Not sure if this is been mentioned previously, but remote management of a Mezzmo install would be fantastic!

I currently run multiple instances of a mezzmo service on the same server (probably not supported, nor recommended but its working, and is the only way I can currently achieve the layouts I want in playlists). Unfortunately managing them is a bit of a pain as I have to launch mezzmo as a different user to configure the different instances. This is made harder as the Mezzmo interface is a single instance application, so I can only have one instance open at a time. Which brings me to my next problem: Maintain Library. The schedule option requires the interface to be open at the time. Because I can only have on instance open at a time, only one Maintenance task will run on one instance, the other one will be missed. I guess this could be fixed by a scheduled task using the /Maintenance command, except I still have the single instance issue, I would have to kill the first one off first, not knowing if it has finished or not.

I think it's already been suggested before, having the Maintenance performed by the service as opposed to the interface would fix this issue.

All good thoughts, xFallenAngelx. They match up with our ideas, so stay tuned :) We are planning to release our first remote management features in the next 1-2 months. They may not contain all the features you need, but they will be starting point for more feature development in this area.
