FPP Connect kicks off FPP Schedule

[ukkeef]

Hi, not 100% sure where to put this but I was wondering if someone could explain what is happening for me. I'm running XLights 2025.12.1, Falcon F16 V3 and Raspberry PiV5 with FPP 8.5.1. If I use FPP connect to upload a sequence to FPP during scheduled show time the currently running playlist stops and the highest priority playlist starts up. Is that normal? Not really a deal breaker as I can manually restart the correct playlist. Thanks in advance for any comments.

If you upload any Channel configurations or UDP outputs, FPP has to perform a restart so yes, this is the expected behavior. But if you have already configured your outputs, you do not need upload them again.
