This can be seen easily if, instead of an MP3 file, a WAV or FLAC file is provided, or if the S3 server is not started when a transcode request occurs.

Chapter 4, Exploring Observables and Observers, explained several ways to handle errors. The time has come to see how to apply them in a real application. There are two main ways to handle errors in RxPY—with the on_error handler, or with dedicated operators.
