The method for playing the multimedia resource can be applied to a scene where a user watches the multimedia resource. As shown in fig. 1 (a), after selecting a multimedia resource, a user can watch the multimedia resource while caching, and if the user wants to watch the next multimedia resource, the user needs to quit the currently watched multimedia resource, select and enter the playing interface of the next multimedia resource, and watch the multimedia resource while caching. Or after the user selects the multimedia resource, the user watches the multimedia resource while caching, enters the user homepage of the watched multimedia resource, watches the video published by the author of the multimedia resource, and needs to exit the homepage of the current user when the user wants to watch the multimedia resource published by other users. Therefore, when a user watches the interested multimedia resources, the user can watch the multimedia resources only by continuously operating the mobile phone, and the user experience is poor. In order to improve the experience of a user in watching multimedia resources, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for playing multimedia resources, which can add a target multimedia resource (for example, a user is interested in) meeting a self-watching requirement to a to-be-played resource list, where the to-be-played resource list includes a plurality of to-be-played target multimedia resources, and a user can intensively and continuously watch a plurality of selected to-be-played target multimedia resources in the to-be-played resource list, thereby greatly simplifying the playing operation of the multimedia resources, providing a simple and efficient multimedia resource watching mode for the user, and providing a better user experience. As shown in fig. 1 (b), the scheme of the embodiment of the present application may first select a plurality of multimedia resources (for example, multimedia resources that are interesting to the user) meeting the viewing requirements of the user, and collectively and continuously view a plurality of selected target multimedia resources in the to-be-played resource list, which greatly simplifies the playing operation of the multimedia resources, provides a concise and efficient multimedia resource viewing mode for the user, and improves the user experience, compared with the method shown in fig. 1 (a).

Next, a brief description will be given of an implementation environment related to the embodiments of the present application.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment provided in the embodiment of the present application. The implementation environment may include a server 210 and a plurality of terminal devices (e.g., a first terminal device 220 and a second terminal device 230) that may establish a connection with the server 210 via a wired network or a wireless network.

For example, the terminal device in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a cellular phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an Augmented Reality (AR) \ Virtual Reality (VR) device, and other communication devices capable of viewing videos, and the embodiment of the present application does not particularly limit the specific form of the terminal device.

The server 210 may be a network device for storing the multimedia resource distributed by the terminal device and distributing the stored multimedia resource to the terminal device playing the video. Specifically, each of the plurality of terminal devices may publish the edited multimedia resource to the server 210. In addition, when playing the multimedia resource, the plurality of terminal devices may access the server 210 to obtain the multimedia resource stored in the server 210 and play the multimedia resource. The server 210 may be a single server, or may also be a server cluster composed of multiple servers, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The first terminal device 220 and the second terminal device 230 are devices used by a user. For example, a first user may use the first terminal device 220 to view a multimedia asset published by a second user at the second terminal device 230. The first terminal device 220 may also share the multimedia resource viewed by the first user to the second terminal device 230 for the second user to view. The first terminal device 220 and the second terminal device 230 are used for implementing the playing method of the multimedia resource provided by the embodiment of the application. For example, the first terminal device 220 is configured to display a resource preview interface, where the resource preview interface is used to perform preview display on the multimedia resource. For another example, the first terminal device 220 is further configured to respond to a to-be-played resource selection operation implemented on the resource preview page, acquire a target multimedia resource corresponding to the to-be-played resource selection operation, and add the target multimedia resource to a to-be-played resource list, where the to-be-played resource list includes a plurality of target multimedia resources to be played. For another example, the first terminal device 220 is further configured to respond to a play control operation of the to-be-played resource list, and play the corresponding target multimedia resource in the to-be-played resource list.

After the application scenarios and the implementation environments related to the embodiments of the present application are introduced, the method for playing the multimedia resource provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, as shown in fig. 3, a method for playing a multimedia resource provided in an embodiment of the present application includes steps S301 to S303.

S301, displaying the resource preview page.

The resource preview page is used for previewing and displaying the multimedia resource. The resource preview page includes a plurality of multimedia resources, and the plurality of multimedia resources may be issued by one user account or a plurality of user accounts. For example, the resource preview interface may be a focus page or a discovery page of the Feed stream, or may also be a work page of an author, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit which page the resource preview page is specific to. In the following embodiments, only the resource preview interface is described as an example of the discovery page shown in fig. 4 (a).

