Really, just config files.

Copy the existing config file (/opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf) to a new one (/opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd-other.conf), and edit it appropriately.

The things you’ll *have* to change:

servername
mp3_dir (obviously)
port
db_parms (to make a new db dir… mabye /opt/var/mt-daapd-other, or something that matches your config file)

Once you have those changed, run a new copy of mt-daapd with the new config (or copy /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd to /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd-other and edit it).

/opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd-other.conf

That should do it. Ideally, there would be a separate mdns provider (like avahi) for mdns. I might look at putting that in unslung.

If I am running my own compiled version on OS X, how do I start a second instance?
