8.x master. Playlist did not load correctly by scheduler

[Jchuchla]

FPP Version and Hardware:
[v8.x-master-49-g3a0cfa85 (master branch)] on Pi 3B+

Describe the bug and Steps to reproduce:
This issue just started today after I updated my master. I didn't note the exact previous version, but it was a 7.x master before I updated. It's now showing the 8.x series. I have not updated the OS. (nor am I aware if I was supposed to or not)

I've got a simple playlist running this month. two static sequences and two branch commands to determine which sequence plays based on time window. I noticed the sequences were toggling back and forth instead of going back and repeating like it should have. When I compared the playlist on the main status page, against what i see when i edit the playlist, the one currently loaded by the scheduler was missing the first 3 items, which happened to be two startup items, and the first entry in the main section which was the first branch item.

I then restarted FPPD and it loaded the playlist properly.

Expected behavior:
The playlist should load properly in the scheduler.

Other information
I'm happy to keep testing master branch stuff, but I do use this for year round lighting, so I need basic functionality to continue working as I do so.
Tonight is the last night for this schedule. Tomorrow it switches to the valentines day schedule which is basically the same, just two different sequences.

Playlist and schedule files attached.

Whilst we'd like not to break master, at this time of year, and specially with the huge changes related to FPP 8, it's not unexpected.

If you require a stable system, please revert to FPP 7.5

Before logging bugs in FPP 8.x master, please ensure you are running the FPP 8.x fppos image, not the FPP 7.x fppos image. Please note though a lot of things are broken in FPP 8.x images, and they are only really intended for developers at this point.
