Describe the Issue

projectM normally advances through different visualizers at a configurable interval. On my machine, this works for anywhere between 20 minutes to 2 hours, but eventually it will stop changing the visualizer and become stuck on a single one. This is happening consistently every single time I leave the software running.

I do not believe it has displayed every available visualizer, and the exact amount of time before it freezes is not consistent, so I'm not sure exactly what is causing it to freeze.

As far as I can tell, none of the relevant settings change this behavior. Regardless of whether shuffle is enabled, or the length of the interval/fade, it still consistently gets stuck after a while. Manually changing the visualizer with N, P, or R causes it to start changing properly again.

I even tried coping a smaller number of preset files into a separate folder, in case there was something wrong with the default presets. This didn't fix the issue either.

You can see the issue happen about halfway through this DJ performance of mine, the entire second half of the recording is stuck on the same visualizer. The projectM frontend was booted about a minute before the recording started.
