Description

Method, electronic device and storage medium for multimedia resource carousel

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of multimedia resource playing technologies, and in particular, to a multimedia resource carousel method, an electronic device, and a storage medium.

Background

The multimedia resources comprise picture resources, audio and video resources, animation resources and the like. The multimedia resource carousel refers to the circulation playing of the multimedia resources in a fixed sequence and in a live form. Illustratively, the server lays out A, B, C three movies in a carousel resource and plays them in a loop in a live form. Different from the on-demand, the resource carousel simulation is a live broadcast mode, and is a video live broadcast service provided by an online video live broadcast protocol.

The carousel has various advantages of live broadcasting (such as high timeliness and strong interactivity), and inherits the disadvantages of live broadcasting, such as the fact that a user cannot acquire the playing time length and the playing progress of the currently played resource when watching the carousel resource.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. 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.

In order to more clearly describe the multimedia resource carousel method provided by the present application, the following first introduces a multimedia resource carousel method in the prior art with reference to a specific application scenario. It should be understood that the multimedia resources in the present application may include one or more of picture resources, audio and video resources, animation resources, and the like.

Fig. 1 is a scene schematic diagram applicable to the multimedia resource carousel method provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the scenario includes: intelligent device and server. The intelligent device is an electronic device capable of resource carousel, such as an intelligent television, an intelligent mobile phone, an intelligent sound box with a display screen, and the like. The server can be a code stream server and is used for providing carousel resources for the intelligent equipment.

An application program supporting the resource carousel can be installed on the intelligent device, and a user can open the application program to watch the carousel resources. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of interface changes of a smart device in the prior art. As shown in the interface 201 of fig. 2, 3 multimedia resources to be played in turn, which are respectively a multimedia resource a, a multimedia resource B, and a multimedia resource C, can be displayed on the interface. The multimedia resource a includes a sub-resource 1, a sub-resource 2, a sub-resource 3, and a sub-resource 4. Illustratively, the multimedia resource a may be a movie carousel resource, and correspondingly, the sub-resource 1, the sub-resource 2, the sub-resource 3, and the sub-resource 4 included therein may be 4 movies, such as movie a, movie b, movie c, and movie d, respectively.

The server may be pre-arranged according to the order of sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, and sub-resource 4, and arranged to multi-media resource a. When the intelligent device is an intelligent television, the user can select the multimedia resource a through a control device (such as a remote controller) (for example, the dashed box indicates that the multimedia resource a is selected), so that the intelligent television circularly plays the multimedia resource a according to the sequence of the sub-resource 1, the sub-resource 2, the sub-resource 3 and the sub-resource 4. It is conceivable that, when the smart device is a smart phone, the user may select the multimedia resource a on the interface of the smart phone by clicking or other operation manners, so that the smart phone cyclically plays the multimedia resource a according to the sequence of the sub resource 1, the sub resource 2, the sub resource 3, and the sub resource 4.

It should be understood that fig. 2 illustrates an example in which the smart device is a smart tv. Correspondingly, after the user selects the multimedia resource A, the smart television starts to perform carousel on the multimedia resource A. The interface of the smart television jumps to the interface 202, and the sub-resource 1 (e.g. a video frame of the movie a) is displayed on the interface 202. It should be noted that the carousel format is a play format in which a certain number of sub-resources are played in a loop in a live manner. The user opens the multimedia resource at any time and watches at any time, and the playing position of the watched sub-resource depends on the position of the sub-resource pushed by the server at that time (refer to the following description of the carousel principle).

Since carousel is a live broadcast form, the live broadcast technology in the prior art does not support obtaining the current play duration and play progress of the multimedia resource watched by the user. Therefore, in the current resource carousel process, when a user watches carousel resources, the current playing duration and playing progress of the multimedia resources cannot be obtained, and the user experience is poor. Illustratively, as shown in the interface 202 in fig. 2, when the user views the current playing time and the playing progress of the multimedia resource according to the prior art, the current playing time and the playing progress of the multimedia resource are not displayed on the interface. If the user clicks the interface of the smart phone when watching the carousel resource on the smart phone, the current playing duration and the playing progress of the multimedia resource are not displayed on the interface.

