Patent ID: 8387107

Claim:
A media stream processing method, comprising: receiving, by a first media receiving device, media streams, wherein the media streams comprise a first media stream and a second media stream; obtaining, by the first media receiving device, quick processing indication information, wherein the quick processing indication information is a media play delay, and the media play delay is a frame difference or time difference between the following two time points: a time point of sending an intraframe-coded frame in a current Group of Pictures (GOP) to the first media receiving device, and a time point of sending intraframe-coded frame in the current GOP in multicast media streams, or the media play delay is a sum of the difference and an inherent play delay; calculating, by the first media receiving device, at least one of a frame skip frequency for playing the media stream in a frame skip mode, a fast forward speed for playing the media stream in a fast forward mode, and duration of decoding the media stream quickly according to the media play delay; processing, by the first media receiving device, the first media stream quickly according to the calculated result; and playing the second media stream normally so that media play progress of the first media receiving device is synchronous with media play progress of a second media receiving device, wherein the second media receiving device is configured to receive multicast media streams, and the first media receiving device and the second media receiving device are in the same multicast group.
