Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus, a computer device and a storage medium for media code rate self-adaptation. The method includes the following steps: acquiring network quality information of a user network; acquiring, based on a pre-set code rate correspondence list, code rate information corresponding to the network quality information; and determining a code rate indicated by the code rate information as a code rate parameter of a target object.

Abstract: Particular embodiments provide dynamic seek processing that minimizes re-buffering after a seek request is received. When a seek occurs to a seeking position, a media player downloads a segment N of the media program that includes the seeking position. To address possible re-buffering, the media player employs a seeking process that may analyze playback factors to determine when to start playback after the segment N that contains the seeking position has been downloaded. Factors include the position within the segment N, the current bandwidth, the next segment's size, and the current bitrate being requested. Depending on these factors, the media player may decide to delay playback even though the segment N has already been downloaded. This allows the next segment N+1 more time to download and then playback can begin with less chance of re-buffering. Particular embodiments also provide a process to calculate the number of seconds to delay playback.