Compared with the on-demand service, when the user watches the carousel resource on the smart phone, the user clicks an interface of the smart phone, and the current playing time and playing progress of the multimedia resource are displayed on the interface, as shown in the interface of the smart phone in fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of interface changes of a smartphone in the prior art. As shown in interface 301 of fig. 3, a video on demand, such as movie x, is played on the smartphone. When the user clicks on interface 301, the interface transitions to interface 302. Correspondingly, as shown in the interface 302, the current playing time and playing progress of the movie x are displayed on the interface 302.

In order to solve the above problem, the present application provides a multimedia resource carousel method, where when an intelligent device requests a server for a multimedia resource to be carousel, a multimedia resource returned by the server carries time information of the multimedia resource, so that the intelligent device obtains and displays a play duration and/or a play progress of the multimedia resource according to the time information of the multimedia resource, so that a user can obtain the play duration and/or the play progress of the played multimedia resource when watching the carousel resource, thereby improving user experience.

Before introducing the multimedia resource carousel method provided by the present application, a resource carousel principle adopted in the present application is first explained. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a resource carousel principle. Shown in fig. 4 is multimedia asset a, which includes sub-asset 1, sub-asset 2, sub-asset 3, and sub-asset 4. The sub-resources are connected end to form a closed loop.

Wherein the sub-resources are characterized by different gray color patches in fig. 4. The server divides each sub-resource into a plurality of slice resources in advance according to a preset slice rule. For example, sub-resource 1 includes 5 slice resources, sub-resource 2 includes 3 slice resources, sub-resource 3 includes 5 slice resources, and sub-resource 4 includes 5 slice resources.

The playing time length corresponding to each slice resource may be the same or different, and the slice rules corresponding to different sub-resources may be the same or different. Illustratively, for example, the playing duration corresponding to each slice resource in the sub resource 1 is 10s, and the playing durations corresponding to 3 slice resources in the sub resource 2 are 3s, 5s, and 8s, respectively. In the present application, there is no limitation on the rule how the server slices the child resources. It should be understood that, for convenience of description, the following embodiments take the example that the playing time length corresponding to each slice resource is 10 s.

To facilitate the description of the transmission of slice resources in the carousel principle, each slice resource in fig. 4 is first numbered sequentially, such as slice resources 1-18.

When the intelligent equipment requests the multimedia resource from the server, the server sends the multimedia resource to the intelligent equipment according to the position of the currently pushed multimedia resource. Illustratively, if the multimedia resource currently pushed by the server is a slice resource 1-3, the slice resource 1-3 is sent to the smart device. And if the multimedia resource currently pushed by the server is the slice resource 2-4, sending the slice resource 2-4 to the intelligent equipment. The number of slice resources pushed to the intelligent device by the server at a time may be fixed or unfixed, and the pushing rule may be preset. If the number of the slice resources pushed to the intelligent device by the server each time is 3, the pushing rules can be that pushing is carried out at intervals of one or more, if the number of the slice resources pushed last time is 1-3, the slice resources are pushed this time 2-4; or the slice resource pushed last time is 1-3, and the slice resource pushed this time is 3-5. In this embodiment, the number of slice resources and the pushing rule that the server pushes to the smart device at a time are not limited. It should be understood that, in the following embodiments, the number of slice resources pushed to the smart device by the server at a time is 3, and the pushing rule is that the slice resources pushed last time are 1 to 3, and the slice resources pushed this time are 2 to 4.

It should be understood that the intelligent device in the present application may include a carousel application layer processor and a player, and in the present application, a web proxy module is disposed in the carousel application layer, and the web proxy module interacts with the server and the player respectively, so as to complete carousel of resources and display of the play duration and/or the play progress.

The following describes a multimedia resource carousel method provided by the present application from the perspective of web proxy module, server and player interaction. Fig. 5 is a first interaction flow diagram of a multimedia resource carousel method provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the method for multimedia resource carousel provided in this embodiment may include:

s501, the player sends a carousel request to the web proxy module, the carousel request is used for requesting multimedia resources to be carousel, the carousel request comprises the identification of the multimedia resources to be carousel, and the multimedia resources to be carousel comprise at least one sub-resource.

Correspondingly, the web proxy module receives a carousel request from the player.

