If you are purchasing from our store in world, then creating your stream will be done via the web page on your account. Just follow the instructions on that page.

If you have purchased off the Second Life Marketplace, your stream information will be contained in a product box delivered to your Received Items folder in your inventory.

In your inventory, locate the folder called - Type (Type is the version you purchased i.e. Store, Pro or DJ). In this folder you will find the following item:

TIS Live - Type (Type is the version you purchased i.e. Store, Pro or DJ).

For the purpose of these instructions we have purchased the TIS Live - Shoutcast Store. The process is the same for all Stream types purchased i.e Icecast Store, Icecast Pro, Shoutcast Pro, Shoutcast DJ Monthly, Shoutcast DJ Weekly, Icecast DJ Monthly, Icecast DJ Weekly.

First locate the - Shoutcast Store in your folder and drag it out to the ground in world.

You will be initially presented with a dialogue box to enter your Stream Name. Stream name must be 4 -20 characters and can only be lower case letters or numbers 0-9:

When you have entered a stream name and pressed Submit you will get this in chat:

- Shoutcast Store: Please wait, creating your stream now....

You will then receive in chat, once the stream has been created, the details of your stream. We recommend copying and pasting this information into a notecard for safe keeping:

You can log into your TIS Live Centova Panel in one of two ways:

• Via live.thereinspirit.com using the username and password given to you when you set up your stream.
• Via thereinspirit.com - here you can manage your SL purchases, as well as your TIS Live stream.

Your Centova control panel is where you configure details of your stream, upload and configure tracks for AutoDJ, and create DJ accounts for live broadcasts.

All streams allow you to stream music\audio live from your computer into second life via our servers. Additionally, if you have selected a package with disk space, you can upload your own tracks and use AutoDJ to continually play through those tracks in your absence - this is particularly useful if you have a house or store and want your own music playing 24/7.

Below are links to the official Centova documentation to help you get the most from your stream. Please make sure to read through these and familiarise yourself with basic streaming operation.

Live Broadcast programs:

There are many, many programs that allow DJs to stream to Shoutcast and Icecast, here's a few of the most popular:

• Butt (Cross Platform)
• Mixxx (Cross Platform)
• Virtual DJ (Cross Platform)
• ServeStream (Cross Platform)

** Please note due to the huge combination of applications, versions, configurations, and devices, we are unable to offer support for these programs, many of which have their own rich support communities. There are also numerous DJ groups in Second Life where you will be able to get advice and chat to people who currently stream live into SL - one of these is the TIS Live Stream Group - secondlife:///app/group/300cc4ea-9489-18f6-9bdb-71f0516a4320/about
