Running multiple instances with different process names

[melimalo]

I am trying to run multiple instance of VLC in parallel. I need more than just the normal way, because the different instances are still using the same process.

I need completely distinct instances that are seen by the computer as entirely separate apps.

I need this because I am routing audio between apps in my computer and I have discovered that multiple instances of VLC will output the same sound, summed from the different instances.

I need the sounds to be separate so I can route them effectively.

Do I need to compile VLC with different settings each time? How can I do this?

Thank you so much for your help

Hi Melimalo

I'm looking for exactly the same thing... Did you find a solution so far?

I'm also trying to control more than one instance separately and haven't found a way to do this yet.
