Method, client, and terminal device for screen recording

A terminal device for screen recording, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor;
• wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• obtain an audio play parameter of each audio play unit of a plurality of audio play units in a player when the player is initialized;
• receive a screen recording instruction;
• for each respective audio play unit of the plurality of audio play units of the player, collect respective audio data of the respective audio play unit based on the audio play parameter of the respective audio play unit and periodically encode the respective audio data based on a preset audio unified encoding parameter to obtain respective encoded audio data in response to the screen recording instruction;
• superpose encoded audio data of the plurality of audio play units to obtain merged audio data;
• and
• merge video data of the player with the merged audio data to obtain screen recording data;
• wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
• determine an on-going screen recording state, and perform a corresponding processing based on the screen recording state, wherein the screen recording state at least includes a waiting timeout state;
• wherein after an operation of audio collecting and encoding performed on all audio data of any one of the plurality of audio play units is completed, the operation of audio collecting and encoding enters a waiting state;
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to determine the on-going screen recording state by:
• starting timing when the operation of audio collecting and encoding enters a waiting state;
• and
• determining that the screen recording state is the waiting timeout state if no operation of audio collecting and encoding performed on any other audio play unit enters the waiting state within a preset waiting time range.
