1. A method for sharing media content, comprising:

  • obtaining, by a first terminal device, M network addresses and M pieces of break point information from N second terminal devices when detecting that the N second terminal devices currently play M pieces of media content online, wherein the M network addresses correspond one to one to the M pieces of media content, wherein the M pieces of break point information indicate time positions in the M pieces of media content at which a respective N second terminal currently plays the M pieces of media content at a time point when the N second terminal devices are detected by the first terminal device, wherein M is greater than N, and wherein N and M are positive integers;

    obtaining, from a content server and based on the M network addresses and the M pieces of break point information, portions of the M pieces of media content starting at the time positions indicated by the break point information and running through end positions of the media content;

    editing the M pieces of media content obtained from the content server to obtain first media content by;

    typesetting a part or all of content fragments comprised in the M pieces of media content obtained from the content server; and

    inserting second media content into the content fragments to obtain the first media content;

    generating editing information according to an editing manner used when the first media content is obtained;

    sending the editing information and capability information of the first terminal device to the content server, wherein the capability information comprises a resolution or bit rate capability of the first terminal device;

    sending, by the first terminal device, the inserted second media content to the content server to enable the content server to synthesize the first media content according to each of the editing information, the M pieces of media content, and the second media content,receiving a second network address from the content server, wherein the second network address is a network address that corresponds to a first media content playlist received from the content server, wherein the first media content playlist is a media content playlist that corresponds to the first media content, and wherein the media content playlist corresponds to the capability information of the first terminal device; and

    publishing the second network address on a social networking server, wherein the second network address enables users logging on to the social networking server to watch the first media content playlist that comprises the first media content.