For example, as shown in fig. 4 (a), the resource preview page is a discovery page including a plurality of multimedia resources published by a plurality of user accounts.

S302, responding to the resource selection operation to be played implemented on the resource preview page, acquiring a target multimedia resource corresponding to the resource selection operation to be played, and adding the target multimedia resource to the resource list to be played.

The resource list to be played comprises a plurality of target multimedia resources to be played.

For example, the target multimedia asset may be a multimedia asset to be played according to a viewing requirement of the user (for example, a multimedia asset which is interested by the user or desired to be viewed by the user). For example, the user may select a multimedia resource that is of interest to the user on the resource preview page, respond to the to-be-played resource selection operation implemented on the resource preview page, obtain a target multimedia resource corresponding to the to-be-played resource selection operation, and add the target multimedia resource to the to-be-played resource list. The selection operation of the resource to be played may be one operation or multiple operations, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

For example, as shown in (b) of fig. 4, the user selects a target multimedia asset to be played, which is of interest to the user, in the asset preview page, and presses a cover of the target multimedia asset for a long time, and in response to the long-time pressing operation, a later-view control shown in (c) of fig. 4 is displayed on the cover of the target multimedia asset. As shown in (d) in fig. 4, after the user clicks the later viewing control, in response to the click operation of the user, the target multimedia resource is obtained, and the target multimedia resource is added to the to-be-played resource list.

For example, when the target multimedia resource is added to the to-be-played resource list in step S302, the terminal device may obtain the target multimedia resource corresponding to the to-be-played resource selection operation by itself, and add the target multimedia resource to the to-be-played resource list, or the terminal device may obtain the to-be-played resource list from the server side.

For example, in a first implementation manner, the step S302 includes: in response to the resource selection operation to be played implemented on the resource preview page, the terminal device itself obtains a target multimedia resource corresponding to the resource selection operation to be played, and adds the target multimedia resource to the resource list to be played.

For example, in a second implementation manner, the step S302 includes: in response to the resource selection operation to be played implemented on the resource preview page, the terminal equipment acquires an identifier of a target multimedia resource corresponding to the resource selection operation to be played; the terminal equipment sends a resource list to be played request to the server, wherein the resource list to be played request comprises the identification of the target multimedia resource; the terminal equipment receives a resource list to be played from the server, wherein the resource list to be played comprises target multimedia resources corresponding to the identification of the target multimedia resources. That is, the terminal device may obtain the to-be-played resource list of the target multimedia resource to which the to-be-played resource selection operation has been added through interaction with the server. It can be understood that, in this implementation manner, the server stores the resource list to be played, and through interaction between the terminal device and the server, the terminal device may obtain, from the server, the resource list to be played to which the target multimedia resource corresponding to the resource selection operation to be played has been added. Optionally, the target multimedia resources to be played in the resource list to be played sent by the server to the terminal may be sorted according to a preset sorting type.

Optionally, after the target multimedia resource corresponding to the resource selection operation to be played is added to the resource list to be played in step S302, a page entry of the resource list page to be played and prompt information may be displayed on the resource preview page, where the prompt information is used to indicate that the target multimedia resource has been added to the resource list to be played. And when the page entry user of the resource list page to be played is triggered, displaying the resource list page to be played.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, after the target multimedia resource corresponding to the resource selection operation to be played is added to the resource list to be played, the page display prompt message "has been added to the resource list to be played" and the page entry "view the resource list to be played" of the resource list to be played page are found.

Optionally, the resource list to be played may include a plurality of cache resources of the target multimedia resource to be played, or may not include a plurality of cache resources of the target multimedia resource to be played.

It can be understood that, in the present scheme, a user can select a target multimedia resource meeting the viewing requirement of the user from a resource preview page and add the target multimedia resource to a to-be-played resource list, where the to-be-played resource list includes a plurality of target multimedia resources to be viewed.

S303, responding to the playing control operation of the resource list to be played, and playing the corresponding target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6, the resource list to be played page includes a plurality of target multimedia resources to be played. The user can select any target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played for playing.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 7, on the to-be-played resource list page, when the user clicks a target multimedia resource in the to-be-played resource list selected by the user, in response to the user's clicking operation, as shown in (b) of fig. 7, the target multimedia resource selected by the user is played.

