The first screenview can be sent in the form of a page formatting template, and results data. The formatting information can be reused for other results, to reduce formatting overhead in the downloads. The instructions can also be used for showing information while waiting for downloads, or downloading information during entry of search queries.

In general, this disclosure describes techniques of determining a backset for client devices attempting to download data of a live transmission. A backset is an amount of temporal delay that the client devices are delayed by when viewing the live transmission. As described herein, a media content provider may determine a recommended backset for each client devices based characteristics of the client device. Each client device may then be backset by the determined value, or may calculate its own backset based on the recommended backset. Establishing a backset for each client device may avoid rebuffering of live transmission data.

Data flow graph representation is combined with message passing and delegation, a stackless execution model, and a real-time compiler technology, to provide an improved software development and distribution paradigm. Polymorphic objects represent nodes that can be reconfigured, replaced, and/or modified as needed. Complex functionality is achieved by passing messages among nodes. Authored content is published by replacing interactive nodes with fixed-value nodes as desired. Software representations can be translated among various isomorphic formats, including data flow graphs and scripts, without loss of information or modifiability.
