2.5 Encoding in Mono

Note that when using the Reflector for Mono transmissions, the audio input should be

presented on the left channel; in mono mode the right channel input is ignored. At the

receiving end, the mono audio will be presented on both output channels.

2.6 Device Input LEDs

On suitable hardware (e.g. Exstreamer500 / 1000) the IO LEDs on the front of the device

show the state of the device's inputs.

2.7 Auto Failover playback

In Decoder mode, if the incoming stream fails the Reflector client application will:

 set the device status to reflect the cause; either 'No incoming stream', or 'No

Reflector service available'

 if a USB stick / microSD card is connected then the device will automatically search

for a playlist file (playlist.m3u) in the root of the attached storage

 The playlist.m3u file should contain a list of MP3 files, which should also be on the

storage media: these files will be played when the decoder has no network audio

stream.

 As soon as the network audio stream is available again, the device playback will

switch over to it, exiting failover mode.

2.8 Flag streaming error on local relay

Both Encoders and Decoders can be configured via the Reflector service UI to flag stream

failure on a local relay – the hardware device must have the relay! (Exstreamer 100 and

Instreamer 100 do not, therefore, support this functionality.

Owing to the nature of the service, the Decoder can flag this stream failure virtually

instantaneously, but the encoder requires up to 90 seconds to report the failure.
