A communication terminal, includes: a communicator, configured to transmit and receive data to and from a server storing video contents; an accumulator, configured to accumulate a plurality of partial streams extracted from different time positions within the video contents received through the communicator as asynchronous streams; a decoder, configured to decode at least one of the asynchronous streams and synchronous streams that are not extracted as the asynchronous streams from the video contents, the synchronous streams being streaming-distributed from the server; and a controller, configured to acquire streams having time position information before and after a reproduction time position of the at least one of the asynchronous streams and the synchronous streams decoded by the decoder while the at least one of the asynchronous streams and the synchronous streams are reproduced on the display, and control the display to display the acquired streams after the reproduction.

Communication terminal, content reproduction method, content reproduction program, and content reproduction system for distributing and reproducing video contents with reduced stress
