For owners

Owner setup guide

Twelve steps from payment to a working club. Each step says where to click in your dashboard. Times are Second Life Time (SLT, US Pacific).

  1. Pay at a SetList Terminal

    Pay a SetList Terminal in-world. It accepts L$400 for 1 week, L$1,600 for 4 weeks or L$4,800 for 12 weeks. Find a terminal, or see pricing.

    Your first payment creates your venue. For about a minute it shows as Setting up while your stream is built.

  2. Open your dashboard link

    As soon as the payment goes through, the terminal sends you an IM with a one-time link to your dashboard. It stays valid for 24 hours.

    1. Open the link in the browser you want to stay signed in with.
    2. Press Continue to your SetList dashboard.
    3. You land on the Overview tab. The other tabs are Setup, Schedule, DJs, AutoDJ music, Tips & Discord and History.

    To name your venue, change Venue name on the Overview tab and press Save name.

    Signing in later

    There is no password. Touch your board and choose Owner login, or touch a SetList Terminal and choose Owner login. The link works once and expires after 15 minutes.

  3. Get your kit

    WhereSetup tabGet your kit

    The SetList Courier sends your board and tip jar to your inventory, in a folder called SetList Venue Kit. The badge on this step shows Waiting for the courier, Sent or Failed. It normally arrives within a couple of minutes.

    If nothing arrives, or the badge says Failed, press Resend kit. You can also touch the SetList Courier at SetList HQ.

  4. Rez the board and tip jar

    1. Open the SetList Venue Kit folder in your inventory.
    2. Drag the board and the tip jar out onto the ground of your parcel.
    3. Wait a minute. They connect to your venue on their own.

    WhereSetup tabYour board and tip jar

    Both devices should appear in this table with their region, version and last-seen time. The Devices table on the Overview tab lists them too. If they have not appeared after a few minutes, touch each one to make it try again.

  5. Set the parcel music URL

    WhereOverview tabYour streamStream URLCopy

    1. Copy the Stream URL. It is also on the Setup tab.
    2. In Second Life, open About Land on your parcel and go to the Sound tab.
    3. Paste the URL into Music URL and save.

    Shortcut: when your board first connects, it asks you in a pop-up whether to set this parcel's music to your SetList stream. Say yes. (This works when you own the land; on group land set it by hand.)

    If there is no Stream URL yet, your stream is still being set up. Reload the page after a minute. If the Sound tab is greyed out, your avatar does not have rights to edit that parcel.

  6. Allow the tip jar to pay DJs

    Second Life asks if the jar may take L$ from you. This is the debit permission. It lets the jar pay each DJ their share of a tip. Click Grant. If you miss the request, touch the jar to be asked again.

    Then choose how tips are split.

    WhereTips & Discord tabTip splitDJ share (%)Save split

    The DJ on deck gets this share of each tip, rounded down to a whole L$. The venue keeps the rest. Example: a L$100 tip at 50% sends L$50 to the DJ and keeps L$50. When AutoDJ is playing, or you are the one on deck, the venue keeps the whole tip.

  7. Check the board

    After a minute, the board shows your lineup and what is playing. You can preview the same page in your browser.

    WhereSetup tabCheck the board shows a live pageopen the board page

  8. Add your DJs

    WhereDJs tabAdd a DJ

    1. Type the DJ's Second Life name. “Jane Doe”, “jane.doe” and “Jane Resident” all work.
    2. Type an On-air name, up to 40 characters. The board and the alerts show it, so it must be different for each of your DJs.
    3. Press Add DJ.

    The DJ appears in Your DJs with their own stream login and the status Can connect. Their Avatar column reads Not yet until they touch your board and choose DJ login. After that it reads Linked.

    If a DJ shows Waiting for station, they were added before your stream was ready. Once your Stream URL appears on the Overview tab, press Create missing stream logins.

    Disable stops a DJ connecting until you press Enable. Remove deletes their login, and their sets lose the DJ.

    Send your DJs the DJ guide.

  9. Build your schedule

    WhereSchedule tabAdd a set

    1. Repeats: choose Every week or One time only.
    2. Pick the Day (SLT) for a weekly set, or the Date (SLT) for a one-off.
    3. Set Start (SLT, 24h) and Length (minutes). Length runs from 15 to 720 minutes, in steps of 15.
    4. Choose the DJ, or choose No DJ and give the set a Title. A title is optional when a DJ is chosen.
    5. Press Add set.

    All times are Second Life Time (SLT, US Pacific). Weekly sets keep their SLT clock time through daylight-saving changes. The Next 7 days list shows what is coming, and the board's lineup shows the same next 7 days.

    WhereSchedule tabWho may connectOnly let DJs connect during their slotsSave

    When this is on, a DJ's login only works during sets assigned to that DJ, from 10 minutes before the start. A DJ still on air when their set ends is disconnected within a minute. When it is off, any DJ on your list can connect at any time. Disabled DJs cannot connect either way.

  10. Upload AutoDJ music

    WhereAutoDJ music tabUpload music

    1. Choose one or more MP3 files. Each can be up to 50 MB.
    2. Press Upload to AutoDJ.
    3. Wait a minute or two. AutoDJ starts playing your tracks.

    AutoDJ plays your tracks, shuffled, whenever no DJ is live, so your parcel is never silent. The Tracks list shows what you have uploaded. Press Delete next to a track to remove it. If the tab says your station is still being set up, uploads open as soon as the Stream URL appears on the Overview tab.

    Music licensing

    Only upload music you own or have the rights to. Music licensing is the venue's responsibility. See the terms.

  11. Set up alerts and Discord

    Listeners opt in to go-live alerts at your board: they touch it and choose Alerts on. They get an IM from the board when a DJ goes live. Tell your regulars.

    To post a message in a Discord channel too:

    WhereTips & Discord tabDiscord alerts

    1. In Discord, open the channel settings. Go to Integrations, then Webhooks, then New Webhook, then Copy Webhook URL.
    2. On your dashboard, paste it into Webhook URL and press Save webhook.
    3. The status changes to configured and shows the last 6 characters of the URL.

    Only https://discord.com/api/webhooks/… and https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/… addresses are accepted. The URL is stored encrypted and never shown again. To remove it, save with the field empty.

  12. Keep it running

    The Overview tab shows Paid until and how much time is left. Renew at any SetList Terminal. New time is added to what you have left.

    You get a reminder 3 days and 1 day before your time runs out. After that there are 3 days of grace with the stream still on. Then the stream pauses, and your DJs, schedule and music are kept for 30 days. The details are in What happens if I miss a payment?

    When the Setup tab shows Update available next to your board or tip jar, see How do I update the board or tip jar?
