Description

Method and device for playing video

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to the field of browser technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for playing a video.

Background

Although a plurality of browsing kernels are popular in the mobile terminal at present, the browser kernels except the system own browser kernel are not allowed to enter on an iOS (apple mobile operating system) platform, so that the development of each browser is carried out for the second time on the basis of the Safari (browser in an operating system of an apple computer) or IE (web browser produced by Microsoft corporation) kernels, and functions and user interfaces are optimized. Developing web page related functionality in mobile applications requires a webview component based on the system browsing kernel.

When a video playing button in a webpage (for example, a HyperText Markup Language 5 (html 5) page) with video playing is clicked to play, a default player of a system is called up, if a user-defined player needs to be called up, the user-defined player needs to be interacted with the webview through Javascript (an transliterated script Language which is a dynamic type, a weak type, a Language based on a prototype, and a built-in support type), so that a click event of the webpage is obtained, and meanwhile, the default player of the system is cancelled, and the user-defined player is called up. However, because the webview content can slide at will and be refreshed at will, when the positions, sizes, and display statuses of the video after refreshing are all likely to change, and the player stops playing in an asynchronous thread, the custom player can only be added to the designated position of the screen at present and is displayed in the screen in a full-screen, ceiling-mounted, or small-window manner. It is not possible to embed custom players in web pages.

With continued reference to FIG. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method for playing a video in accordance with the present application is shown. The method for playing the video comprises the following steps:

step 201, in response to monitoring an event that the target application loads a webpage including a video to be played, adding a preset placeholder map of the player on the webpage.

In this embodiment, an electronic device (for example, the terminal shown in fig. 1) on which the method for playing a video operates may receive a web page from a server through a wired connection manner or a wireless connection manner, where the web page may be, for example, an asp page, an aspx page, a jsp page, an htm page, an html (which may include html4, html5, and the like) page, a html page, and the like. For example, an event of a web page including a video to be played may be loaded on a contentview in the webview where the web page is located by listening to the webview. The occupation bitmap is used for occupying a part of the webpage page to reserve a position for the player. When the webpage is loaded, the placeholder map can be displayed on a screen of the terminal. When the page loading is complete, the webview is passed the size, location, video information (e.g., uniform resource locator), etc. of the occupied bitmap through the script (e.g., javascript) of the web page.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, adding a preset placeholder map of the player on the webpage includes: determining the size of a occupied bitmap to be added according to the number of characters of a webpage; and selecting a placeholder with the same picture size as the determined placeholder from a preset candidate placeholder set, and adding the placeholder to the webpage. The content, location, and size of the occupied bitmap may be defined in accordance with the web page content when generating the script for the web page. The placeholder map may be a clickable play button picture, and is pre-stored in the terminal. This placeholder map is a portion of the web page that changes as the content of the web page changes. For example, the number of characters of the webpage to be displayed is counted, and if the number of characters is smaller than a preset character threshold, a larger occupied bitmap can be selected. The ratio of text area to footprint area can also be set, for example, 3: and 1, adjusting the size of the placeholder map according to the word size of the webpage.

Step 202, in response to monitoring the event of clicking the occupation bitmap, acquiring the position of the occupation bitmap and the uniform resource locator of the video.

In this embodiment, the user may click on the placeholder map displayed on the screen of the terminal. Once the terminal monitors the event of clicking the placeholder map, the location of the placeholder map and a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the video can be acquired through webview. The video may be downloaded from a server via a URL.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the method further includes: the size of the occupying bitmap is acquired so that the player is displayed at the position of the occupying bitmap according to the size of the occupying bitmap in step 203.

Step 203, displaying the player at the position occupying the bitmap.

In this embodiment, the player displayed after clicking the occupation bitmap is a preset player, that is, a custom player, rather than a system default player. Therefore, the expandability of the user-defined player can be fully utilized, and the user-defined functions of user behavior statistics, barrage, episode list, automatic switching of the next episode and the like are increased.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the preset player presents at least one of the following information: playing progress information, loading progress information, user behavior statistical information, barrage information and playlist information. The playing progress information may display the length and percentage of time that has been played in a progress bar manner. The loading progress information may display the length of the video that has been downloaded in a percentage manner. The user behavior statistical information may include information on the number of times the user repeatedly plays, the number of fast-forwards, the pause time, and the like. The player also supports the function of barrage, and the user can input barrage information. Videos that are not played or have already been played by the player may be displayed in a playlist.

