That's gonna be kind of tough if they can't reach Sai from SHX and get him to do the needed changes

Does anyone know if there's anything been heard from the SHX creator about this or will we just have to accept that this products will now no longer function as advertised?

I can hear the screams across the grid... It's a scary thought and there's no one else with anything as good in the market (well not that I've seen so far) with the same functionality (without buying lots of smaller products)

It can be perplexing - basically you create a group that "owns" the land (you can deed land to this group from your own account) and then you make your club staff members of this group. Don't let anyone have rights in your group apart from owners to create new roles or assign roles - basically it means that only you the owner can change these options then and appoint managers (if you need them) and you can't be kicked from your own group. The clever part is in the group roles for that group - create a role for DJ's and or hosts and un-check everything you don't want them to do e.g. sell/abandon land, edit terrain, set land options and so on. Don't forget that if you want Events listed in SL Search - then those roles need "Allow Event Hosting on this land" (or something like that) to be checked as well. I take the view with my staff group to let them only have the minimum amount of rights to change stream, eject folks and so on - I can add other rights temporarily if needed. In your About Land > Options when you hover the land - uncheck every box in the top half half of the screen under 'Everyone' apart from Run scripts (this lets guests have their AO's work and dance HUD's) and you should be good to go.

This is probably the "revert" feature in the SHX board kicking in - essentially if it loses contact with your stream for a period of seconds, it "assumes" the stream is down and switches back to a radio stream. The board Manager can turn this off via the Manager or Options menu and it can also be set off in the !settings card of the SHX so that it can resume through resets and so on.

+1 for this - I tried a couple of smaller stream boards from other creators and they had the same issue - it's not confined to Saii and the SHX products as Qwalyphi said

Yes - our main club is but I've just tried a separate SHX on my home parcel next door on Caemars Demise (which is running Second Life Server 17.05.05.326149) and after initially working - it now seems to be doing the same behaviour after I crossed from Caemars in to Leodegrance. Soi goodness knows what's happening I just rezzed a stream board on the Caemars Demise parcel and it now seems to be working as expected (which it didnt before) - my brain hurts now

I've got the same error code Alison - the Labs have done a region restart for me and it's not cured it. We've changed nothing on the board or it's config and the stations we're using did give song information on the board. I filled in the contact form for Sai on the SHX website but I've not had a copy of the contact come back to my eMail which is kind of worrying me - it might be that song information is processed on a server external to SL (a bit like Xander Kappler does with his excellent Google calendar boards) and that server has crashed, is no longer there or not being maintained. If the Connection error code is an http code (which is how in-world stuff talks to the web outside) then code 499 is "CLIENT CLOSED REQUEST" e.g. the server refused the connection - in which case we have to wait for Sai and his team to fix it perhaps? The only other thing that might be going on - it might be a server software versioning thing going on? We know that different regions run different versions at varying times - perhaps something else was 'fixed' but it's now causing this error?

I know, I work on the basis that if we don't say anything then everyone will assume everythings rosy and happy - these topics will be read by Lindens, so folk should be vocal. At least then no one can say "But no one ever said anything..."

For the love of mike - can something be done with Group Chat? I'm in a group of 4 with some friends and most evenings we get [14:10] [Second Life: The message sent to The Sisters Grimm is still being processed. If the message does not appear in the next few minutes, it may have been dropped by the server.] How hard can it be? There can't be thousands of residents trying to talk in group altogether at any given minute or is the group chat lagging tied in with the MarketPlace lag that seems to happen more often these days? Are they sharing hardware and why? This isn't a new issue - Group Chat has been notorious for years - that alone should be enough to get it moved up the list?

I posed a question the other week about a load of rental boxes in a Linden Home on Baykus. Someone quoted the covenant for Linden homes : "You agree that your Linden Home Is for residential use only. Business use of any kind is prohibited, including parcel rental, rental boxes, classified ads or other forms of advertising, and event listings." and I've filed abuse reports from the house but nothing has been done. Could the lack of action be presumed that the covenant no longer applies and that "anything goes" on Linden land? That seems to be the attitude that this will engender unless something is seen to be done - otherwise it will be clubs and shops in Linden Homes next because folk will know that Linden Lab won't shut em down. One very disappointed member since 2006 here....

There's a Linden home opposite mine on Baykus that has a dozen or more rental boxes inside with prim walls added to block the view from outside (except I can cam in). I thought that Linden Homes weren't allowed for commerce? The added script/server load would explain some of the lag we've had at home lately - I've filed an AR but I'm not sure if anyone will deal with this?

I keep hearing the words "This club is PG" around the grid and mostly it seems in situations where residents begin to either swear or use words of a sexual nature like boobs, bum (and other variations) - it would seem that some of the folk saying that haven't listened to most post 15 year olds lately. Lately it seems to be becoming a catch all for 'shutting down' almost any behaviour that any other resident finds embarassing or they don't understand the context of the words use i.e. "Does my bum look big in this?" (which in the UK is a commonly used point of houmour). Could Linden Labs point me at a definition of what they consider to be PG in this context and also realistically what sanctions a Resident or Club owner would face if an Abuse Report were filed? (I have been a resident for over 6 years and it only seems in the last couple of years that 'PG' has become a valid excuse for moderating other residents behaviour and languafe - some say from the merging of the Teen Grid and the creation of Zindra - it's also becoming tiresome to encounter what appears to be a firm conviction that Linden's are monitoring chat waiting to pounce on errant residents!)
