2. The video conversion device requests the service template to obtain the media playing address of the program 1 through the network card corresponding to the logged-in network plane.
3. The service template determines the type of program 1 requested by the video conversion apparatus. For example, if the user clicks an IPTV-type channel, the type of the program 1 is an IPTV type, and if the user clicks an OTT-type program, the type of the program 1 is an OTT type.
4. And the IPTV/OTT server requests to acquire the resolution of the program 1.
5. The IPTV server/OTT server returns the resolution of program 1 to the service template. For example, if the program 1 can correspond to multiple resolutions, the service template can obtain data with higher resolution in subsequent requests. Wherein steps 4 and 5 are optional steps.
6. The service template performs program content authentication subscription authentication to the IPTV server/OTT server, for example, the service template may send an authentication request to the IPTV server/OTT server, where the authentication request is used to request to obtain the playing right of the program 1.
After receiving the request for requesting the media playing address of the program 1 sent by the video conversion device, the service template may request the corresponding video server to obtain the data type of the program 1. For example, if the user requests program 1 and requests IPTV-type data, the service template requests the IPTV server to obtain the data type of program 1, and the IPTV server may return the data type of program 1 to the service template through query, and program 1 may include IPTV-type data and may also include OTT-type data, that is, for the same program, IPTV may be provided and OTT may also be provided. Then, if the data type returned by the IPTV server includes both IPTV type and OTT type, or the data type returned by the IPTV server only includes the IPTV type, the service template may directly perform step 9 without performing steps 6-8, and, if the data type returned by the IPTV server only includes the OTT type, the service template needs to determine whether the video conversion device has the right to play the OTT type program 1 before, such as whether to subscribe to the program 1 requesting to play the OTT type through the IPTV network plane, if the video conversion apparatus has previously ordered, for example, the video conversion apparatus has previously played out an OTT type program 1 in this way, step 9 can be performed directly, without performing steps 6-8, if the video conversion device has not subscribed before, the service template needs to request the IPTV server to subscribe to play the OTT type program 1.
7. The IPTV server/OTT server performs authentication subscription.
8. The IPTV server/OTT server returns a message of successful authentication and subscription of the played program to the service template, for example, the IPTV server/OTT server may send an authentication permission to the service template, where the authentication permission is used to indicate that the program 1 may be played.
9. And the service template requests the video server to obtain the media playing address of the program 1 according to the data type of the program 1 capable of being played. For example, if the data type of the program 1 is an OTT type and the type of the program 1 requested by the video conversion device is an IPTV type, the service template still requests the IPTV server for the media playing address of the program 1, or if the data type of the program 1 is an OTT type and the type of the program 1 requested by the video conversion device is an OTT type, the service template requests the OTT server for the media playing address of the program 1.
10. And the IPTV server/OTT server returns the media playing address of the program 1 to the service template.
11. The service template obtains the playing address of the program 1, and initiates a playing request to the video conversion device, wherein the playing request can carry the data type of the program 1.
12. The video conversion apparatus may assign routing information to the program 1.
For example, if the type of the program 1 requested by the video conversion device is an OTT type and the data type of the program 1 is also an OTT type, step 13 may be directly executed, that is, routing information does not need to be redistributed, and if the type of the program 1 requested by the video conversion device is an IPTV type and the data type of the program 1 is an OTT type, the video conversion device may perform network card switching, switch the used network card from the network card corresponding to the IPTV network plane to the network card corresponding to the OTT service plane, and send the switched network card information (i.e., new routing information) to the service template, so that the service template may send the data of the program 1 to the video conversion device through the routing information.
13. The video conversion device receives the data of the program 1 transmitted by the service template.
14. The video conversion apparatus plays program 1.
When playing the program 1, if the user wants to operate the program 1, such as fast forward, fast backward, etc., the user may operate through an input device such as a remote controller, or directly operate the video conversion apparatus, the video conversion apparatus sends a request to the service template after receiving the user's operation, and the service template sends the requested result to the video conversion apparatus through the corresponding video server, so that the user realizes the operation on the program 1.
