Media requesting control method and media player

Abstract

The invention discloses a media requesting control method and a media player. The media requesting control method comprises the following steps that the media player receives a program requesting request input by a user; a thread is started according to the program requesting request to initialize the requested program; before the requested program is initialized, if the media player receives a program switching request input by the user, switching information corresponding to a program to be switched is stored; whether the requested program is initialized or not is judged, and if the requested program is initialized, whether the media player receives the program switching request of the user in the process of initializing or not is judged, wherein if the media player receives the program switching request, the program is switched over, then the program to be switched is initialized again, and if not, the program requested by the user is directly played. According to the media player, the program can be requested and switched over smoothly, an existing media playing method is effectively improved, and meanwhile the user experience degree and user satisfaction are greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of media-on-demand, in particular to a media-on-demand control method and a media player. Background technique [0002] When users enjoy video or audio programs on-demand through the Internet on media players such as set-top boxes and smart phones, the speed of on-demand is not only related to the performance of the playback software itself, but also related to factors such as the network environment and program file size. Every time the network is ordered, the media player first connects to the network according to the network play link address corresponding to the program being ordered, and then requests data download. This process sometimes takes a certain amount of time, and the media player is always in the Initialization state, if the user switches programs during this process, the media player may not be able to switch to the next program in time because the last program ordered has not been initialized, result...

Problems solved by technology

Every time the network is ordered, the media player first connects to the network according to the network play link address corresponding to the program being ordered, and then requests data download. This process sometimes takes a certain amount of time, and the media player is always in the Initialization state, if the user switches programs during this process, the media player may not be able to switch to the next program in time because the last program ordered has not been initialized, resulting in state conflicts, object deadlocks, and finally causing the media player to freeze or wait , and even cause the media player to crash in severe cases, thus having a certain impact on user experience
