Title: Multiple copies of MJ/Server simultaneously?
Post by: loraan on March 03, 2003, 03:03:08 pm

Is it possible to run multiple copies of MJ, each loading a separate library, simultaneously--e.g. so I could manage a library in one while I listen to music in another, or play muted video in one while listening to a music file from another?

On the same lines, it is definitely possible to run two copies of Media Server at the same time, but how to point them at two separate configurations? I want to share one library one one port and another library on a different port.

Thanks for the tips!

You can run Media Server 2 times, i just tried, not sure if it will work, but they did adjust the IP address ones was :80 the other :81

Yeah, you can run the server twice, and if you have it set to auto-select port, then it will choose a different port.  The problem is that it will also share the same library each time, I believe. I would like one copy to share one library and the other copy to share the other library. In addition, I would like to assign each library to a specific port so that I can forward those ports through my firewall.

Was your "no" at the beginning of your message saying that no, you can't run MJ twice?

Thanks for the reply,
