If the two instances have the same MAC address defined you will have a problem, so check and make sure they are different. I need to re-work the whole Mac Address part for the player, so that you don't have to specify it. The squeeze-lite player (squeezelite-win.exe) will default to the computer's network card Mac address if none is specified. Squeezelite-X defaults to an arbitrary MAC address and specifies that in the command line parameters to start up squeezelite-win.exe. I did that as a temporary implementation, so that I would know the player MAC Address. But I am working on a new implementation where I need to just let squeezelite use its default and then get that from LMS so that Squeezelite-X knows the ID of its player. I was working on that Sunday night, but ran out of time and had to go out of town for a few days. My first try had code to get the computer's network card Mac Address, but then I realized I had a problem when the computer had more than one network card. I need to pick the same one that squeezelite-win picked and that was not always happening. The best way will be to query LMS, not the local computer, but I ran out of time Sunday. Anyway, the next build (when I get back) will not have a field for Mac Address and you won't accidentally have two instances with the same address, which is very easy to do right now.
