Abstract

A Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)-based buffer status updating method, device and a buffer status processor are provided, where the method includes, receiving an HTTP request from a terminal, triggering a buffer event according to the HTTP request, where the buffer event includes seek, pause, resume, and stream switch, and the method further includes updating a buffer status according to the buffer event, where the buffer status includes a normal play state, a play paused state, a re-buffering state, and a stream switch state. Hence, the buffer status is updated based on the buffer event in a manner of analyzing only an HTTP Protocol field such that a buffer model is closer to a real client buffer situation.