Optionally, the to-be-played resource list page may further include a play control. The step S303 includes: and responding to the triggering operation of the playing control in the resource list page to be played, and playing the target multimedia resource. For example, as shown in (c) in fig. 7, when the user clicks the play control in the to-be-played resource list page, in response to the user clicking the play control, as shown in (b) in fig. 7, the target multimedia resource in the to-be-played resource list is played. It can be understood that, in response to the click operation of the user on the play control, the target multimedia resource that is not viewed by the user in the resource list to be played may be played, or the target multimedia resource selected by the user may be played in combination with the selection operation.

Alternatively, as shown in (d) of fig. 7, in the interface for playing the target multimedia resource, the user may slide the switching target multimedia resource left and right, and switch the target multimedia resource in response to the sliding operation of the user. Or automatically playing the next target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played after the current target multimedia resource is played.

For example, when the to-be-played resource list includes a plurality of cache resources of the target multimedia resource to be played, in the step S303, when the corresponding target multimedia resource in the to-be-played resource list is played, the target multimedia resource may be locally played in the terminal device. Through the implementation mode, the terminal equipment can still ensure that the corresponding target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played is played normally under the condition that the network resource is limited (for example, under the condition of no network or poor network connection), and the method is suitable for application scenes with poor network real-time performance.

For example, when the to-be-played resource list does not include the cache resources of the plurality of target multimedia resources to be played, the step S303 may include: responding to the playing control operation of the resource list to be played, and acquiring the identifier of the corresponding target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played; sending a Content Delivery Network (CDN) address request to a server, wherein the CDN address request comprises an identifier of a target multimedia resource; receiving a CDN address sent by a server; and playing the target multimedia resource based on the CDN address. That is, when the target multimedia resource is not cached in the resource list to be played, the target multimedia resource can be played online from the CDN server. In this implementation, the fluency of video playing needs to be ensured to ensure the experience of online viewing of the user, and therefore, the CDN may be a CDN closer to the user.

According to the playing method of the multimedia resource, the page is previewed by displaying the resource; responding to a resource selection operation to be played implemented on a resource preview page, acquiring a target multimedia resource corresponding to the resource selection operation to be played, and adding the target multimedia resource to a resource list to be played, wherein the resource list to be played comprises a plurality of target multimedia resources to be played; and responding to the playing control operation of the resource list to be played, and playing the corresponding target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played. According to the scheme in the embodiment, the user can select the target multimedia resources meeting the watching requirements of the user from the resource preview page and add the target multimedia resources to the to-be-played resource list, and the selected target multimedia resources are watched in a centralized and continuous mode based on the to-be-played resource list, so that the playing operation of the multimedia resources is greatly simplified, a simple and efficient multimedia resource watching mode is provided for the user, and the user experience is improved.

Optionally, an embodiment of the present application further provides a method for playing a multimedia resource, as shown in fig. 8, the method may further include steps S302a-S302b after the step S302.

S302a, the server acquires the resource list to be played.

For example, in the first implementation manner, the step S302a of acquiring, by the server, the to-be-played resource list includes: the server receives the identification of the target multimedia resource from the terminal equipment; and generating a resource list to be played based on the identification of the target multimedia resource. In this implementation, the server may generate a to-be-played resource list based on the identifier of the target multimedia resource sent by the terminal device. Optionally, in this implementation, step S302b may be further included after step S302 a.

For example, in a second implementation manner, the step S302a of acquiring, by the server, the to-be-played resource list includes: the server receives the resource list to be played from the terminal equipment. Optionally, in this implementation, step S302a may further include the terminal device sending the to-be-played resource list to the server. That is, in this implementation manner, the terminal device may itself obtain the target multimedia resource corresponding to the resource selection operation to be played, add the target multimedia resource to the resource list to be played, and send the resource list to be played to the server. Optionally, the target multimedia resources to be played in the resource list to be played sent by the server to the terminal device may be sorted according to a preset sorting type.

(optional) S302b, the server sends the to-be-played resource list to the terminal device.

For example, corresponding to the first implementation manner in step S302a, after the server generates the to-be-played resource list, the server may send the to-be-played resource list to the terminal device. Corresponding to the implementation manner, the resource list to be played sent by the server for the terminal device to receive is added to the resource list to be played in step S302.

