thanks for your reply, There is only one instance of "SqueezeSvr.exe" &
one "SqueezeTray.exe" 
It was only a random guess because when I boot up the "Starting LMS"
icon flashes several times so I thought perhaps it was starting more
than once. It seems to time-out when trying to connect using the
interface but it also happens on the local pc that is running lms. so I
don't think it's a network issue.

What makes you think this would be caused by two instances of LMS
running at the same time?

In any case... Check Windows Task Manager and the running processes to
see how many instances of "SqueezeSvr.exe" are listed.

Get into Windows Task Manager by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del, then select
"Start Task Manager" from the menu. Then go to the "Processes" tab and
sort by the "Image Name" column.

I think I'm having the opposite issue. How do I check for 2 instances
running at the same time. The symptom is, timing out when ever I try to
access the music folders & then it crashes & rebooting seems to be the
only fix. I usually just load a playlist of internet radio urls, but if
I try to add anything after that is workingcrash.??

thanks in advace

Ok, I was able to get that to work. By removing the double quotes from
all of the paths.


Code:


  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Squeezebox\server\SqueezeSvr.exe" --prefsdir 
C:\ProgramData\Squeeze\40\prefs --cachedir C:\ProgramData\Squeeze\40\cache 
--logdir C:\ProgramData\Squeeze\40\logs --playeraddr 192.168.9.40 --cliaddr 
192.168.9.40 --streamaddr 192.168.9.40 --httpaddr 192.168.9.40 --d_startup

That was "squeezesvc", the one that was installed using the LMS Control
Panel.

I'm not sure your fix works. If I try it with the standard "squeezesvc"
service that was installed by the Control Panel, I get an error. Here is
what I have in ImagePath in the registry:

I'm not sure your fix works. If I try it with the standard "squeezesvc"
service that was installed by the Control Panel, I get an error. Here is
what I have in ImagePath in the registry:


Code:


  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Squeezebox\server\SqueezeSvr.exe" --prefsdir 
"C:\ProgramData\Squeeze\40\prefs" --cachedir "C:\ProgramData\Squeeze\40\cache" 
--logdir "C:\ProgramData\Squeeze\40\logs" --playeraddr 192.168.9.40 --cliaddr 
192.168.9.40 --streamaddr 192.168.9.40 --httpaddr 192.168.9.40 --d_startup



The error logged in the Windows Application event log:


Code:


  mkdir "C:\: Invalid argument; The filename, directory name, or volume label 
syntax is incorrect 
  at /Slim/Utils/Log.pm line 656



All of the folders already exist, with cache and logs empty, and prefs
contains a server.prefs file with correct paths, etc. Run from the
command line, the same string from ImagePath works fine and it looks it
recognizes all of the designated folders.

Now that I recall, running multiple instances of the EXE may not be
possible. The issue I ran into was that it never picked up the
command-line option pointing to a different prefs folder. Works with the
Perl code.

It would be easy enough to experiment with library views and see whether
or not it's adequate.

possible. The issue I ran into was that it never picked up the
command-line option pointing to a different prefs folder. Works with the

Well thats the solution to the other problem , this is the "multiuser"
problem . If understand OP ?

LSM has no concept of multiple users . Hency why some uses multiple
servers . You get the account settings for local plugins librarys local
music folders playlists ,favorites and menu customisation to follow .
The best separation you can get , some things coardinated by mysb.com is
bound to the player itself eg spotify so you have to live with that (no
family account settings ).

What about using a shortcut to the 2nd library ? I've heard of that but
am not sure how one would set it up ?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Running 2 LMS Services or Multi Library question

[Michael Herger]

I've only done it running the Perl code of LMS, but I think it should be
doable running 'compiled' EXE versions for Windows.


Yes, it should accept the same set of parameters.


I don't recall if
the LMS Windows installer lets you designate an installation folder or
not. If not, you could install one instance, move or rename its
installation folder, then install LMS a second time.


No need to install multiple instances. You can run multiple copies from 
the same location. Only the data folders need to be different.


But I doubt it's the easiest solution to the OP's problem. I'd rather 
try to run two different library views from the same server. If the data 
is well tagged and structured, this should be pretty straight forward.
