forked_daapd does not support multiple instances of Owntone (forked_dappd) running on the same host #60313

The problem

I have a server running multiple instances of Owntone on different ports. Owntone is quite happy to do this, and it works fine by the Owntone WebUI. However, even though Home Assistant will see all the instances, it will only let me configure one. Once I have one configured, any additional configuration says "Device is already configured". Moreover, when it sees the ZeroConf message from another instance (on a different port) it will update the name. So instead of saying "Basement - owntone.local" it will change it to "Main Level - owntone.local" --- which is certainly incorrect.

To test this, run two instances of owntone on the same machine. You will need to duplicate owntone.conf into another file (owntown-zone.conf), you will need to uncomment and change the three "port" definitions, and change the two database definitions, and then you can run owntone -c owntone-zone.conf. Then go to HA Configuration -> Integrations and try to configure both instances of owntone. It'll let you do the first, but wont let you do the second.. And if you restart HA it may change the name of the configured instance.

Hey there @uvjustin, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (forked_daapd) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! (message by CodeOwnersMention)

Sorry, I was out of the country without my laptop during the "stale" period. @uvjustin any chance you could have a look at this?
