Detailed Description

Generally, during the downloading process of the video, the downloading progress of the video can be determined according to the total number of bytes of the video and the number of bytes downloaded. Specifically, when downloading a video, a connection needs to be established with a server providing the video, and in the case of establishing the connection, the server may return information such as the total number of bytes of the video to be downloaded. Therefore, in the video downloading process, the downloading progress of the video can be determined according to the total number of bytes returned by the server and the number of bytes downloaded.

For example, assuming that the total number of bytes of the video to be downloaded is a and the number of bytes downloaded is B, the downloading progress of the video is (B/a) × 100%.

However, for m3u8 formatted video, m3u8 video is usually combined by multiple video clips, and when m3u8 video is downloaded, multiple video clips need to be downloaded one by one. When downloading each video segment, based on the above-mentioned video downloading process, the server only returns the total number of bytes of the video segment. Therefore, the problem that the total byte number of only one video segment can be determined in the process of downloading the m3u8 video, the total byte number of the m3u8 video cannot be determined, and the downloading progress of the m3u8 video cannot be determined.

In order to solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a method and an apparatus for determining a video downloading progress, where the method includes: acquiring a text file of a target video, wherein the format of the target video is m3u8, and the text file comprises download addresses of a plurality of video clips of the target video; analyzing the text file to obtain download addresses of the video clips, and downloading the video clips according to the download addresses; determining a progress parameter related to the downloading progress of the plurality of video clips in the process of downloading the plurality of video clips; and determining the downloading progress of the target video according to the progress parameter.

The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application may be used to determine the download progress of a video in m3u8 format, and may also be used to determine the download progress of other videos combined by multiple video clips.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining a video download progress according to an embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of the present embodiment may be a terminal that performs video downloading. The method is as follows.

S102: the method comprises the steps of obtaining a text file of a target video, wherein the format of the target video is m3u8, and the text file comprises download addresses of a plurality of video clips of the target video.

A video in m3u8 format generally consists of a text file ending in m3u8 and a plurality of video clips, wherein the text file comprises download addresses of the plurality of video clips. According to the embodiment of the application, when the target video with the format of m3u8 is downloaded, the text file of the target video can be obtained.

When the text file of the target video is obtained, the method specifically includes the following steps:

firstly, the method comprises the following steps: and acquiring a download address of the target video.

For example, for target video A, the download address of A.m3u8 http:// www.video/a.m3u8 can be used.

Secondly, the method comprises the following steps: and establishing network connection with the server according to the download address.

The server may be a server that provides the target video, and establishing a network connection with the server based on the download address may be understood as accessing the download address.

It should be noted that the network connection with the server is set up here to determine whether the download address is legal or valid, i.e. whether the server allows downloading the target video. If the download address is legal or valid, the network device can be successfully established with the server, and the server returns a successful type of HTTP status code (e.g., 200).

Thirdly, the method comprises the following steps: if the network connection is successfully established, a target file is established in the local download directory.

If the HTTP status code of the success type returned by the server is received, it may be determined that the network connection with the server is successfully established. When the network connection with the server is successfully established, the download address can be considered to be legal or valid, the server allows the target video to be downloaded, at this time, the downloading of the target video can be started, and the target file can be created in the local download directory, so that the target video can be downloaded into the target file later.

Alternatively, if an HTTP status code of an error type returned by the server is received, it may be determined that the network connection with the server is not successfully established. In the case that the network connection with the server is not successfully established, the download address can be considered to be illegal or invalid, the server does not allow the target video to be downloaded, and the subsequent steps can be not required to be executed. In the embodiment of the present application, the successful establishment of the network connection with the server may be taken as an example for explanation.

Fourthly: and establishing network connection with the server again, and downloading the text file into the target file according to the downloading address.

When the downloading of the target video is started, the network connection with the server needs to be established again. It should be noted that the purpose of establishing the network connection with the server is to download the target video, which is different from the above-mentioned confirmation of whether the download address is legal or valid.