And step 204, playing the video in the player according to the uniform resource locator.

In the present embodiment, a predetermined player loads a play screen by setting a video play address (e.g., URL) based on the AVFoundation framework of the iOS system. The AVFoundation is a framework that can be used to use and create time-based audiovisual media and provides a level of detail interface that can use time-based audiovisual data. For example: it can be used to examine, create, edit or re-encode media files. The input stream can also be obtained from the device, and operated and played back when the video is played in real time. The start and stop of playback are done in different threads. It is an asynchronous operation because the process of starting playback, stopping playback includes informing the network to start, stop loading video playback resources, etc.

With continued reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the method for playing a video according to the present embodiment. In the application scenario of fig. 3, a user opens a web page including a video using a target application (e.g., Safari browser) on the terminal 300. When the terminal monitors an event that a target application loads a webpage including a video to be played, a preset placeholder map (for example, a play button picture) of a player is added to the webpage. After the user clicks the occupation bitmap, the terminal monitors an event clicking the occupation bitmap, and acquires the position of the occupation bitmap (for example, the middle position of a webpage page) and a uniform resource locator (for example, http:// www.letv.com/ptv/vplay/822277.html) of the video. The terminal then displays the player 301 at the location of the placeholder. Finally, the terminal plays the video in the player 301 according to the uniform resource locator. The terminal can adopt a player which is pre-defined by a user instead of a player which is default by the system. And the player is embedded in the web page.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the player is embedded into the webpage by adopting the method of occupying the bitmap, and the user-defined player can be added at any position of the webpage, so that the consistency of the content display of the webpage and various user-defined functions supported by the user-defined player are ensured.

With further reference to fig. 4, a flow 400 of yet another embodiment of a method for playing a video is shown. The process 400 of the method for playing a video includes the following steps:

step 401, in response to monitoring an event that the target application loads a webpage including a video to be played, adding a preset placeholder map of the player on the webpage.

And 402, responding to the event of clicking the occupation bitmap, and acquiring the position of the occupation bitmap and the uniform resource locator of the video.

And step 403, displaying the player at the position occupying the bitmap.

And step 404, playing the video in the player according to the uniform resource locator.

The

steps

401 and 404 are substantially the same as the

steps

201 and 204, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.

Step 405, in response to monitoring the event of refreshing the webpage, closing the player.

In this embodiment, a user may manually refresh a page, and the positions, sizes, and display states of the refreshed videos may change, so that the current player needs to be closed, and after the refreshing, whether the player is opened is determined according to the content of the refreshed page.

And step 406, in response to detecting that the webpage page is refreshed, displaying the player again at the position occupying the bitmap and continuing to play the video in the player.

In this embodiment, if the video address played last time still exists in the refreshed page script, the player is displayed again at the position occupying the bitmap, and the video is continuously played in the player. The placeholder map at this time can be adjusted in position or size according to the refreshed page content. The replay video can be played again, or can be played continuously from the last watching position. The user can preset the conditions for starting and continuing the playing again, so that the player can select the playing mode according to the preference of the user.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, before turning off the player, the method further includes: recording the playing progress of the video; continuing to play the video in the player, including: if the playing progress is smaller than a preset threshold value, starting to play the video from the beginning in the player; otherwise, the video is continuously played in the player according to the playing progress. The threshold may be a percentage of what has been played or a duration. For example, for more than 10 minutes, or more than 10% of the video that has been played, the playback may be continued without resuming the playback.

As can be seen from fig. 4, compared with the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, the flow 400 of the method for playing a video in the present embodiment highlights the steps of the processing of the webpage refresh operation. Therefore, the scheme described in this embodiment can monitor the event of page refreshing, close the player when the player exists on the page, maintain the consistency between the player and the refreshed webpage, and prevent the player from blocking the content of the refreshed webpage.

With further reference to fig. 5, as an implementation of the methods shown in the above-mentioned figures, the present application provides an embodiment of an apparatus for playing a video, where the embodiment of the apparatus corresponds to the embodiment of the method shown in fig. 2, and the apparatus may be specifically applied to various electronic devices.
