Abstract

Provided are method and device for playing a video by a video playing application program. The method includes: monitoring a current page, the current page being a webpage displayed in a webpage control of the video play application program; acquiring a video source address if the current page is set with the video source address; and according to the video source address, acquiring a video source, and invoking a player designated by the video playing application program for playing.

Claims

1. A method for playing a video by a video playing application program, comprising:

monitoring a current page, wherein the current page is a webpage displayed in a webpage control of the video playing application program;

acquiring a video source address if the current page is set with the video source address; and

acquiring a video source according to the video source address, and invoking a player designated by the video playing application program.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein

monitoring a current page comprises monitoring a video tag of the current page;

it is determined that the current page is set with the video source address, if the video tag is set with the video source address; and

acquiring a video source address comprises acquiring the video source address corresponding to the video source with a state defined in the video tag as Play.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the video tag of the current page is monitored if the webpage displayed in the webpage control is updated.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the video source address corresponding to the video source with a state defined in the video tag as Play is acquired according to a DOM structure of the current page.

5. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

creating a timer;

wherein

the video tag of the current page is monitored when the timer is executed.

6. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

modifying the state defined in the video tag from Play to Pause if it is determined that the video tag is set with the video source address.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein invoking a player designated by the video playing application program comprises:

providing a playing interface for the current page through an expansion interface of a browser control; and

invoking the player designated by the video playing application program through the playing interface.

15. A storage medium, configured to store an application program, wherein the application program is configured to execute the method according to claim 1.

17. The method according to claim 2, wherein invoking a player designated by the video playing application program comprises:

providing a playing interface for the current page through an expansion interface of a browser control; and

invoking the player designated by the video playing application program through the playing interface.

18. The method according to claim 3, wherein invoking a player designated by the video playing application program comprises:

providing a playing interface for the current page through an expansion interface of a browser control; and

invoking the player designated by the video playing application program through the playing interface.

19. The method according to claim 4, wherein invoking a player designated by the video playing application program comprises:

providing a playing interface for the current page through an expansion interface of a browser control; and

invoking the player designated by the video playing application program through the playing interface.

20. The method according to claim 5, wherein invoking a player designated by the video playing application program comprises:

providing a playing interface for the current page through an expansion interface of a browser control; and

invoking the player designated by the video playing application program through the playing interface.

21. The method according to claim 6, wherein invoking a player designated by the video playing application program comprises:

providing a playing interface for the current page through an expansion interface of a browser control; and

invoking the player designated by the video playing application program through the playing interface.

8. A device for playing a video by a video playing application program, comprising:

non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor implement;

a monitoring module, configured to monitor a current page, wherein the current page is a webpage displayed in a webpage control of a video playing application program;

an acquiring module, configured to acquire a video source address if the current page is set with the video source address; and

a playing module, configured to acquire a video source according to the video source address, and to invoke a player designated by the video playing application program.

9. The device according to claim 8, wherein

the monitoring module is further configured to monitor a video tag of the current page;

the acquiring module is further configured to determine that the current page is set with the video source address if the video tag is set with the video source address; and

to acquire the video source address corresponding to the video source with a state defined in the video tag as Play, when acquiring the video source address.

10. The device according to claim 9, wherein the monitoring module is further configured to monitor the video tag of the current page if the webpage displayed in a webpage control is updated.

11. The device according to claim 9, wherein the acquiring module is further configured to acquire the video source address corresponding to the video source with a state defined in the video tag as Play according to a DOM structure of the current page.

12. The device according to claim 9, further comprising:

a timer;

wherein

the monitoring module is further configured to monitor the video tag of the current page when the timer is executed.

13. The device according to claim 9, further comprising:

a pausing module, configured to modify the state defined in the video tag from Play to Pause if it is determined that the video tag is set with the video source address.

14. The device according to claim 8, wherein the playing module is further configured to provide a playing interface for the current page through an expansion interface of a browser control and to invoke the player designated by the video playing application program through the playing interface.
