like. The computer device 2 may comprise a user interface 22, which user interface 22 may comprise input elements. For example, the input element may be configured to receive user instructions that may cause the computer device 2 to perform various types of operations, such as sending a page access request to the content provider 3.

Example one

Fig. 2 schematically shows a flowchart of a media content playing method according to a first embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the flow charts of the embodiments of the method are not used to limit the order of executing the steps. It will be appreciated that the present method embodiments may be implemented in a computer device 2.

As shown in fig. 2, the media content playing method may include steps S200 to S206, wherein:

step S200, acquiring a playing page.

The browser 21 may send a page access request to the content provider 3 based on a user instruction to cause the providing content provider 3 to return a corresponding page resource. The browser 21 receives and renders the returned page resource to obtain the playing page, which can be used for presentation on the display interface of the computer device 2.

Step S202, performing an initialization operation on a player component, where the player component is configured to play the media content in the playing page, and the initialization operation includes a media source extension initialization operation and a pull stream initialization operation that are processed in parallel in time.

When the media source extension initialization operation or the pull stream initialization operation is waited, the player is in a waiting idle state, and based on the initialization characteristic of the multiple asynchronous operations, the initialization operations of the media source extension initialization operation and the pull stream initialization operation can be performed in parallel, so that the time required by the initialization of the player component can be greatly saved. Further, initializing the player component, further comprising: and synchronously starting the media source extension initialization operation and the pull stream initialization operation. Specifically, when the computer device 2 completes the parsing operation (manifest partial), the media source extension initialization operation and the pull stream initialization operation are simultaneously started. When the same time node is started, the consumed time of the media source extension initialization operation and the pull stream initialization operation can be always in an optimal state. Of course, in other embodiments, the media source extension initialization operation and the pull stream initialization operation may also be respectively started at different time nodes. For example, the pull stream initialization operation needs 300ms, the media source extension initialization operation needs 100ms, and theoretically, the start time node of the media source extension initialization operation may be any time node within 200ms after the pull stream initialization operation is started, and a specific value is more preferable as the value is more advanced.

In addition, the player component initialization has a specific service responsible for initialization, so the player component initialization operation corresponding to the playing page may have a plurality of policies, for example:

strategy one, a play priority strategy:

in an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the step S202 includes steps S300-S302, wherein: step S300, judging whether the playing page is loaded successfully or not; step S302, if the playing page is judged to be loaded successfully, the initialization operation of the player component is started. Otherwise, continuing to wait until the playing page is loaded successfully. Once the page element is loaded, it can be known whether the play page has been loaded successfully by calling back window.

In this embodiment, as soon as the browser enters the playing page, the playing page performs an immediate initialization operation of the player component, so as to increase the starting speed of the page playing.

Strategy two, instruction strategy:

in some active pages, it is necessary to perform the player component initialization operation again when the user clicks the corresponding cover or board. As shown in fig. 4, step S202 includes steps S400 to S402, in which: step S400, judging whether an operation instruction triggered by a user is received; step S402, if an operation instruction triggered by the user is received, starting an initialization operation on the player component. The operation instruction can be generated based on various forms such as a mouse, a keyboard, voice, touch and the like. And excessive consumption of browser resources corresponding to certain active pages is prevented by a user triggering mode.

Step S204, determining whether the media source extension initialization operation and the pull stream initialization operation have been completed.

The media source extension initialization operation comprises: the method comprises the steps of obtaining a media element, instantiating a media source extension, attaching a media source extension instance to the media element, and updating the current state of the media source extension instance. The media source extension instance may assume three states: close, "closed", open "and end" ended ":

close "closed", the media source extension instance is not attached to the media (video/audio) element;

open ", the media source extension instance has attached to the media (video/audio) element and is ready to receive data or is receiving data;

ending "ended", the media source extension instance has attached to the media (video/audio) element and all of its media stream data is passed to the media (video/audio) element, i.e., the media stream data has been buffered.

The media source extension initialization operation steps can be as follows:

step one, instantiating the media source extension to obtain a media source extension instance (current state: closed ");

step two, attaching the media source extension instance to the media (video/audio) element (current state: closed);

for example, before attachment: < video >/< audio >; after attachment: https:// www.bilibili.com/4845d5a2-747d-41ea-b1ba-52389465bdef ">".

And step three, waiting for the current state of the media source extension instance to be updated to open', namely asynchronously triggering a sourceopen event.

As shown in fig. 5, the step S204 may further include steps S500 to S502, wherein: step S500, detecting the current state of the media source extension instance of the media source extension; step S502, if the current status is waiting for receiving data, determining that the media source extension initialization operation has been completed. That is, the current state of the instance of the media source extension is detected, and if the current state is open, "it indicates that the initialization operation of the media source extension is completed.

As shown in fig. 6, the step S204 may further include steps S600 to S602, wherein: step S500, media stream data is obtained from the server, specifically, the media stream data can be obtained from the server by a Fetch or XMLHTTPRequest method; step S502, if the media stream data returned by the server is received, it is determined that the pull stream initialization operation has been completed. The server may be a certain server in the content provider 3.

Step S206, if the media source extension initialization operation and the pull stream initialization operation have been completed, executing a media content playing operation.

If the media source extension initialization operation and the pull stream initialization operation are completed, the player component initialization operation is completed, and the player component can perform a playing operation of media content (audio and video files) after the initialization operation is completed. Specifically, the media stream data is added to the media source extension instance, and a media content playing operation is performed based on the media stream data.

As described above, the media content playing method according to the first embodiment:

the media source extension initialization operation and the pull stream initialization operation occupy a large proportion of time in the whole player component initialization, the asynchronous initialization mode is changed in the embodiment, and the media source extension initialization operation and the pull stream initialization operation are processed in parallel in the player component initialization process, so that the time required by the player component initialization is effectively saved.

It can be seen that, in this experiment, the present embodiment saves 100ms in the player component initialization process.