In the scheme in this embodiment, the terminal device may add the target multimedia resource corresponding to the resource selection operation to be played to the resource list to be played, and send the resource list to be played to the server. The server can also generate a resource list to be played based on the identifier of the target multimedia resource sent by the terminal device, and send the resource list to be played to the terminal device. Namely, in this embodiment, the server side also stores the resource list to be played.

For example, as shown in fig. 8a, when the to-be-played resource list includes a plurality of cache resources of the target multimedia resource to be played, steps S304 to S309 may be further included after step S302 and before step S303.

S304, the terminal equipment sends a target CDN address request to the server.

The target CDN address request includes an identification of the target multimedia resource. Illustratively, the target CDN address request is for requesting an address of a target CDN whose utilization rate is less than or equal to a preset threshold.

Optionally, the target CDN address request may further include an indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate a server to obtain a CDN address with a lower utilization rate.

It can be understood that, after the terminal device adds the target multimedia resource to the resource list to be played, the terminal device may cache the target multimedia resource offline for the user to watch in a poor network state or a no-network state. Therefore, when the terminal device caches the target multimedia resource, since the playing continuity and the user viewing experience do not need to be guaranteed, the terminal device can request the server to cache the target multimedia resource in the CDN server with a low utilization rate, and the caching cost can be reduced.

S305, the server receives a target CDN address request from the terminal equipment.

S306, the server acquires the target CDN address based on the target CDN address request.

The utilization rate of the target CDN is less than or equal to a preset threshold value.

For example, the server may obtain a target CDN address for storing the target multimedia resource based on an identifier of the target multimedia resource in the target CDN address request.

S307, the server sends the target CDN address to the terminal equipment.

S308, the terminal equipment receives the target CDN address sent by the server.

S309, the terminal device caches the target multimedia resource based on the target CDN address.

For example, the target multimedia resource is cached in the cache memory in step S309. It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the target multimedia resource is cached to the cache, and the target multimedia resource is not permanently stored in the cache. When the data amount stored in the cache is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, the target multimedia resources cached in the cache are cleared according to the preset threshold value. For example, videos with longer buffering time can be cleared preferentially according to the time sequence of buffering. For another example, the video that the user has watched may be preferentially cleared according to whether the user has watched the target multimedia asset. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the manner of cleaning the target multimedia resource cached in the cache, and is only an exemplary description here.

For example, when the terminal device caches the target multimedia resource based on the target CDN address in step S309, the terminal device may cache the target multimedia resource according to the sequence in which the target multimedia resources are added to the resource list to be played. For example, as shown in fig. 9, a plurality of target multimedia assets in the to-be-played asset list may be sequentially cached in the chronological order in which the target multimedia assets are added to the to-be-played asset list. Optionally, when the caching time of a target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played exceeds a preset time length, the target multimedia resource may be skipped or the caching of the target multimedia resource may be suspended, and other target multimedia resources in the resource list to be played may be cached.

Optionally, when the terminal device caches the target multimedia resource based on the target CDN address in step S309, if the current network type of the terminal device is consistent with the network type of the cache resource preset by the user, the target multimedia resources included in the resource list to be played are cached. If the current network type of the terminal equipment is not consistent with the network type of the cache resource set by the user, the terminal equipment displays a prompt message for prompting the user to determine whether to continue caching the multimedia resource under the current network type; and in response to the determination operation of the selection of the user, caching a plurality of target multimedia resources included in the resource list to be played. For example, the user presets that the resources are cached only in the wireless local area network, if the current network type of the terminal equipment is the cellular mobile network, prompt information for prompting the user whether to continue caching the resources in the cellular mobile network is displayed, and when the user selects yes, the target multimedia resources are cached.

In this embodiment, when the target multimedia resource is cached from the target CDN, it is not necessary to ensure the playing continuity of the video and the user viewing experience, and therefore the target CDN may be a CDN server with a low utilization rate. The CDN server may be different from a CDN server used when the user watches the video and caches the video, because the CDN server used when the user watches the video and caches the video needs to ensure the video playing continuity and the user watching experience, the CDN server used when the user watches the video and caches the video is a CDN server closer to the user, and the CDN server has a higher download cost than the target CDN server in this embodiment. The target CDN server in this embodiment may be a relatively idle and inexpensive CDN server, and the user may centrally cache the target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played in the target CDN server without caching the video in real time from the CDN server that is closer in distance, so that the pressure of the CDN server is reduced, and the download cost is lower.

