The invention provides a live-
broadcasting video forwarding method and device, applied to a node
server that is communicated with a resource
server and a user terminal. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a video acquisition request sent by the user terminal, wherein the video acquisition request is used to acquire a target live-
broadcasting video source;
parsing the video acquisition request, and if a protocol of the video acquisition request is a preset first protocol, establishing a live-
broadcasting session of the first protocol with the user terminal; acquiring a live-broadcasting
data stream of a second protocol of the target live-broadcasting video source from the resource
server, and
parsing the live-broadcasting
data stream to obtain an effective
data stream, wherein the second protocol is a non-
open protocol; and sending the effective data
stream to the user terminal through the live-broadcasting session of the first protocol. Thereby, the effect of switchingthe transmission mode of a live-broadcasting video
stream from the non-open second protocol to the open first protocol can be implemented without changing the phenomenon that node services obtain live-broadcasting video
stream subscription
modes from the resource server, and the
failure rate that the user terminal receives live-broadcasting videos can be reduced.
