Update to today’s 2.4.9 BETA build
The right way to connect to multiple engines would be to use the MCEBuddy Remote Client (since typically you’ll have only one engine per machine, each remote client can connect to a single engine).
This is a zip file, extract the files into a directory and click on the file MCEBuddy.GUI.exe to start the remote client. The reason it’s a zip file is that windows only allows each setup to be installed once, hence you can’t install MCEBuddy more than once on a single machine. However using a zip file you can extract the files into multiple directories and start each one separately.
Remember you can start each directory install only once, so if you want say 3 dashboards, extract the zip file into 3 separate directories. Start each one separately. The added advantage is that the settings are stored in each directory’s config folder, so each remote client will remember which engine they were connected.
Now you can start multiple remote clients from your startup script to create a dashboard.
