Method and apparatus for sending video data, and electronic device

An electronic device, comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a program or instructions executable on the processor, wherein the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform:

• encoding a video stream by using a first encoder in a server, to generate first encoded data, and sending the first encoded data to at least one first user equipment;
• in a case that the server receives a first video display request corresponding to the first encoded data and sent by a second user equipment, encoding the video stream by using a second encoder, to generate second encoded data, and sending the second encoded data to the second user equipment;
• and
• in a case that the first encoded data satisfies a preset condition, sending the first encoded data to the second user equipment, continuing to send the first encoded data to the at least one first user equipment, and stopping sending the second encoded data to the second user equipment;
• wherein when encoding the video stream by using a second encoder, to generate second encoded data, the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform:
• generating the second encoded data that comprises second I-frame data and that is of preset duration;
• and
• the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to further perform:
• caching the second encoded data of the preset duration;
• and
• in a case that the server receives a second video display request corresponding to the first encoded data and sent by a third user equipment, if duration between a time point at which the second video display request is received and a time point at which the second I-frame data is generated is shorter than the preset duration, sending the cached second encoded data to the third user equipment;
• wherein after sending the cached second encoded data to the third user equipment, the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to further perform:
• in a case that duration after the second I-frame data is generated satisfies the preset duration, generating I-frame data next to the second I-frame data by using the second encoder;
• and
• in a case that the I-frame data next to the second I-frame data is generated, sending the second encoded data to the third user equipment, and stopping sending the cached second encoded data to the third user equipment.

A non-transitory readable storage medium, wherein the readable storage medium stores a program or instructions, wherein the program or instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

• encoding a video stream by using a first encoder in a server, to generate first encoded data, and sending the first encoded data to at least one first user equipment;
• in a case that the server receives a first video display request corresponding to the first encoded data and sent by a second user equipment, encoding the video stream by using a second encoder, to generate second encoded data, and sending the second encoded data to the second user equipment;
• and
• in a case that the first encoded data satisfies a preset condition, sending the first encoded data to the second user equipment, continuing to send the first encoded data to the at least one first user equipment, and stopping sending the second encoded data to the second user equipment;
• wherein when encoding the video stream by using a second encoder, to generate second encoded data, the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform:
• generating the second encoded data that comprises second I-frame data and that is of preset duration;
• and
• the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to further perform:
• caching the second encoded data of the preset duration;
• and
• in a case that the server receives a second video display request corresponding to the first encoded data and sent by a third user equipment, if duration between a time point at which the second video display request is received and a time point at which the second I-frame data is generated is shorter than the preset duration, sending the cached second encoded data to the third user equipment;
• wherein after sending the cached second encoded data to the third user equipment, the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to further perform:
• in a case that duration after the second I-frame data is generated satisfies the preset duration, generating I-frame data next to the second I-frame data by using the second encoder;
• and
• in a case that the I-frame data next to the second I-frame data is generated, sending the second encoded data to the third user equipment, and stopping sending the cached second encoded data to the third user equipment.
