Description

Video publishing method and system, video playing method and system

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a video publishing method and system, a video playing method and system, and a video management system.

Background technique

At present, the existing video management system can realize the life cycle management of source video injection, storage, editing, distribution and traffic statistics. Video publishers often convert the injected source video into a different format, or a different rate of release video, and then publish the output video through different channels (such as websites, mobile phones, TVs), this time Each published video establishes a URL that can be accessed (Uniform/Universal Resource Locator, also known as a web address, which is the address of a standard resource on the Internet), and the user can publish the video accordingly through the URL access. If the video is unpublished, the user can no longer continue to access the published video via the URL.

After the video is released, the video management system needs to collect the traffic information during video playback, so as to accurately analyze the user source (user geographic location, user IP address, playback client used by the user to access the video, etc.), video hotspots that the user pays attention to, Distribute information such as traffic generated by the CDN (Content Delivery Network). In this way, the video provider can grasp the access situation of the published video at the same time, and also facilitate the video management system to control and charge the video traffic.

As shown in FIG. 1, the video provider, the source video, and the released video are stored in a video management system in a hierarchical relationship, that is, the video management system manages information of multiple video providers, and each video provider can Multiple source video files are injected, and each source video file can be transcoded into multiple published videos. Therefore, if you want to obtain more comprehensive video traffic statistics, the video player needs to obtain at least video provider information, source video information, and video information when accessing and playing video information according to the URL, so as to facilitate the video management system to play video statistics. Traffic information.

In the prior art, an implementation manner of acquiring video provider information, source video information, and publishing video information is provided: mapping a time stamp to an actual storage address of a video by using a URL mapping method, and providing video provider information and a source The video information is placed in the head of the video file and parsed by the video player during video playback. At this point, the URL obtained by the video player is similar to: Htt : //www.huawei.com/xwBb lf5; where xwBb 1 f5 is the timestamp. The advantage of the above technical solution is to realize the separation of the video transcoding and publishing process. When the video is transcoded, the video provider information and the source video information are placed in the video file header, so that any video can be read ( Programs that include local reads can take advantage of both of these information; when a video is published, relying on timestamps to generate URLs can reduce system overhead. In addition, the technical solution also hides the actual storage address of the video, and improves the security of video distribution. However, because the technical solution puts the video provider information and the source video information into the video file header, the video player needs to read related information from the video stream before the video is played, and parse out the video provider information and the source video. Information, which increases the resolution overhead of the video player and extends the parsing time.

detailed description

The embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

The video distribution method and system of the embodiment of the present invention generates a video URL by using the name of the video provider, the source video information, and the video, and establishes a mapping of the URL to the actual storage address of the video, so as to ensure that the video is released when performing traffic statistics. Security also reduces the video resolution overhead.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is a flowchart of a video publishing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, including: Step 101: Receive a video publishing request sent by a video providing end. The video provider sends a video distribution request to the video management system by using a video provider (for example, a computer), and the video distribution request includes at least an identifier of the video, that is, a video ID.

Step 102: Search for video provider information and source video information from the video storage server according to the video publishing request.

Step 103: Generate a uniform resource locator URL of the video according to the name of the video provider, the source video information, and the video, and establish a mapping relationship between the URL of the video and the actual storage address of the video, and save the mapping relationship to the video storage server.

After the video management system finds the video provider information and the source video information corresponding to the request from the video storage server according to the video ID in the video distribution request, according to the video provider information, the source video information, and the name of the video. The aspect information generates a URL of the video, so that when the video is played, the video player can directly report the video traffic information to the video management system according to the above three aspects after obtaining the URL of the video, without parsing the video file header. The method obtains video provider information and source video information, which greatly reduces the resolution cost of the video and shortens the parsing time.

To ensure the security of video distribution, after the URL of the video is generated, the video management system needs to establish a mapping relationship between the URL of the video and the actual storage address of the video to hide the actual storage path of the video and prevent the illegal user from scanning the video address maliciously. As an implementation manner of establishing a mapping relationship in the embodiment of the present invention, an Alias command of the Apache server may be used: Alias/key/var/web, key/introduction. mp4 is mapped to /var/web/introduction.mp4. Of course, the foregoing implementation manner is only an example. In an actual application, the mapping between the URL of the video and the actual storage address of the video is established by using other methods, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Step 104: Send information that the video is successfully posted to the video provider.

After the video management system completes the two steps of generating a URL including the video provider information, the source video information, and the video name, and establishing a mapping relationship between the URL and the actual storage address of the video, the video provider returns a successful video distribution. Information, at this point, the entire process of video distribution of the embodiment of the present invention is completed.

