METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING STREAM MEDIA

摘要

A method and device for transmitting stream media is provided in the present invention. The method comprises: generating at least one index segment which includes index information of at least one media segment, the at least one index segment is independent of the at least one media segment; generating a storage location information corresponding to the at least one index segment according to the generation rules of the storage location information corresponding to the at least one index segment; storing the at least one index segment at the storage location corresponding to the storage location information so that a client can obtain the at least one index segment from the storage location. The embodiments of the present invention provides the index information of the media segments by the index segments be independent of the media segments to enable the client to obtain the index segment according to the requirement, thereby reduces the unnecessary data transmission and saves bandwidth.
