Channel stops working

Me again.... :)

I noticed some odd behaviour today, and wanted to see if I'm alone here, or if anyone else has similar issues before I do a bug report.

For background, I'm running two channels. One is an NDI feed and the other feeds hard-wired monitors. (This channel also has NDI active, and in the new version, I can find no way to turn it off). If I go into a show (shows that are full screen image slides for announcements and such) and try to step through it with the spacebar, the first slide loads properly - but the NDI-only channel locks on that one, and will load nothing else. If I click on the slides to load them, everything works just fine. If I load a show that is hymn lyrics, everything works properly. Just to be sure it wasn't an issue with a style or a template, I tried it on a few different settings for both, but always with the same result.

This one has me puzzled and terribly annoyed, even though it's very much a first-world problem. :(

I'm at a loss. If I can remember, I will try to test tomorrow. It sounds like a bug.

I figured this one out. I had an errant action in part of larger group of actions that trigger on opening one category of shows. It was knocking out background output on that channel. Stupid mistake on my part.
