  • Publication number: 20220078519
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method, device and computer-readable storage medium of intelligently buffering a Web video based on a browser, and belongs to a field of the Internet technology. The method, device and computer-readable storage medium of intelligently buffering a Web video based on a browser comprises a browser calculating an available buffer duration based on an available memory size of a buffer and a bit rate; initializing a player based on the available buffer duration; buffering and playing the video to be played using the player. So, the buffer duration can be set flexibly based on different browser platforms and an average bit rate of the video, which can maximize the use of a cache space, and effectively avoid the occurrence of sticking during video playback, and make better use of the bandwidth, so as to greatly improve the user experience.
