Systems and methods for providing content during reduced streaming quality

A system for providing a content item comprising video frames and audio, the system comprising;

• input circuitry configured to:
• receive the content item, using a data stream, for display;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• determine that quality of streaming the video frames has reduced such that a synchronization between the video frames and the audio cannot be maintained;
• determine a previously stored video frame of the video frames of a scene is similar to a currently streamed video frame of the scene, wherein the similar previously stored video frame and the currently streamed video frame indicates continuity of the scene;
• and
• replace, based on the determining the previously stored video frame of the video frames of the scene is similar to the currently streamed video frame of the scene, the currently streamed video frame of the video frames with the previously stored video frame while continuing to provide the audio.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that when executed by control circuitry performs the method comprising:

• receiving the content item, using a data stream, for display;
• determining that quality of streaming the video frames has reduced such that a synchronization between the video frames and the audio cannot be maintained;
• determining a previously stored video frame of the video frames of a scene is similar to a currently streamed video frame of the scene, wherein the similar previously stored video frame and the currently streamed video frame indicates continuity of the scene;
• and
• replacing, based on the determining the previously stored video frame of the video frames of the scene is similar to the currently streamed video frame of the scene, the currently streamed video frame of the video frames with the previously stored video frame while continuing to provide the audio.
