Video streaming control based on network conditions

An apparatus for controlling video stream transmissions, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
• obtain attribute data and network environment data of a process in which a video streaming server is downloading or downloaded a video stream, the attribute data representing a download status of the video stream during the process;
• predict, based on the attribute data and the network environment data, a network status in which the video streaming server downloads the video stream within a preset time period, to obtain a prediction result, the preset time period corresponding to a future time period, the predicting comprising:
• performing, by the computing device, structured processing on the attribute data and the network environment data to obtain structured data;
• and
• predicting, based on the structured data, the network status in which the video streaming server downloads the video stream within the preset time period, to obtain the prediction result;
• and
• transmit the prediction result to a streaming strategy adjuster, the prediction result being configured for instructing the streaming strategy adjuster to determine a streaming strategy for the video streaming server to transmit or receive streaming video over a network.
