TV channel addition method and device

Abstract

The present application discloses a method and device for adding a TV channel, including: storing a channel package corresponding to the added channel in the channel server, the channel package including channel attribute information and a plug-in instance; the plug-in instance is used to call the playback function of the TV terminal to play the content of the added channel The TV terminal downloads the channel package corresponding to the additional channel from the channel server, parses out the channel attribute information and plug-in instances in each channel package, and stores the channel attribute information and the plug-in instance; the TV terminal generates additional channels according to the channel attribute information of each channel package Channel list; after the TV end receives a switching instruction to switch to an additional channel, it reads the plug-in instance corresponding to the additional channel pointed to by the switching instruction, calls the local plug-in instance engine to run the read plug-in instance, and the plug-in instance calls The playback function on the TV end plays the content of the additional channel. The invention can improve the access efficiency of TV additional channel service.