It should be understood that the main function of the web proxy module in this embodiment is to virtualize a web proxy server, i.e. http web server, locally on the intelligent device side. Correspondingly, when receiving a carousel request input by a user, the player may request the web agent module for a multimedia resource to be carousel, that is, send the carousel request to the web agent module.

The specific manner in which the web proxy module receives the carousel request input by the user may be different according to the type of the intelligent device. The method for the intelligent device to send the carousel request to the server by the user triggering in fig. 2 and fig. 3 may be specifically referred to.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an interface change of the smart device provided in the present application. Therein, the interface 601 in fig. 6 may be the same as the interface 201 in fig. 2 in the prior art. When a user selects the multimedia resource a in the interface 601 by means of a control device (such as a remote controller), a limb action, or voice interaction, the above-mentioned interaction between the web proxy module and the player may be performed, so that the player sends a carousel request to the web proxy module. The carousel request is used for requesting a multimedia resource to be carousel, and correspondingly, the multimedia resource to be carousel is a multimedia resource a.

It should be understood that the resource pre-organized by several sub-resources (e.g. movies, audio, pictures) etc. is referred to as the multimedia resource to be carousel in this embodiment. The carousel request comprises an identifier of a multimedia resource to be carousel, and the multimedia resource to be carousel comprises at least one sub-resource. It will be appreciated that the identity of the multimedia asset to be carousel can uniquely identify the multimedia asset to distinguish it from other multimedia assets. Illustratively, the identification of the multimedia resource to be carousel may be a.

S502, the web proxy module forwards the carousel request to the server.

Correspondingly, the server receives the carousel request from the web proxy module.

In this embodiment, a web proxy module is arranged in the carousel application layer, and is configured to interact with a server to obtain multimedia resources to be carousel. Wherein, when the web proxy module receives the carousel request from the player, the carousel request may be forwarded to the server.

S503, the server sends a second carousel response to the intelligent device according to the identifier of the multimedia resource to be carousel, the second carousel response includes at least one slice resource of at least one sub-resource, time information of each slice resource and a playing sequence identifier, and the time information includes a playing start time of the slice resource in the sub-resource to which the slice resource belongs and a total playing duration of the sub-resource to which the slice resource belongs.

Correspondingly, the web proxy module receives a second carousel response sent by the server. It should be understood that, in order to distinguish the carousel responses in this embodiment, the web proxy module receives the carousel response sent by the server as the second carousel response, and the web proxy module sends the carousel response to the player as the first carousel response.

In view of the fact that the resource carousel is a live broadcasting means, when the server sends the multimedia resource to be carousel to the web proxy module, the slice resource sent to the web proxy module can be determined according to the position of the multimedia resource to be carousel pushed by the current server.

In this embodiment, when the server receives the carousel request from the web proxy module, a second carousel response is sent to the web proxy module according to the identifier of the multimedia resource to be carousel. The carousel response includes a download address of at least one slice resource of at least one sub-resource, time information of each slice resource, and a playing sequence identifier of the slice resource, where the time information includes a playing start time of the slice resource in the sub-resource to which the slice resource belongs and a total playing duration of the sub-resource to which the slice resource belongs.

Illustratively, if the multimedia resource to be carousel pushed by the current server is movie 1 in the multimedia resource a, the server starts to push the resource to be carousel from the first slice resource of movie 1, and the number of slice resources pushed by the server is 3. Correspondingly, the second carousel response includes download addresses of the slice resource 1, the slice resource 2, and the slice resource 3 of the sub-resource movie 1 in the multimedia resource a, and time information and play sequence identifiers of the slice resource 1, the slice resource 2, and the slice resource 3.

Taking the time information of the slice resource 1 as an example, the time information of the slice resource 1 includes the playing start time (e.g. 0s) of the slice resource 1 in the sub-resource (movie a) to which the slice resource belongs and the total playing duration of the sub-resource to which the slice resource belongs, for example, the total playing duration of the movie a is 60 s. It is understood that the time information of the slice resource 2 includes the play start time 10s of the slice resource 2 in the movie a, and the total play duration of the movie a is 60 s. Correspondingly, the time information of the slice resource 3 includes the play start time 20s of the slice resource 3 in the movie a, and the total play duration of the movie a is 60 s.

