Method and device for playing video

An electronic device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory communicably connected with the at least one processor for storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, wherein execution of the instructions by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:
• parse a file to be played to obtain one video stream and at least two audio streams and save the obtained video and audio streams into a buffer;
• select a certain audio stream as a first audio stream, and obtain the video stream and the first audio stream from the buffer for decoding and playing, and stop decoding the first audio stream, and obtain the video stream and a second audio stream from the buffer for decoding and playing;
• receive an audio switching instruction, and determine one other channel of audio as the second audio stream according to the audio switching instruction.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing executable instructions that, when executed by an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:

• parse is file to be played to obtain one video stream and at least two audio streams by a player and saving the video and audio streams into a buffer;
• select a certain audio stream as a first audio stream, and obtaining the video stream and the first audio stream from the buffer for decoding and playing;
• receive an audio switching instruction and determining one other channel of audio as a second audio stream according to the audio switching instruction:
• stop decoding the first audio stream, and obtain the video stream and the second audio stream from the buffer for decoding and playing.