For example, the user may select a plurality of target multimedia assets of interest during the day, and add the target multimedia assets to the to-be-played asset list for caching. And when the user is idle at night, the target multimedia resources cached in the resource list to be played are watched in a centralized and continuous mode. Therefore, the user can watch a plurality of target multimedia resources to be played which are interested in the user without too many operations. And the user does not need to worry about the current network condition when watching the target multimedia resource, and the user can normally play the target multimedia resource cached in the resource list to be played under the condition that the network resource is limited (for example, when the network condition is poor or under the network-free state), thereby improving the user experience.

According to the method for playing the multimedia resources provided by the embodiment of the application, the target multimedia resources corresponding to the selection operation of the resources to be played are added to the resource list to be played, and the target multimedia resources can be cached in the target CDN server with a low utilization rate, so that the requirement on the real-time performance of the network is low when the corresponding target multimedia resources in the resource list to be played are played. The scheme is particularly suitable for scenes that the multimedia resources cannot be watched online in real time when the network speed is unstable, and the target multimedia resources in the resource list to be played can be cached after the target multimedia resources meeting the watching requirements of the resource preview page are selected and added into the resource list to be played, so that the corresponding target multimedia resources in the resource list to be played can still be guaranteed to be played normally under the condition that the network resources are limited (for example, under the condition of no network or poor network connection).

It can be understood that, according to the scheme, when the target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played is cached, since the playing continuity of the video and the user viewing experience do not need to be ensured, the target multimedia resource can be cached from the CDN server with a low utilization rate, so that the video caching cost can be reduced, and the downlink pressure of the CDN server can be relieved.

For example, an embodiment of the present application further provides a method for playing a multimedia resource, as shown in fig. 10, steps S310 to S311 may be further included before step S303.

S310, displaying the resource playing page.

The multimedia asset is being played in the asset play page.

S311, responding to the adding operation implemented on the resource playing page, acquiring the target multimedia resource played by the resource playing interface, and adding the target multimedia resource into the resource list to be played.

The resource list to be played comprises a plurality of target multimedia resources.

For example, in the resource playing page, the user may add the currently played multimedia resource to the to-be-played resource list.

For example, as shown in fig. 11 (a), on the resource playing page, when the user clicks the sharing control, in response to the user clicking the sharing control, an operation box shown in fig. 11 (b) is displayed, where the later-view control is included in the operation box. As shown in (c) in fig. 11, when the user clicks the later viewing control in the operation box, in response to the click operation of the later viewing control by the user, the target multimedia resource played by the resource playing interface is acquired, and the target multimedia resource is added to the to-be-played resource list.

Alternatively, as shown in (d) in fig. 11, after the target multimedia resource played by the resource playing page is added to the to-be-played resource list, a prompt message may be displayed in the resource playing page to prompt the user that the target multimedia resource has been added to "view later", and a to-be-played resource list entry "view later list" may be displayed.

It can be understood that the above steps S310-S311 and steps S301-S302 are two application scenarios when the target multimedia asset is added to the list of assets to be played. As can be seen from fig. 4 and fig. 11, the currently played target multimedia resource can be added to the to-be-played resource list on the playing page of the target multimedia resource by using the adding method in fig. 11, and if the user wants to add another target multimedia resource, the user needs to quit the currently played target multimedia resource and enter the playing interface of the next target multimedia resource, and add the playing interface of the next target multimedia resource to the to-be-played resource list. By adopting the adding mode shown in fig. 4, the user can select the multimedia resource that the user is interested in on the resource preview page and add the multimedia resource to the resource list to be played. Therefore, the user operation is less in the addition method of fig. 4 than in the addition method of fig. 11.

It can be understood that, in the playing method of the multimedia resource provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the target multimedia resource is added to the resource list to be played, the adding manner shown in fig. 4 may be adopted, the adding manner shown in fig. 11 may also be adopted, and the adding manners shown in fig. 4 and fig. 11 may also be combined to implement adding the target multimedia resource to the resource list to be played.