The playing sequence identifier of the slice resource 1, the slice resource 2, and the slice resource 3 may be an order representing the playing sequence of the slice resource 1, the slice resource 2, and the slice resource 3. Illustratively, as the playing order of the slice resource 1, the slice resource 2 and the slice resource 3 is the slice resource 1, the slice resource 2 and the slice resource 3, respectively, the playing order identifiers of the slice resource 1, the slice resource 2 and the slice resource 3 may be 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

It should be noted that, if the multimedia resource to be carousel currently pushed by the server is the last slice resource of movie a and the first two slice resources of movie b, the second carousel response includes slice resources of two sub-resources. Such as movie a slice resource 6 and movie b slice resource 1 and slice resource 2. Wherein, the time information of the slice resource 1 of the movie b includes a playing start time 0s of the slice resource 1 in the movie b, and the total playing duration of the movie b is 20 s. Alternatively, the playback order identifiers of the slice resource 1 and the slice resource 2 of the movie a and the movie b may be 6, 7, and 8, respectively.

In a possible implementation manner, the resource carousel in this embodiment may adopt an existing HTTP-based streaming media network transmission protocol, that is, an hls (HTTP Live streaming) protocol. Wherein, the download address of at least one slice resource of the at least one sub-resource, the time information of each slice resource, and the play order identifier of the slice resource included in the second carousel response may all be encapsulated in a list file, such as an m3u8 list file.

Correspondingly, after receiving the carousel request from the web proxy module, the server may write the download address of at least one slice resource of at least one sub-resource to be sent, the time information of each slice resource, and the play sequence identifier into the list file according to the number of slice resources allowed to be carried in the carousel response of the web proxy module. It should be understood that the server may slice the multimedia resources to be played in turn in advance, store the time information of each slice resource, and generate and store the playing sequence identifier of each slice resource correspondingly. After receiving a carousel request sent by a web proxy module, time information and a play sequence identifier of a to-be-sent slice resource can be acquired, and the time information and the play sequence identifier of the to-be-sent slice resource and a download address of the slice resource are written into a list file.

The server may encapsulate the download address of the list file in a second carousel response and send the second carousel response to the web proxy module. Optionally, in this embodiment, the server may directly send the download address of the list file to the web proxy module.

After the web agent module obtains the download address of the list file from the server, the list file can be downloaded according to the download address. Considering that the list file is obtained by the server through the HLS protocol, correspondingly, the web proxy module analyzes the list file by using the HLS protocol to obtain a download address of at least one slice resource of the at least one sub resource, time information of each slice resource, and a play sequence identifier.

S504, the web proxy module sends a first carousel response to the player, wherein the first carousel response comprises at least one slice resource of at least one sub-resource and a playing sequence identifier of each slice resource.

Correspondingly, the player receives a first carousel response sent by the web proxy module. In view of the fact that the web proxy module calculates and obtains the playing time length and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource in this embodiment, the web proxy module may send at least one slice resource of at least one sub-resource in the second carousel response and the playing sequence identifier of each slice resource to the player.

In this embodiment, in a possible implementation manner, the sending, by the web proxy module, the first carousel response to the player may include:

the web proxy module sends a list file (such as the m3u8 list file described above) to the player. The list file comprises a virtual address of at least one slice resource of at least one sub-resource and a playing sequence identifier of each slice resource, and the virtual address is a local address corresponding to the web proxy module. After the player parses the list file, in view of the local address corresponding to the web proxy module requested by the player, the player parses the obtained virtual address of the at least one slice resource of the at least one sub-resource as the local address corresponding to the web proxy module. Thus, the player also sends a slice resource request to the web proxy module to request at least one slice resource of the at least one sub-resource in the list file.

Correspondingly, after receiving the slice resource request sent by the player, the web proxy module may forward the slice resource request to the server. And after receiving the slice resource request, the server sends at least one slice resource of the at least one sub-resource to the web proxy module. Correspondingly, after the web proxy module receives the at least one slice resource of the at least one sub-resource, the at least one slice resource of the at least one sub-resource may be sent to the player.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the player may select to store or download a target slice resource from the received at least one slice resource of the at least one sub-resource, where the target slice resource is a slice resource that is not stored or downloaded in the at least one slice resource. The following description will take downloading as an example.

