Problems solved by technology

The reason is that in the prior art, when each segment of the media stream is switched, it is necessary to complete all the splitters, decoders and renderers used in the previous media stream segment, and then re-initialize the splitter, decoder and renderer according to the latter media stream segment. renderer, which is bound to cause a noticeable switching interval

Embodiment Construction

[0018] In order to meet the increasing multimedia audio-visual requirements, the switching interval during the continuous playback of multiple media streams is eliminated. The creators of the present invention have carried out targeted research on this, and innovatively proposed a seamless playback method of multi-segment media streams, which can realize seamless playback with zero intervals in vision and hearing.

[0019] The implementation of the seamless playing method can play compatiblely on local media streams and network media streams. Take network media streaming as an example. like Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown in , it roughly shows the status of each process of the network multi-segment media stream (two adjacent segments) playback method. It can be seen from the figure that the first process state is the process of playing the first segment of media stream. Corresponding to the first segment of the media stream, those involved in the playback work include buffer...

Abstract

The invention discloses a seamless playing method for multiple segments of media streams. The main technical scheme is that: the method comprises the following steps: preparing the next segment of media stream when the previous segment of media stream is played normally; creating another separator for preparing to separate audio data from video data of the next segment of media stream; when the previous segment of media stream is finished, directly replacing the previous separator with the next separator under the condition that a decoder and a renderer are kept running, so that the multiple segments of media streams can be played continuously without any intermittence. By the technical scheme, a feasible scheme of continuously and seamlessly playing the multiple segments of media streams is supplied; and under the condition that a hardware environment of a player is not changed, the performance of the multimedia player and the user experience are improved greatly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a media playing technology, in particular to a seamless playing technology for continuous playing of multiple relatively independent media streams with zero interruption in vision and hearing, and belongs to the technical field of media digital processing. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of multimedia audio-visual technology, various film and television works have jumped into people's eyes like flowers. Except for various large-scale film works, most dramas or variety shows, serials, and documentaries exist in the form of hundreds of megabytes of media streaming files. Continuous playback according to the playlist, especially when switching between different media streams, almost inevitably leaves people with a feeling of flickering, which is commonly known as "stuck". The reason is that in the prior art, when each segment of the media stream is switched, it is necessary to complete all the splitters, ...
