Hello All,
Apologies if this is not the right forum.
I would like to run multiple, independant, SoftSqueeze instances on a single
PC that also hosts my SlimServer instance (so as to play multiple different
streams simultaneously). When multiple instances are launched in the obvious
ways they "conflict" in unusual ways - one will control the other or
similar.
It appears to me that SlimServer differentiates clients by IP address and IP
address only - and that my preferred setup will not be possible through
SlimServer or SoftSqueeze configurations etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have a work-around that is a bit complex, but that I think will do the job
- set up a virtual server to host the SlimServer instance. Assign as many IP
addresses to that virtual server as simultaneous players are required.
Assign as many IP addresses to the player host as simultaneous players are
required. Set up a 1 to 1 route for each player host IP to a different
server host IP. This should cause each player to be visible to the server as
originating from a different IP, and therefore allow them to act
independantly. Thoughts on alternative work-arounds are also welcome.
Thanks,
Nathaniel