Illustratively, if the slice resources pushed last by the server are

slice resources

1, 2, and 3 of movie a, at least one slice resource pushed this time is

slice resources

2, 3, and 4 of movie a. Considering that the player has already downloaded the

slice resources

1, 2, and 3 of movie a, only the slice resource 4 of movie a needs to be downloaded currently, i.e. the slice resource 4 of movie a is the target slice resource. By adopting the method, the repeated slice resource downloading, the occupation of the storage space and the waste of the downloading flow can be avoided.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the sequence number identifier of each slice resource in the multimedia resource to be carousel is different. As shown in fig. 4, numbers 1 to 18 in fig. 4 may be sequence number identifiers of each slice resource, and correspondingly, in this embodiment, the player may determine the target slice resource according to the sequence number identifier of the slice resource.

Optionally, the slice resource in this embodiment also carries an identifier of a sub-resource to which the slice resource belongs, and the playing sequence identifiers of the slice resources of one sub-resource are different. Illustratively,

slice resources

1, 2, and 3, such as movie a, carry an identification of movie a, such as a; the slice resources 1 and 2 of movie b carry the identifier of movie b, respectively. Wherein, the playing sequence identifiers of the

slice resources

1, 2 and 3 in movie a are 1, 2 and 3, respectively, and the playing sequence identifiers of the slice resources 1 and 2 in movie b are 1 and 2, respectively. Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the player may determine the target slice resource according to the sequence number identifier of the slice resource and the identifier of the sub-resource carried by each slice resource. Illustratively, the play order identification of the

slice resources

1, 2, and 3 of the movie a may be a1, a2, A3, which can not only characterize the play order of the

slice resources

1, 2, and 3, but also characterize the sub-resources to which the

slice resources

1, 2, and 3 belong.

And S505, the web proxy module acquires the playing time and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource according to the time information of the currently played slice resource of the player.

It should be understood that, when the web proxy module receives the second carousel response, in view of that the second carousel response includes the time information of each slice resource, correspondingly, the web proxy module obtains the playing time and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource according to the time information of the currently played slice resource of the player. Optionally, the web proxy module may determine the currently played slice resource and the time information of the currently played slice resource according to the playing sequence identifier of the currently played slice resource of the player.

The following describes a specific manner in which the web proxy module in this embodiment displays the playing duration and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource according to the time information of the currently played slice resource:

optionally, fig. 7 is a schematic flow chart illustrating the process of obtaining the playing time and/or the playing progress of the slice resource played before being obtained. As shown in fig. 7, the above S505 may include:

s5051, the played time of the currently played slice resource is acquired.

In this embodiment, a first possible implementation manner for obtaining the played time of the currently played slice resource is as follows: and determining the played time of the currently played resource frame of the currently played slice resource relative to the played time of the first resource frame of the currently played slice resource as the played time.

For example, taking the slice resource 1 of the movie a as an example, taking the first resource frame of the slice resource 1 as an example, and taking the played time of the currently played resource frame relative to the first resource frame as 3s, the played time of the currently played slice resource is 3 s.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the played Time of the resource frame currently being played relative to the first resource frame of the slice resource currently being played may be calculated by using Time Stamp information of the resource frame, such as (Presentation Time Stamp, PTS), of the current resource frame relative to the played Time of the first resource frame.

In this embodiment, a second possible implementation manner for obtaining the played time of the currently played slice resource is as follows: and taking the played time of the currently played slice resource represented by the system clock as the played time.

Illustratively, taking the slice resource 1 of the movie a as an example, taking the first resource frame of the slice resource 1 as 10s as an example, the time represented by the system clock starting to play the first resource frame is 10 o 'clock 30 min 30s, and the time represented by the system clock playing the current frame is 10 o' clock 30 min 33s, then the played time of the currently played slice resource represented by the system clock is 3 s.

Optionally, the manner in which the web proxy module in this embodiment calculates and acquires the playing time and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource may be preferentially selected from the second possible implementation manner in S504 in the above embodiment, and this implementation manner may avoid a problem that, in the first possible implementation manner, the player needs to call an interface to query the PTS information of the resource frame to implement the calculation when calculating the playing time and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource each time. In a second possible implementation manner, the playing duration and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource can be obtained only by calculating according to the time information represented by the system clock when the first frame starts.

