You need to provide a different UUID via the --uuid option to the second instance

I think the --friendly-name could be use to do that automatically. this uuid seems a bit redondant

I think the benefit of keeping friendly-name and uuid separate is it allows renaming the renderer without clients losing track of it.

However, I do agree that it would be better to get away from a fixed UUID. Perhaps a UUID could be generated from friendly-name unless it's overridden with the uuid option.
