Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a live streaming quick start method and system, which belong to streaming media technology. The method comprises: slicing, by a server, an audio-video stream into slice files, and assigning a sequence number to each generated slice file according to timestamps of the audio-video stream; recording, by the server, key frame information of the audio-video stream; determining, by the server, an initial slice file sequence number in response to a live streaming request sent by a player client; based on the initial slice file sequence number and the recorded audio-video stream key frame information, transmitting, by the server, a start-streaming response file and the initial slice file sequence number to the player client; and resetting, by the player client, timestamps for the start-streaming response file based on a key frame closest to the initial slice file, and decoding and playing the start-streaming response file.