S5052, acquiring the playing time length of the currently played slice resource according to the playing start time and the played time of the currently played slice resource in the sub-resource to which the currently played slice resource belongs; and/or acquiring the playing progress of the currently played slice resource according to the playing time length of the currently played slice resource and the total playing time length of the sub-resource to which the currently played slice resource belongs.

In this embodiment, since the carousel response includes the play start time of each slice resource in the sub resource to which the slice resource belongs, the web proxy module may obtain the play start time and the played time of the currently played slice resource in the sub resource to which the slice resource belongs, and obtain the play duration of the currently played slice resource. Illustratively, the playing start time of the currently playing slice resource in the sub-resource is 30s, the played time of the currently playing slice resource is 3s, and the playing duration of the currently playing slice resource is 33 s.

After the web agent module obtains the playing time of the currently played slice resource, the playing progress of the currently played slice resource can be obtained by combining the total playing time of the sub-resource to which the currently played slice resource belongs. Illustratively, as described above, if the playing time length of the currently played slice resource is 33s, and the total playing time length of the sub-resource belonging to the currently played slice resource is 60s, the playing progress of the currently played slice resource is 33s/60 s-55%.

In a possible implementation manner of this embodiment, the slice resource in this embodiment also carries an identifier of a sub-resource to which the slice resource belongs, and the identifiers of the playing sequences of the slice resources of one sub-resource are different. The web proxy module may recalculate the play time and/or the play progress when the web proxy module determines that the currently played slice resource and the last played slice resource belong to different sub-resources. Illustratively, the slice resource 6 of movie a, the slice resource 1 of movie b, and the slice resource 2 are included in the second carousel response. Correspondingly, when the currently played slice resource is the slice resource 1 of the movie b, and considering that the slice resource is different from the sub-resource to which the last played slice resource 6 belongs, in this embodiment, the playing progress of the last sub-resource may be cleared by 0, and the calculation of the playing time and/or the playing progress of the sub-resource movie b may be restarted.

In this embodiment, the web agent module executes a process of obtaining the playing duration and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource, so that the carousel application layer of the intelligent device can also sense the time information of the slice resource.

S506, the web proxy module sends the playing time length and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource to the player.

Correspondingly, the player receives the playing time length and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource from the web proxy module.

S507, the player plays the slice resources according to the playing sequence identification of the slice resources, and displays the playing time and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resources according to the playing time and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resources sent by the web proxy module.

In this embodiment, the player may play the slice resource according to the playing sequence identifier of the slice resource. Specifically, the downloaded target slice resources are sequentially played according to the playing sequence identifier of the downloaded target slice resources. In this embodiment, when playing a slice resource, the playing duration and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource may be displayed.

Specifically, the player may display the playing time and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource according to the received playing time and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource from the web proxy module. Illustratively, corresponding to the interface 601 in fig. 6, the interface jumps to the interface 602 after the user selects the multimedia resource a to be carousel. The interface 602 may display a video frame of the movie a, and unlike the interface 202, the interface 602 in this embodiment further displays the playing time and/or the playing progress of the movie a. Illustratively, the playing time of movie a is 30s, and the playing progress can be represented by a prior art progress bar, such as 1/2.

Optionally, the player may display the playing time length and/or the playing progress of the currently played slice resource after receiving a request for displaying the playing time length and/or the playing progress input by the user. The request for displaying the playing time length and/or the playing progress can be sent to the player after the web agent module receives the request for displaying the playing time length and/or the playing progress input by the user. Optionally, the user selects an "ok" control on the remote controller, that is, inputs a request for displaying the playing time length and/or the playing progress to the carousel application layer processor. Or, if the user clicks an interface of the intelligent terminal, the request for displaying the playing time length and/or the playing progress is input to the carousel application layer processor.