In order to further improve the security of the video distribution, the video distribution method provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

Finding video provider information and/or source video information before generating the URL of the video Performing code conversion; then generating the URL of the video in step 102 includes: the URL specifically includes the encoded video provider information and/or the encoded source video information.

Before performing step 103, the video management system first encodes and converts the video provider information and/or the source video information found in step 102, and hides the real storage data of the video provider information and/or the source video information in the video storage server. In order to further improve the security of video distribution. Specifically, Base62 encoding or hashing can be used to complete the encoding conversion. The following is a brief introduction to the process of encoding and converting video provider information and source video information by taking Base62 encoding as an example.

(1) The video management system acquires the video Provider's storage serial number (ie, video provider information) from the video storage server according to the video distribution request, and performs the video Provider's storage serial number.

The Base 62 code converts to form a video provider ID with a fixed bit length.

(2) The video management system obtains the storage sequence number (ie, source video information) of the source video from the video storage server according to the video distribution request, and performs Base62 encoding conversion on the storage sequence number of the source video to form a source video ID having a fixed bit length. ;

(3) Generate the URL of the video by using the three aspects of the video provider ID, the source video ID, and the name of the video. By using the video provider ID instead of the video provider's storage serial number, source video ID instead of the source video's storage serial number, the real storage of the serial number in the video storage server can be hidden.

In order to facilitate the video provider to manage the video that is distributed by the video provider, the video publishing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

Obtaining timestamp information before generating the URL of the video; then generating the video in step 103

The URL includes: The URL also includes timestamp information. That is to say, the URL at this time includes four aspects of video provider information, source video information, video name and time stamp information. Since the timestamp information of each video release is different, even if the names of the video provider information, the source video information, and the video are the same, it is guaranteed that the generated URL is different, and the video provider can utilize the timestamp. Information sets user permissions and manages the videos it publishes.

For example, video provider A publishes a video and provides the generated URL-1 to friend B (ie, B has the right to publish the video through URL-1 access), and provides the generated URL-2 to friend C (ie C has the right to publish the video through URL-2, where URL-1 is different from the timestamp information contained in URL-2. If video provider A cancels the video corresponding to URL-1, then Friend B can no longer access the video through URL-1, but friend C can still continue to access the video released by A through URL-2, which is convenient for A to control the video it publishes.

In the same manner, in order to improve the security of the video distribution, the video distribution method of the embodiment of the present invention further includes: after the timestamp information is obtained, the timestamp information is encoded and converted, and the URL of the generated video in step 103 includes: Time-stamped information that has been encoded and converted. The encoding conversion of the timestamp information can also be done using Base62 encoding or hashing.

In the video distribution method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the mapping relationship between the URL of the video and the actual storage address of the video can be established by using the following four mapping rules, where WRZA6 is the video provider information, kUKYPr is the source video information, and introduction.mp4 For the name of the video, xwBblf5 is the timestamp information:

(1) Map the video provider information, source video information, and timestamp information as the same path of the URL, for example:

Http: //www.huawei.com/blRZA6-kUKYPr- xwBblf5/introduction.mp4.

(2) Map the video provider information, source video information, and timestamp information as different paths of the URL, for example:

(3) The video provider information and the source video information are mapped as the same path of the URL, and the time stamp information is used as a URL parameter, for example:

Http : //www.huawei om/blRZA6-kUKYPr/introduction.mp4?timestamp= xwBblf5.

(4) The video provider information and the source video information are mapped as different paths of the URL, and the time stamp information is used as a URL parameter, for example: xwBblf5.

Further, after performing step 104, the video provider can also cancel the video distribution according to the actual playing condition of the video. As shown in FIG. 3, it is a schematic flowchart of canceling video distribution in the video publishing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

Step 201: Receive a cancel release request sent by the video provider, and cancel the URL including the video in the release request. Step 202: Delete a mapping of the URL of the video to the actual storage address of the video. Step 203: Send information to the video providing end that the unpublishing is successful.

If the video provider wants to cancel the release of a certain video, it first needs to submit a cancellation request to the video management system, and the cancellation request should at least include the URL of the video, so that the video management system can search from the video storage server according to the URL of the video. And delete the mapping of the URL to the actual storage address of the video. After the video management system deletes the mapping relationship between the URL and the actual storage address of the video, the information about the unpublished success is returned to the video provider. At this time, if the video player requests the video storage server to play the video corresponding to the URL, the video storage The server returns a request for error information to the video player, that is, the user cannot continue to access the video through the original URL. In the embodiment of the present invention, the mapping between the URL and the actual storage address is established when the video is released, and the mapping of the URL to the actual storage address is deleted when the publication is cancelled, which reduces the publishing overhead, and has better performance under the large concurrent access volume, that is, Said that the video management system can handle more video publishing requests and unpublishing requests at the same time under the same hardware conditions such as CPU and memory system.
