NLite single instance support

[artmetz]

I'm a heavy user of NLite. Could you add single instance support so that when I launch NLite from my remote and it is already running, it appears and takes the focus like the NextPVR client does?
Normally I'm careful to keep NLite in the foreground, but occasionally I'll switch to another app with my remote and it's tricky to get back to NLite.
Maybe this needs to be a preference in case someone is using 2 instances of NLite to watch 2 different recordings... (Picture outside of picture - lol)

Ok, I've updated client.zip to behave that way.

You can also run with "-multiple" if you want to allow multiple instances

Great, thanks! I'll have to try out the picture outside of picture to see if it works. Once in a while I want to watch 2 games at once and used V4's PIP to do that.

I've updated the files, but am still seeing multiple instances.
My shortcut is:
C:\Users\Public\NLite\NLite.exe -high -server:10.8.19.71:8866:0000

More info. It doesn't seem to work on Windows 7. On Windows 10, it works sometimes, not always.
Doesn't seem to be much in the NLite log:

I tried on Windows 10 Home and it is still creating multiple instances.

Hmm, seems to be working here. What date/time is on your nlit.exe?

Same here.

Same here.

so not working for you either?

On windows 10 it seems to work sometimes/initially. I ran my shortcut several times in a row both on Windows 7 & Windows 10.
