DJ guide

1. Get on the venue’s DJ list

   The venue owner adds you on their DJs tab, using your Second Life name and the on-air name you will go live as. You cannot log in until they do.

   If you are not on the list, the board tells you so when you try DJ login. Ask the owner to add the username it shows.

2. Get your login from the board

   1. Go to the venue and touch its SetList board.
   2. Choose DJ login.
   3. The board gives you a one-time link in chat, and a pop-up that offers to open it. It works once and expires after 15 minutes.
   4. Open the link in your browser.
   5. Press Continue to your SetList dashboard. You land on the DJ login page.

   The first time you do this at a venue, SetList links your avatar to your DJ login. That link is what lets the tip jar pay you. If you DJ at more than one venue, the page shows one card per venue, each with its own login.

   There is no password for the dashboard. Touch the board again whenever you need a new link.

3. Read your login page

   WhereDJ login pageCard with your venue name

   The card for your venue shows You go live as your on-air name, then five values: Server, Port, Mount, Username and Password. Press Copy next to a value to copy it. The password stays hidden until you press Show.

   If you lose your password or think someone else has it, press Regenerate password. The old password stops working right away, so update your software.

   The card can also show a notice:

   • The owner has disabled your login. You cannot connect until the owner enables you on their DJs tab.
   • The venue's stream is switched off. The owner has not renewed. You can connect again once they pay.
   • Your login is not active yet. The venue's stream is still being set up. Check back in a few minutes. The Port shows being set up until then.

4. Enter the settings in your DJ software

   Use server type Icecast 2, format MP3, 128 to 192 kbps (192 is the maximum the station accepts) and stereo. Then enter the server, port, mount, username and password from your login page.

   The table shows what each program calls those fields. Type the values from your login page, not the words in the table.

   Field names in each program

   Setting	BUTT	Mixxx	Traktor	VirtualDJ
   Server	Address	Host	Address	Server
   Port	Port	Port	Port	Port
   Mount	Icecast mountpoint	Mount	Mount point	Mount
   Username	Icecast user	Login	(none: use username:password)	Username
   Password	Password	Password	Password	Password
   Server type	Icecast	Icecast 2	Icecast 2	Icecast
   Format	MP3	MP3	MP3	MP3

   No username field?

   If your software has no separate username field, type username:password (joined with a colon) into its password field. Traktor works this way.

5. Go live

   1. In your software, connect to the server or start broadcasting.
   2. Give it a moment. The board then shows LIVE with your on-air name, and the track you are playing. It can take up to half a minute to update.
   3. When you stop, disconnect in your software. AutoDJ takes over again.

   Only one DJ can be live at a time. When you connect, AutoDJ steps aside. Listeners who turned on alerts at the board get an IM when you go live, and the venue may also post to Discord.

6. Your sets and “only during slots”

   Your upcoming sets for the next 14 days are listed on your login page, in Second Life Time (SLT, US Pacific). The owner adds and changes them on the Schedule tab.

   The owner can switch on Only let DJs connect during their slots. When it is on:

   • Your login works during sets assigned to you, starting 10 minutes before the set begins.
   • If you are still on air when your set ends, you are disconnected within a minute.
   • Outside your sets, the server refuses your login.

   When it is off, you can connect at any time, as long as you are on the list and not disabled.

7. Tips to you

   When someone pays the venue's tip jar while you are live, the jar sends your share straight to your avatar in L$. Your share is the tip times the owner's DJ percentage, rounded down to a whole L$. Example: a L$100 tip at 50% sends you L$50.

   You are not paid a share when AutoDJ is playing, when no DJ is on deck, or when the owner is the one on deck. For the jar to pay you:

   • Your avatar must be linked. This happens the first time you use DJ login on the board.
   • The owner must have granted the jar its debit permission.

   The owner sets the percentage on their Tips & Discord tab. Ask them what it is.

8. If you cannot connect

   • Copy the values from your login page instead of typing them.
   • Check the format: Icecast 2, MP3, 128 to 192 kbps.
   • Check whether you are inside your set time, if the owner limits logins to sets.
   • Look for a notice on your login card: disabled, stream switched off or not active yet.
