More then one instance of BS on macOS

interesting behavior, if you launch BambuStudio on macOS, use StudioBridge, the printers show up in BS, but when you start a second instance of BS, that second one can’t be forced to detect the printers through StudioBridge

Yes, that's right. I think it's a Bambu Studio problem.
When you start BS, it opens UDP port 2021, which receives all the traffic from the network and find your printer.
If you open another instance, BS (2) will not open a UDP port, so it's impossible to inject the printer via StudioBridge.

Here you can see, that I opened 2 instances and only 1 Port is open for Bambu:

I came to the same conclusions. I’m trying to find a simple way to solve my problem. My printers are on a different subnet than my computers. When I used Orca Slicer, there was no issue because it uses simple MQTT communication. Studio Bridge is a huge step forward in what I need. Now I’m fighting with the next BS instances. What surprises me is that I put one printer for testing in the same subnet as the computer, and it’s also not visible in the newly opened BS instances. Maybe it’s some BS bug…

Yes, i can confirm this problem. I also didn't get my Printer from the same network in another BS instance

I opened an issue on BambuStudio for this
