With the foregoing drawings in mind, certain embodiments of the disclosure have been shown and described in more detail below. These drawings and written description are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosed concepts in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the disclosure to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

The terms referred to in the embodiments of the present application are explained as follows:

video coding standards: the method is mainly applied to the field of real-time video communication, such as conference television, video storage (DVD), broadcast television, streaming media on the Internet or wireless networks, and the like, and refers to a standard for generating videos through coding.

Local memory: the term "cloud storage" is used as a relative concept, and refers to a storage provided in a server.

Cloud storage: the term "local memory" refers to a memory located in the cloud.

H.264: one of the Video coding standards is the highly compressed digital Video codec standard proposed by the Joint Video Team (JVT) consisting of the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) and the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) jointly.

H.265: one of the video coding standards is the new video coding standard established by ITU-T VCEG following h.264.

The embodiment of the present application provides a video playing method, which may be applied to a scene where a video is played, for example, playing a video such as a movie, a video, a small video, an advertisement-type video, and the like may be included, and the present embodiment is not limited.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of an application scenario of a video playing method according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1, a user 101 may obtain a video from a server 103 through a terminal device 102.

In one example, the user 101 may obtain a video from the server 103 by voice based on the terminal device 102.

For example, an audio capture device may be disposed in the terminal device 102, and the terminal device 102 may capture a voice instruction of the user 101 to obtain a video through the audio capture device, and may parse the captured voice instruction to determine a video that the user 101 wishes to be played, and generate and send a play request to the server 103, where the play request is used to request the server 103 to obtain a video that the user 101 wishes to be played.

In another example, the user 101 may obtain a video from the server 103 based on the terminal device 102 by means of a touch screen.

For example, the terminal device 102 may support a touch screen function, and the user 101 may input a video desired to be played on a screen of the terminal device 102 by means of manual revenue, and accordingly, the terminal device 102 transmits a play request for requesting the server 103 to acquire the video desired to be played by the user 101 based on the video desired to be played input by the user to the server 103.

It should be noted that, with the technical development of the video coding standard, the level of the video coding standard is upgraded from h.264 to h.265, that is, h.265 is an upgraded version of h.264, and h.265 has the advantages of reducing the bandwidth compared with h.264, so that more and more videos are generated by using the video coding standard of h.265.

However, in the related art, since part of the players is not upgraded, part of the players may support video generated based on the h.264 video coding standard but not video generated based on the h.265 video coding standard, which may result in that part of the players cannot play video generated based on the h.265 video coding standard.

For example, in combination with the application scenario shown in fig. 1, if the video stored in the server 103 is a video generated based on the video coding standard of h.265, and the player in the terminal device 102 is a player that does not support the video generated based on the video coding standard of h.265, the terminal device 102 cannot play the video that the user 101 wishes to play.

In other embodiments, there may be another situation, for example, continuing the analysis in conjunction with the application scenario shown in FIG. 1 as follows:

although the player in the terminal device 102 supports the video generated by the video coding standard of h.265 and the video generated by the video coding standard of h.264 stored in the server 103 can play the video generated by the video coding standard of h.264, the problem that the consumed bandwidth is relatively high and the viewing experience of the user is low may be caused.

In combination with the above analysis, it can be known that, if the method for playing a video in the related art is adopted, the problem that the player cannot play the video due to incompatibility between the player and the video may occur, and the problem that the consumption of broadband resources is high due to incompatibility between the player and the video may also occur.

In order to solve at least one of the above problems, the inventors of the present application have made creative efforts to obtain the inventive concept of the present application: the server can store videos respectively generated based on two video coding standards, and by adding the identifier of the video coding standard of h.265 to the storage address of the video generated based on the video coding standard of h.264, correspondingly, if the player supports playing of the video generated based on the video coding standard of h.265, the player can determine the storage address of the video generated based on the video coding standard of h.264 and the identifier, and play the video generated based on the video coding standard of h.265.

The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how to solve the above technical problems with specific embodiments. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.