And under the condition that the network connection with the server is successfully established again, the text file can be downloaded to the target file according to the downloading address. Wherein the text file comprises download addresses of a plurality of video segments constituting the target video.

Fifth, the method comprises the following steps: and acquiring the text file from the target file.

After downloading the text file of the target video into the target file, when acquiring the text file, the text file may be acquired from the target file.

S104: and analyzing the text file to obtain the download addresses of the video clips, and downloading the video clips according to the download addresses.

After the text file of the target video is obtained, the text file can be analyzed to obtain download addresses of a plurality of video clips included in the text file, wherein the plurality of video clips are a plurality of video clips forming the target video.

In this embodiment of the application, analyzing the text file of the target video to obtain the download addresses of the multiple video segments may specifically include:

firstly, the text file is analyzed to obtain a plurality of key fields included in the text file.

The text file may generally include a plurality of key fields, and one key field may include information related to one video clip, where the related information may include a playing time length of the video clip and a download address of the video clip.

After the text file is analyzed, a plurality of key fields included in the text file can be obtained.

For example, the text contents included in the text file are as follows:

#EXTM3U

#EXT-X-VERSION:3

#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0

#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:YES

#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:5

after the text file is analyzed, the following 11 key fields can be obtained:

#EXTINF:4.064,http://www.video/a/0.ts

#EXTINF:4.0,http://www.video/a/1.ts

#EXTINF:4.0,http://www.video/a/2.ts

the 11 key fields correspond to 11 video segments, taking a first key field "# extinnf: 4.064, http:// www.video/a/0. ts" as an example, 4.064 in the key fields is the playing time length of the video segments corresponding to the key fields, and http:// www.video/a/0.ts is the downloading address of the video segments corresponding to the key fields.

Secondly, a downloading list is obtained according to the related information of the video clips included in the key fields, and the downloading list includes the downloading addresses of the video clips.

Still taking the above 11 key fields as an example, according to the related information of the video clips included in the 11 key fields, a download list including the download addresses of the 11 video clips can be obtained.

After the download addresses of the plurality of video segments constituting the target video are obtained, the plurality of video segments can be downloaded according to the download addresses.

In this embodiment of the present application, when downloading a plurality of video segments, one thread may be used for downloading, or a plurality of threads may be used for downloading, and when downloading using a plurality of threads, assuming that the number of the plurality of threads is t and the number of the video segments is N, each thread needs to process (N/t) video downloading tasks, where if (N/t) is not an integer, one of the threads (e.g., the last thread) may be selected to process the remaining downloading tasks. According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the downloading progress of the plurality of video clips downloaded on each thread can be determined. For ease of understanding, the following description may take the example of downloading multiple video clips using one thread.

S106: determining a progress parameter related to the downloading progress of the plurality of video clips in the process of downloading the plurality of video clips.

In this embodiment of the application, the progress parameters related to the downloading progress of the multiple video clips at least may include: the number of the plurality of video segments, the number of video segments downloaded, the total number of bytes of video segments being downloaded, and the number of bytes downloaded.

The number of the plurality of video segments is equal to the number of the analyzed download addresses, the number of the downloaded video segments can be obtained by statistics of the download terminal, the total byte number of the video segments being downloaded can be returned by the server providing the target video, and the downloaded byte number of the video segments being downloaded can be determined by the download terminal.

S108: and determining the downloading progress of the target video according to the progress parameter.

In the embodiment of the present application, considering that, in a general case, the playing durations of a plurality of video segments constituting a target video are substantially the same, and that, in a case where the playing durations are substantially the same, the sizes of the plurality of video segments are also substantially the same, therefore, in a case where the progress parameter at least includes the number of the plurality of video segments, the number of downloaded video segments, the total number of bytes of a video segment being downloaded, and the number of bytes downloaded, the download progress of the target video can be determined by the following formula:

wherein l is the downloaded byte number of the video segment being downloaded, k is the total byte number of the video segment being downloaded, M is the number of the downloaded video segment, and N is the number of the video segment.

