The Status Bar is your connection information center. Find out at a glance everything from net traffic to clip status. The information is passed to you through both text and icons:
  | Initially, you will see the word Connecting and the timer while the Player finds and connects to the content site. | |
 | During buffering you will see a timer icon indicating that action is taking place, but not yet
finished, the word Buffering... and a gauge will also be displayed to let you know how much of the buffering
has been completed.

   | Status of the clip (Play, Stop, Pause)
| |
 | Stream bandwidth in Kbps (kilobits/sec).
| |
 | When you are accessing any clip that utilizes the new G2 technologies, this status light will appear. The indicator is overridden by several higher priority messages (e.g. Mute) | |
   | Net Health. Your experience is only as good as your connection. Green represents a good connection, Yellow represents some information loss, but it is minimal, Red tells you that there is severe information loss and that rebuffering is necessary. This will cause a short pause in playback. | |
  | SureStream indicator. If your connection slows down due to traffic or line-noise, and the clip you are playing has been created with the new G2 technology, you may see yellow arrows indicating that the clip is 'downshifting' to a lower bitrate so you won't have to re-buffer. As the connection improves or if the connection is better than expected you will see green arrows indicating an 'upshift' in the bitrate. | |
|
|  | When the mute button is depressed, this indicator will appear. Click the speaker icon again to return volume to normal. |
