Abstract

Embodiments provide a method for streaming media and a media controller. The method includes: receiving, by a media controller, a media streaming request sent by a user equipment, and allocating an index to the user equipment, wherein the index is used to indicate an address of a corresponding buffer in the media controller to which data to be streamed is stored; binding the streaming request and the index of the user equipment and storing in a table, and sending the them to a media server so that the media server controls, according to the table, a storage device to send the data to be streamed to an address of a buffer corresponding to the index; and receiving then streaming the data to be streamed that is requested by the streaming request to the corresponding user equipment by querying the table.