According to the multimedia resource playing method provided by the embodiment of the application, a resource playing page is displayed; responding to the adding operation implemented on the resource playing page, acquiring a target multimedia resource played by a resource playing interface, and adding the target multimedia resource into a resource list to be played, wherein the resource list to be played comprises a plurality of target multimedia resources to be played; and responding to the playing control operation of the resource list to be played, and playing the corresponding target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played. According to the scheme, the user can select the target multimedia resources meeting the watching requirements of the user from the resource playing page and add the target multimedia resources to the to-be-played resource list, and the selected target multimedia resources are watched in a centralized and continuous mode based on the to-be-played resource list, so that the playing operation of the multimedia resources is greatly simplified, a simple and efficient multimedia resource watching mode is provided for the user, and the user experience is improved.

Illustratively, as shown in (d) of fig. 11, after the target multimedia asset is added to the to-be-played asset list, the page entry "view to-be-played asset list" of the to-be-played asset list page is displayed on the asset play page.

Illustratively, as shown in (a) of fig. 13, a page entry "to-be-played resource list" including a to-be-played resource list page in the setting page.

Illustratively, when a user clicks a resource preview page or a resource play page or sets a page entry of a to-be-played resource list page in a page, the to-be-played resource list page shown in (b) of fig. 13 is displayed in response to a click operation of the user. The to-be-played resource list page includes a plurality of target multimedia resources.

(optional) S313, in response to the selection operation and the deletion operation performed on the resource list page to be played, deleting the corresponding target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played.

For example, the user may select a target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played and perform a deletion operation, and in response to the selection operation and the deletion operation of the user, the terminal device may delete the target multimedia resource selected by the user in the resource list to be played. Optionally, if the resource list to be played includes the cache resource of the multimedia resource selected by the user, the cache resource of the corresponding target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played may also be deleted when the corresponding target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played is deleted in step S313.

Optionally, the resource list page to be played may further include an addition control, and the user may add another target multimedia resource by triggering the addition control. For example, when the user clicks the add control, in response to the user clicking the add control, the user may add other videos in which the user is interested to the to-be-played resource list.

Optionally, if the server stores the resource list to be played, after the terminal device deletes the corresponding target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played, the server may send indication information to the server, where the indication information is used to indicate the server to delete the corresponding target multimedia resource, so as to ensure consistency between the terminal device and the resource list to be played stored by the server.

(optional) S314, in response to the sorting selection operation implemented on the resource list page to be played, sorting and displaying the target multimedia resources in the resource list to be played according to the sorting type corresponding to the sorting selection operation.

For example, the above sort types may include: one or more of morning to evening by date of addition, evening to morning by date of addition, morning to evening by time of release, and evening to morning by time of release. Optionally, the sort type may also include a sort by author, and the like, which is not limited in this application.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 14 (a), a sort control is included in the to-be-played resource list page, and when the user clicks the sort control in the to-be-played resource list page, in response to a trigger operation of the user, as shown in fig. 14 (b), an operation box is displayed, where the operation box includes a plurality of sort types, for example, from early to late according to an addition date and from late to early according to the addition date. Optionally, controls for removing the viewed video, fully selecting, canceling, etc. may also be included in the operation box. And when the user selects to sort from morning to evening according to the adding date, responding to the selection operation of the user, and sequentially sorting and displaying the target multimedia resources in the resource list to be played from morning to evening according to the adding date.

The method for playing the multimedia resource provided by the embodiment of the application can enter the resource list page to be played from the resource list entrance to be played; in response to the selection operation and the deletion operation implemented on the resource list page to be played, deleting the corresponding target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played; and in response to the sequencing selection operation implemented on the resource list page to be played, sequencing and displaying the target multimedia resources in the resource list to be played according to the sequencing type corresponding to the sequencing selection operation. The scheme enables the user to intensively and continuously watch the target multimedia resources selected by the user in the resource list to be played, and can also perform selective deletion operation and sequencing operation on the target multimedia resources in the resource list to be played, so that the experience of the user in watching the target multimedia resources is improved.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 15, for another method for playing a multimedia resource provided by the embodiment of the present application, the method may include S1501 to S1503.

S1501, the terminal equipment acquires the multimedia resources which are released by the user account of the target multimedia resource and the release time of which is later than that of the target multimedia resource.

For example, in step S1501, a multimedia resource whose release time is later than that of a target multimedia resource among multimedia resources released by a user account of the target multimedia resource in a resource list to be played may be obtained by the terminal device itself. The user account of the target multimedia resource may include one or more of a user name, an ID, and an Internet Protocol Address (IP) of a publisher of the target multimedia resource.