In the above embodiments, it is described by taking an example that the web proxy module sends a carousel request to the server, for example, after the web proxy module requests to acquire the

slice resources

1, 2, and 3 of the sub-resource movie a, the web proxy module needs to request again to acquire the

slice resources

2, 3, and 4 of the movie a, that is, the web proxy module continuously sends a carousel request to the server, and the server can continuously return a second carousel response to the web proxy module, so that the player can continuously play the multimedia resource to be carousel. It should be understood that the web proxy module sends a new carousel request to the server, i.e. when the player sends a carousel request to the web proxy module.

The timing for the player to send the carousel request to the web proxy module again may be: in the downloaded slice resources, if a preset number of slice resources are left and are not played, the player sends a new carousel request to the web proxy module. Illustratively, if the preset number is 2, a new carousel request is sent to the server when the slice resource 1 is played (slice

resources

2 and 3 are left unplayed). Alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

the carousel response in this embodiment further includes time information of each slice resource, where the time information includes a play start time and a play end time of the slice resource in the sub-resource to which the slice resource belongs. Correspondingly, the player can send a new carousel request to the web proxy module when determining that the resource of the currently played slice resource with the remaining preset time is not played according to the playing start time and the playing end time of the currently played slice resource in the affiliated sub-resource. Illustratively, if the remaining preset time is 2s, a new carousel request is sent to the web proxy module when the playing slice resource 1 still has 2s (if the total duration of the slice resource 1 is 10s, and the currently played slice resource is 8 s).

Wherein the new carousel request is used for requesting multimedia resources to be carousel. It should be appreciated that when the web proxy module receives the new carousel request, the new carousel request may be sent to the server. Correspondingly, after receiving the new carousel request, the server may send the download address of at least one slice resource of at least one new sub-resource to be sent, the time information of each slice resource, and the play sequence identifier to the web proxy module according to the number of slice resources allowed to be carried in the carousel response.

Correspondingly, after the web proxy module receives a new carousel response to be sent from the server, the steps in S504-S506 can be performed.

Optionally, fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of a server provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 8, the server may include a list file update module, a resource parsing module, and a storage module. After the server receives the new carousel request, the list file update module may update the list file (m3u8 file) according to the HLS protocol specification. Specifically, the list file updating module may call the resource parsing module, and for example, the list file updating module sends an update request to the resource parsing module. After the resource analysis module receives the update request, the time information and the sequential carousel identifier of the slice resource to be sent can be acquired in the storage module, so that the time information and the sequential carousel identifier of the slice resource to be sent are sent to the list file update module. The list updating module can write the time information and the sequential carousel identifier of the slice resource to be sent into a list file, and the list file is an updated list file.

Illustratively, the storage module stores therein time information and sequential carousel identification of a plurality of slice resources of the multimedia resource to be carousel. Table one is an exemplary storage method:

watch 1

Taking a1(0-10s, 60s) as an example, where a1 is the sequential carousel identifier of the slice resource, 0-10s are the start playing time and the end playing time of the slice resource in the sub-resource to which the slice resource belongs, and 60s is the total playing time of the sub-resource to which the slice resource belongs.

Optionally, in this embodiment, after receiving the second carousel response sent by the server, the web proxy module may set the total play duration of each sub-resource. Specifically, the storage may be in the form of key-value, where key is an identifier of the sub-resource, and value is a total playing time length of the sub-resource.

In this embodiment, an interface for querying the total playing time of the sub-resource may be added to the web proxy module, and according to the above design, the carousel application may already know the playing progress of the sub-resource when the current sub-resource is played, that is, it is known that the sub-resource is played too long and remains not played for a long time. When the player detects that the current sub-resource is played completely, the next sub-resource starts to be played, the player can request the time length information of the sub-resource from the web proxy module, and the web proxy module queries the key-value storage list according to the identifier of the requested sub-resource to complete the instant update of the total playing time length of the sub-resource.

Optionally, at any time when the sub-resource is played, the player may send a request for querying the total playing time of the sub-resource to the web proxy module. Corresponding to the scene, the player sends a query request to the web proxy module. The query request is used for requesting the total playing time length of the sub-resource to which the currently played slice resource belongs.

After receiving the query request sent by the player, the player may send the total playing time length of the sub-resource to which the currently played slice resource belongs to the player, and correspondingly, after receiving the total playing time length of the sub-resource to which the currently played slice resource belongs, the player may display the total playing time length of the sub-resource to which the currently played slice resource belongs.
