The method includes: receiving prompt information for playing a second video associated with a first video sent by an application server, the first video is a video being currently played, and the first video and the second video include a same video content segment; and showing the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video. Disclosed are also a terminal device, a server, and a storage medium.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A video playing processing method, comprising:
receiving prompt information for playing a second video associated with a first video sent by an application server, wherein the first video is a video being currently played, and the first video and the second video comprise a same video content segment, and at least one of the first video or the second video contain a video segment different from the same video content segment;
showing the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video; and
playing video content of the second video;
wherein playing the video content of the second video comprises:
playing video content of the second video that matches a playing progress of the first video based on the playing progress of the first video and positioning information of the same video content segment in the first video and positioning information of the same video content segment in the second video, wherein the positioning information is used to represent start time or a position of the same video content segment in the first video and the second video.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video sent by the application server comprises one of:
in a case of starting to receive video content of the first video sent by the application server, receiving the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video sent by the application server; or
at a specific time point after receiving video content of the first video sent by the application server, receiving the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video sent by the application server.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein showing the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video comprises one of:
displaying the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video on a playing page of the first video; or
popping up a prompt bar during playing the first video, wherein the prompt bar comprises the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a trigger operation based on the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video;
sending a first playing request based on the trigger operation to the application server, wherein the first playing request comprises identification information of the second video; and
receiving playing information of the second video sent by the application server.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein
in a case where the playing information of the second video comprises video content of the second video, the method further comprises:
playing the video content of the second video; or
in a case where the playing information of the second video comprises a playing link to the second video, the method further comprises:
after receiving a trigger operation on the playing link, jumping to a playing page of the second video, and playing the video content of the second video in the playing page.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein playing the video content of the second video comprises:
playing entire video content starting from a start time of the second video,
wherein the second video comprises entire video content segments of the first video or part of video content segments of the first video.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein playing the video content of the second video comprises playing video content that matches a playing progress of the first video.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the video content that matches the playing progress of the first video comprises video content for continued playing obtained based on the playing progress of the first video, and at least one of positioning information of the same video content segment in the first video or positioning information of the same video content segment in the second video.

9. The method of claim 2 , wherein at a specific time point after receiving video content of the first video sent by the application server, receiving the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video sent by the application server comprises at least one of:
in a case of pausing the video content of the first video, receiving the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video sent by the application server;
in a case of playing advertisements, receiving the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video sent by the application server; or
in a case of a preset time remaining until an end of playing the video content of the first video, receiving the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video sent by the application server.

10. A video playing processing method, comprising:
sending a video query request message, wherein the video query request message comprises identification information of a first video;
receiving a returned video query response message, wherein the video query response message comprises identification information of a second video, and the first video and the second video comprise a same video content segment, and at least one of the first video or the second video contain a video segment different from the same video content segment;
sending prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video to a terminal device, wherein the first video is a video being currently played by the terminal device; and
sending video content of the second video to the terminal device;
wherein sending the video content of the second video to the terminal device comprises:
sending the video content of the second video that matches a playing progress of the first video to the terminal device, wherein the video content that matches the playing progress of the first video is obtained based on the playing progress of the first video, and positioning information of the same video content segment in the first video and positioning information of the same video content segment in the second video, the positioning information is used to represent start time or a position of the same video content segment in the first video and the second video.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein sending prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video to the terminal device comprises one of:
in a case of starting to send video content of the first video to the terminal device, sending the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video to the terminal device; or
at a specific time point after sending video content of the first video to the terminal device, sending the prompt information for playing the second video associated with the first video to the terminal device.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
receiving a first playing request sent by the terminal device, wherein the first playing request comprises identification information of the second video; and
obtaining playing information of the second video, and sending the playing information of the second video to the terminal device.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein
in a case where the playing information of the second video comprises video content of the second video, obtaining the playing information of the second video and sending the playing information of the second video to the terminal device comprises:
