This is mostly a question, not a bug report or a request.
MM5 install optionally imports config from MM4, and this results in MM5 Tools|Options|Library|MediaSharing listing the same Servers as MM4 ... ie identical Server Names and ports.
In my environment, Both MM4 & MM5 show the same server as being enabled and running. ... ie. MediaMonkey4 Library, <actual ip address>:15873
When MM4 & MM5 are running concurrently what is happening? ... both versions of MM are publishing a server with the same name? .. or both versions of MM are subscribed to an independent server with the name MediaMonkey4? .... when I browse to this service with my Sonos equipment, who is responding?
This seems a muddle. Is it?
What is the recommended configuration when starting fresh with MM5? .... presumably I should Add a new server with its own name? and turn off the server spec imported from MM4? ... why doesn't the MM5 install program do this for me when it imports my config from MM4? ... ie. clone from MM4 config, and then make unique by appended MM5 to the name, and assign its own port number?
If I am manually adding a server, what is the recommended setting for IP Address on the Server tab ... ie. Automatic or the actual IP address? ... what are the use cases for each?
What is the logic used when you suggest a port number? ... is this just random, or do you check somewhere to see whether it is already in use?
