Changing the port of the media-scanner

General
1

Hi,

This might be a simple question I just can’t seem to find anywhere. I’m trying to run Caspar twice on one machine (One for GFX, one for VT). If I use just one media scanner it doesn’t seem to scan the correct folders on the second server, but it won’t allow me to start running a second media-scanner without changing the port. Am I doing something wrong? I can’t seem to find a way to change the media-scanner’s port & the scanner isn’t scanning for the second server.

Thanks :slight_smile:
Thomas.

Brill, that does seem to add the functionality I need - I could not find that when searching earlier :smiley:

However, I’m struggling to get that to build, have you had any success?

I noticed @rrebuffo’s ping and spent some time trying to push out a build. Ended up ditching pkg for nexe, and made it work.

I can upload a release there and you can get me some feedback :slight_smile:

Seems like that release isn’t working, not sure why?

Why are you running two Caspars on the same machine? If you require multiple channels, it’s just a matter of adding them in the config file.
