Multiple instances of TMS 5.0

Post by drgaston » Fri Apr 10, 2009 11:58 pm

My kids and I are listening to VERY different music, hence I have been running 2 service instances of TwonkyMediaServer 4.xx on Windows for a while now with no issues as described in http://www.twonkyforum.com/viewtopic.ph ... 909#p15909.

I am considering upgrading to TMS 5 and downloaded the trial, but the commands and parameters seem to have completely changed - a little help would be needed in terms of:
  • what are acceptable command line parameters for twonkymediaserverwatchdog.exe?
  • what are the possible values in the twonkymedia-server-default.ini file?
  • are all the above values accepted as parameters on the TwonkyMediaServer.exe command line?
  • is the location of the database directory taken straight from the data.dir file?
  • which directories are searched for a data.dir file and in which order?
With this information I should be able to configure two service instances of TMS 5 to run concurently on Windows, and will report my findings on this forum.

Thanks,

--Nicolas.
