Probably bug, 1.8rc3 windows player hangs

I am back to Watchdog App in multy monitor configuration.

I hadn’t been able to launch more than one instances (renamed .exe’s) of watchdog until I found out that there was a protection in source code.

Here is the line in “main”:
static Mutex mutex = new Mutex(true, “Watchdog”);

If a second instance launches and sees the same named mutex - it automatically exists.

I have changed this line to:

static Random my_rnd = new Random(DateTime.Now.Millisecond);
static Mutex mutex = new Mutex(true, “Watchdog” + my_rnd.Next(1,int.MaxValue).ToString());

Now I can launch as many watchdogs as I want.

Question to xibo developers:
My configuration is: one PC - two monitors.
Are the following steps right to use xibo watchdogs (after my modification of source code)?:

  1. Create watchdog_1.exe, watchdog_2.exe.
  2. Configure all pathes in watchdog_1.exe.config and watchdog_2.exe.config, so they both can launch xibo_player_1.exe and xibo_player_2.exe
  3. Put watchdog_1.exe and watchdog_2.exe in startup folder (or alternativly set-up task scheduler in windows to start watchdog_1.exe and watchdog_2.exe after windows logon).

Thank you.