For example, in step S1501, the user account of the target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played and the publishing time of the target multimedia resource may also be obtained through interaction between the terminal device and the server. For example, the server acquires multimedia resources, which are issued by a user account of a target multimedia resource and whose issuing time is later than that of the target multimedia resource, at intervals of preset time; the server sends the multimedia resource with the release time later than that of the target multimedia resource to the terminal equipment; the step S1501 includes that the terminal device receives, from the server, a multimedia resource that is released by the user account of the target multimedia resource and whose release time is later than that of the target multimedia resource.

Optionally, if the server side stores the to-be-played resource list, after acquiring, by the server, a multimedia resource whose release time is later than the release time of the target multimedia resource from the multimedia resources released by the user account of the target multimedia resource, the server may add the multimedia resource whose release time is later than the release time of the target multimedia resource to the to-be-played resource list stored by the server side. That is, the server side may update the to-be-played resource list to expand the viewing range of the user in the to-be-played resource list. Optionally, after the server adds the multimedia resource whose release time is later than the release time of the target multimedia resource to the to-be-played resource list stored at the server side, the server may send the to-be-played resource list to the terminal.

In the embodiment of the application, the specific implementation manner of the multimedia resource of which the release time is later than that of the target multimedia resource in the multimedia resource released by the user account of the target multimedia resource acquired by the terminal device is not limited.

For example, in step S1501, the terminal device may obtain all multimedia resources issued by the user account of the target multimedia resource at preset time intervals, and determine a multimedia resource whose issue time is later than the issue time of the target multimedia resource in all multimedia resources issued by the user account of the target multimedia resource.

For example, when the to-be-played resource list includes a plurality of target multimedia resources issued by one user account, the issuing time may be a time closest to a target multimedia resource issued at the current time, or may be a time of a target multimedia resource issued at the earliest time, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

S1502, adding the multimedia resource with the release time later than that of the target multimedia resource into the resource list to be played.

For example, the terminal device may add a multimedia resource whose publication time is later than that of the target multimedia resource in all videos published by the user account of the target multimedia resource to the to-be-played resource list.

Optionally, the multimedia resource whose release time is earlier than the release time of the target multimedia resource in all the multimedia resources released by the user account of the target multimedia resource may not be processed.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the terminal device may automatically add the latest multimedia resource issued by the user account of the target multimedia resource to the resource list to be played, so as to expand the range of the target multimedia resource in the resource list to be played, and facilitate the subsequent viewing by the user.

S1503, deleting the target multimedia resource of which the time length added to the resource list to be played is greater than or equal to a second preset time length in the resource list to be played.

For example, the time length added to the to-be-played resource list may be a time length between the time when the target multimedia resource is added to the to-be-played resource list and the current time. Optionally, the time length of the target multimedia resource added to the resource list to be played may also be the time length between the time when the target multimedia resource is cached and the current time.

For example, it may be determined whether the time when the target multimedia asset is added to the to-be-played resource list exceeds a second preset time from the current time by checking the time when the target multimedia asset is added to the to-be-played resource list, and if so, the target multimedia asset is removed from the to-be-played resource list. Optionally, the cache of the target multimedia resource may also be deleted.

Illustratively, the second preset time period is 30 days. And in the case that the target multimedia resource is added to the resource list to be played for more than or equal to 30 days, deleting the target multimedia resource from the resource list to be played. If the resource list to be played includes the cache of the target multimedia resource, the cache of the target multimedia resource can be deleted. The cache can be ensured to cache more target multimedia resources by automatically cleaning the cache.

Optionally, if the server side stores the resource list to be played, the server may also delete the target multimedia resource, which is added to the resource list to be played and has a duration greater than or equal to a second preset duration, from the resource list to be played. Namely, the server and the terminal device can synchronously maintain the resource list to be played, so as to keep consistency between the resource list to be played stored in the server and the resource list to be played stored in the terminal device.

According to the scheme of the embodiment of the application, the latest multimedia resource issued by the user account of the target multimedia resource is acquired, the latest issued multimedia resource is added to the resource list to be played, the range of the resource list to be played can be updated and expanded, so that the user can conveniently watch the latest multimedia resource, and the size of the cache is ensured by automatically cleaning the target multimedia resource which is added to the resource list to be played and lasts too long.
