Hey, it's Faizan here. Ah, the dreaded "Duplicate alternateid" error. I've run into similar issues before, and it's always a bit tricky to debug without the full context. However, based on what you've mentioned, it seems like you've got a conflict with another media server using the same alternateid as the one you're trying to set up or use.
First things first, double-check that you're not accidentally running duplicate instances of the media server with the same alternateid. If you've verified that's not the case, try these steps:
Check Configuration Files: Open up the configuration files related to your media server and look for the alternateid setting. Make sure it's unique.
Database Lookup: Sometimes, these IDs are stored in a database. Check there to see if the ID has been used before and if it's possible to either delete or update the conflicting entry.
