How do I control multiple video instances from remote machine?

[winiston]

Hello sir,
I am running two video instances in my project. Now i can control one video instance from my remote machine (ex: http://192.168.1.10:8080/requests/statu ... forcepause ). I want to control second video instance also. How do i control second video instance? I hope that i have to assign different port (ex :8081 ) address for second video instance. How do i assign port for the second video ?

Dear Remi,
Thanks . But the problem is ,two video instances will play automatically once the system boots.Because both the videos are in startup folder. I know, first video port number is 8080 (Default ).So i can control first video. How do i check/get the port number of second video ? so that i can control the second video also.

If i run "vlc --http-port 8081" , new instance opens.Then I have to open the relevant file from the new instance. Every time i have to manually set "vlc --http-port 8081". I want to set the port number permanently for the second video instance. Otherwise How do i get the port number of second instance which run automatically.

You use the command line, that's how.
