NINJAM private servers

[Justin]

Since people have expressed interest in setting up private servers, we're doing an experiment, which is to add 50 servers, each with a 4 person max (and 2 channels per user). They are labeled in the list as "private server".

(side note: the list is too small! the next version of ReaNINJAM will have a resizable list which will make it easier to read).

Anyway, the servers are not _truly_ private. They are like having a studio with a door that doesn't lock. So please be respectful and don't join a server that isn't empty unless you're invited, and if you think it's empty and there's someone already there, leave ASAP.

This is just an experiment. If it fails miserably maybe we'll add the capability to put locks on the doors (for a limited amount of time, anyway). Or maybe they'll all go away, or become normal public rooms.

Stay safe everybody!

Fantastic!
Timed lock would be nice solution for many uses that require privacy, I think.
A good step.

P.S.: These servers/rooms shouldn't have auto record / autosong enabled though (for privacy reasons, obviously).

Not having looked at the code, of course... but...

- Add the idea of channel passwords (in addition to user passwords).
- Allow "anonymous" entry to a channel to require a password.
- Add the ability to lock a channel with a password.
- Add a maximum channel (or server) lock timeout.

Then, something like "!lock <password> (<timeout>)" to set a lock (for up to timeout minutes or the max configured limit if not specified or less) and anyone else wanting to enter the channel would need the password.

This is amazing!!! Thanks a lot!!! It will be tested today and I will share our experience ASAP, this will be our first digital rehearsal! Are "log ins" anonymous or is there a standard user/password?

If there are any basic instructions for a new user?. I have been able to join but I wonder if it is possible to change BPM and how to invite someone

to change bpm, you can use "!vote bpm 130", change bpi use "!vote bpi 16" etc. To invite someone, tell them (via some other channel) where you are.

How do you connect to a private room through jamtaba?
