Frame dropping method, server and medium

A server, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a memory, configured to store at least one program;
• the at least one program, when executed by at least one processor, causes at least one processor to implement operations, which the operations comprise:
• obtaining a current video frame queue currently to be sent;
• determining a timeout video frame in the current video frame queue;
• determining a total number of frames currently to be dropped corresponding to the current video frame queue based on a number of the timeout video frame and a number of frames that should be dropped in a previous video frame queue, but have not yet been dropped;
• detecting a droppable video frame in the current video frame queue based on a result of detecting whether there is at least one key frame in the current video frame queue and whether a last key frame in the current video frame queue is a first-in-queue frame;
• identifying a target droppable video frame from the droppable video frame based on the total number of frames currently to be dropped and a drop priority corresponding to the droppable video frame, wherein the drop priority is determined based on decoding reference information corresponding to the droppable video frame;
• and
• performing frame dropping processing on the target droppable video frame.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program which, when executed by a processor, implements a frame dropping method wherein the method comprises:

• obtaining a current video frame queue currently to be sent;
• determining a timeout video frame in the current video frame queue;
• determining a total number of frames currently to be dropped corresponding to the current video frame queue based on a number of the timeout video frame and a number of frames that should be dropped in a previous video frame queue, but have not yet been dropped;
• detecting a droppable video frame in the current video frame queue based on a result of detecting whether there is at least one key frame in the current video frame queue and whether a last key frame in the current video frame queue is a first-in-queue frame;
• identifying a target droppable video frame from the droppable video frame based on the total number of frames currently to be dropped and a drop priority corresponding to the droppable video frame, wherein the drop priority is determined based on decoding reference information corresponding to the droppable video frame;
• and
• performing frame dropping processing on the target droppable video frame.