For example, assuming that the number of video segments constituting the target video is 10, the 10 videos are downloaded by 1 thread, the number of currently downloaded video segments is 4, the total number of bytes of 1 video segment being downloaded is 200kb, and the number of bytes downloaded is 100kb, then the current download progress is: (100/200+4)/10 × 100% ═ 45%.

It should be noted that, in a case that the difference between the playing time lengths of the plurality of video segments constituting the target video is smaller than or equal to the preset threshold (the difference between the playing time lengths of the corresponding plurality of video segments is smaller than or equal to the preset threshold), the downloading progress of the target video can be determined through the above formula. The preset threshold value can be set manually according to the accuracy of the downloading progress.

It should be noted that, in individual cases, the difference between the playing durations of the video segments may be greater than the preset threshold, and accordingly, the difference between the total number of bytes of the video segments is also greater than the preset threshold, and then the method for determining the downloading progress may no longer be applicable. In this case, in order to determine the downloading progress of the target video, the size relationship between the total number of bytes of the plurality of video segments may be determined according to the size relationship between the playing durations of the plurality of video segments, and then the downloading progress may be determined under the condition that the number of the plurality of video segments, the number of downloaded video segments, the total number of bytes of the video segments being downloaded, and the number of bytes being downloaded are known.

The playing duration of the video clip may be determined according to the key fields obtained by the analysis in S104, where one key field includes related information of one video clip, and the related information includes the playing duration of the video clip.

Still taking the above 10 video segments downloaded by 1 thread as an example, assuming that the downloaded 4 video segments are A, B, C and D, the video segment being downloaded is E, the video segments not being downloaded are F, G, H, I and J, A, B and C have playing durations 2 times of E, D and F have playing durations the same as E, and G, H, I and J have playing durations 1.5 times of E, then it can be considered that the total byte count of A, B and C is 2 times of E, the total byte count of D and F is the same as E, the total byte count of G, H, I and J is 1.5 times of E, the total byte count of known E is 200kb, the byte count of downloaded is 100kb, and then the current downloading progress is: [ (200 × 2 × 3+200+100)/(200 × 2 × 3+200 × 3+200 × 1.5 × 3) ] × 100% — 55.6%.

After determining the downloading progress of the target video, optionally, the downloading progress may be displayed in a downloading interface, so that the user may clearly know the downloading progress of the current target video.

Optionally, for each video clip, after the video clip is downloaded, the video clip may also be named. In the naming, the video clip may be named preferably according to the index of the video clip in the download list described in S104.

Taking the above download address download list comprising 11 video segments as an example, the download address http:// www.video/a/0.ts of the first video segment in the list is located at 0 in the list, then the first video segment can be named as 0. ts; the download address http:// www.video/a/1.ts of the second video segment is located at 1 in the list, then the second video segment can be named as 1. ts; … …, respectively; by analogy, the last video segment may be named 10. ts.

After the video clip is named, the video clip can be stored. Preferably, the video clip may be stored in the object file described in the above S102.

After the plurality of video clips of the target video are named and stored based on the method, the text file of the target video can be updated.

Specifically, after storing a plurality of video clips of the target video, storage paths of the plurality of video clips may be determined, and then download addresses of the plurality of video clips included in the text file may be replaced with the storage paths of the plurality of video clips, thereby updating the text file of the target video.

Taking the above text file including the download addresses of 11 video clips as an example, assuming that the named 11 video clips are stored in the destination file a under the download file of the local SD card, the storage paths of the 11 video clips may be:

sdcard/download/A/0.ts

sdcard/download/A/1.ts

sdcard/download/A/2.ts

sdcard/download/A/3.ts

sdcard/download/A/4.ts

sdcard/download/A/5.ts

sdcard/download/A/6.ts

sdcard/download/A/7.ts

sdcard/download/A/8.ts

sdcard/download/A/9.ts

sdcard/download/A/10.ts

replacing the download addresses of the 11 video clips in the text file with the storage paths of the 11 video clips, so as to obtain the following updated text file:

#EXTM3U
