Let us know if and when you know for sure whether it's solved or not.

So was Isadora getting constant OSC messages to go to a particular Scene? I'm not sure if it's what you did, but putting a Jump actor in a background Scene is not best practice because in relative mode, the jump will always be relative to the background Scene, not any other Scene you may have active. You could use Activate Scene actors in a background Scene actors or make a User Actor with your OSC Listener and Jump actor set up inside it, then put that User Actor in every Scene so you can use OSC to cause a jump from any Scene you happen to have active as the primary Scene.

Also in cases like this, you could try going to Output > Pause Engine, then navigating through your Scenes to check for a group of actors that might be causing continuous jumps.

@woland: nope, it appears again by using wired.sc.footage. Files being saved are empty.

@markelinus

What is "wired.sc.footage"?

Can you please provide your Isadora file so that I can take a look at it myself?

[markelinus]

@woland: determind scripted content at mp4 file, makes me a bit insecure work environment - better sandbox first ;>)

[markelinus]

@woland: Like noted previously the error occurs only with delivered footage. Also checked for virus possibly included to the 2 mp4 files, luckily negative...

 Pl. find att. link for the izz-file: https://we.tl/t-t0mtH4DWjq

Thx for having a look deeper ]:+>

@markelinus

I'll take a look later today

@markelinus

Looking at the media info for your two imported video files, they list the codec as "hvc1" which indicates that these are h265.mp4 video files, which are not officially supported and is probably the source of the strange behavior. If you convert your media to h264.mp4 you should have an easier time.

Thanks for the media and the very simple file though, it makes it easy for me to repro the problem and log this as a bug.

@woland: Thx for looking into - with the converted footage working with Isadora is fine again..

 What's the bug? That Isadora doesn't like H265?

Yes, or that it doesn't like something else specifically about these particular h265.mp4 video files (though h265 is most likely the source of the issue in my opinion). Either way, I now have media and clear repro steps to cause the problem, which made it easy for me to log this issue.
