Hello everyone!
I'm new here so in the beginning i apologize if this was already asked, but i surfed the forum a bit and didn't find answers..
I'm using sc14 and I would to show two different version of the same project (e.g. a car) in two distinct sc's windows (I start two separate instances of sc).
I have a problem with the port number of the second instance, because I can control the first from a port 5555 (localhost: 5555), while the second one does not know to which port responds,
Is there anyone who can answer that question?
Sorry for any typo, writing from mobile browser

sorry if i ask, but i'm not sure what you are asking:
are you trying to control showcase from a browser interface (using localhots:5555 in the browser), with 2 showcase istances running on the same pc at the same time (poor pc š ), or are you trying to connect 2 machines , one istance each) and control them one from the other?
or, both from a third device using the browser?
is this needed for scene comparison?
are you running a pro version of showcase?
Why don't you used the feature Compare scene side by side?
The first two scenes are shown side-by-side. The interface switches to presentation mode.
If you are already in presentation mode, you can also click this button.
For each side, the active scene in the Compare Scenes interface is shown with the eye icon. The icon for the scene on the other side is grayed out.
You can change the camera angles for both sides by navigating around in either side, by clicking on the ViewCube, or by selecting shots, turntables, or alternatives. In all cases, the objects in both sides move the same way.

I thank you for the answers.
yes!
i would control showcase from a browser interface using localhost:5555 in the browser with 2 showcase istances running on the same pc at the same time (the pc is very strong! š ), but I can not get it!
If I have 2 SC istances running, only the first one I started listening to commands from the browser, the other no.
I'm using a pro version.
MarionLandry your solution is useful,
but this way I can only compare the two scenes with the presentation.
Instead I would like to compare two scenes and, at the same time, be able to modify elements of a scene (eg the color of a component).
It is possible do this?

if we could have access to the connection options, it could be possible to connect showcase's 2nd instance to the same server..
this would be great if it would be possible.
I try to do it according to the solution proposed by MarionLandry, you know what are the functions (so as to control them from the browser) to use?
I found the feature to enable mode "compare scenes" (I used the COMPARISON_UI_SET_MODE) but I do not find that to "add additional scenes to compare" and for displaying "side by side",
do you know what?
well, APPLICATION_LOAD_SCENE loads the scene, but if I do it after I activated the compare mode the object on the scene disappears
although I active mode manually on showcase side by side mode, I see the empty background only
I gave up the idea of having two different instances of SC, I'm trying to start a side-by-side from a browser interface but for now I can not find the function that does this,
maybe it's better to close this topic and start a new one?

are you sure it is worth to use 2 scenes?
why you don't use alternatives instead?
yes, I need to show two scenes at the same time to compare them. I do not know if I can do this with alternatives.
With "COMPARISON_UI_SET_MODE" function I can activate "COMPARE SCENE" (Present menu in the dialog SC) through the browser interface, now I need the function that executes the command to add scenes.
i think i got it solved, try the command
STAGE_OPEN..
this is the command streamed when you add a scene in showcase comparison mode!
Also, remember to use double / instead of single when putting the file adress..
the proper list of command should include the
STAGE_ACTIVE_LIST after the scene 2 is loaded
don't have time to provide a working template right now, but will do if you can't manage to get it solved with this hints š
always use whocase console + echomessage, it gives a lot of hints on what is happening!
better have 2 screen, one with viewport and the other with console
hope it helps
great!
STAGE_OPEN does just what I needed.
thanks for that.

can you explain? I did not understand this.
Also, I did not understand if the
STAGE_ACTIVE_LIST
I have to do it or not, it seems to me that it is executed automatically.
Finally, if I press on Present / Side-by-Syde according console runs as shown in the picture:
I should use the same function to activate it, is not it?

you have to use // instead of /, that's what i meant, but i think you got it already š
stage active list let you decide if a scene goes on the right or on the left, but if it does it automatically nevermind, you don't need it š
glad it worked š
ah ok! I understand now!
seeing the picture I posted above, I have tried to use this:
<a href="#" onclick="send_request('STAGE_ACTIVE_LIST::[(Right:C:\\TMP\\Project-name.zip),(Left:\'\']');">STAGE_ACTIVE_LIST</a>
SC gives me this error message:
while if I try this:
<a href="#" onclick="send_request('STAGE_ACTIVE_LIST::[(Right:C:\\TMP\\Project-name.zip),(Left:\\'\\']');">STAGE_ACTIVE_LIST</a>
both SC and the console return me anything and on the scene and nothing happens (Compare Scene Mode has already been activated, and the second scene loaded)
where am I wrong?
