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/login - 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)

** 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

Below we have compiled screenshots of the configuration required for the most popular programs: (please also check user manuals of platform being used)
