,

filling the buddy'"'"'s nickname, and/or, the buddy'"'"'s comments into the text display floating layer.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the video-file editing information comprises at least one of:

a buddy'"'"'s head portrait, a buddy'"'"'s nickname or a buddy'"'"'s comments;

wherein editing the video file with the video-file editing information comprises;

generating a relation-chain-information display floating layer around a video-file playing area; and

,

displaying the video-file editing information on the relation-chain-information display floating layer.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein obtaining the relation chain information of the video file comprises:

calling an application programming interface (API) interface, so as to obtain the relation chain information of a source user of the video file, and/or, obtain the relation chain information of an activity initiated by the source user of the video file.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

displaying a floating layer component around the video-file playing area, wherein the floating layer component comprises at least one of;

the identity (ID) of the video file, a two-dimension code, promotion information, link information to a microblog activity page, or a control of a relation chain;

wherein the control of the relation chain comprises at least one of;

a trigger control indicating to forward to a buddy, a control receiving a buddy'"'"'s comments, a control prompting a buddy to pay attention, or a control displaying forwarding number.

7. A device for playing a video file, which at least comprises a processor, a memory and a non-transitory memory, wherein

the non-transitory memory is configured to store a computer program used for playing the video file;

the memory is configured to load the computer program from the non-transitory memory to be run, so as to form computer executable instructions, wherein the computer executable instructions are stored in an information obtaining unit, a video editing unit and a video playing unit,

the information obtaining unit is configured to obtain the video file, and relation chain information of the video file;

the video editing unit is configured to generate video-file editing information with the relation chain information, edit the video file with the video-file editing information; and

,

the video playing unit is configured to play the edited video file.

8. The device according to claim 7, wherein the video-file editing information comprises a buddy'"'"'s head portrait, and

the video editing unit is further configured to obtain a head-portrait display area location in the video file, generate a head-portrait cover floating layer in the head-portrait display area location, and fill the buddy'"'"'s head portrait into the head-portrait cover floating layer, so as to cover a head portrait in the video file.

9. The device according to claim 7, wherein the video-file editing information comprises a buddy'"'"'s nickname, and/or, a buddy'"'"'s comments, and,

the video editing unit is further configured to determine a text display area in the video file, generate a text display floating layer in the text display area, fill the buddy'"'"'s nickname, and/or, the buddy'"'"'s comments into the text display floating layer.

10. The device according to claim 7, wherein the video-file editing information comprises at least one of:

a buddy'"'"'s head portrait, a buddy'"'"'s nickname or a buddy'"'"'s comments, and the video editing unit is further configured to generate a relation-chain-information display floating layer around a video-file playing area, display the video-file editing information in the relation-chain-information display floating layer.

11. The device according to claim 7, wherein the information obtaining unit is further configured to call an application programming interface (API) interface, so as to obtain the relation chain information of a source user of the video file, and/or, the relation chain information of an activity initiated by the source user of the video file.
