Hi @dsl400,
Could you please share the project settings as well as the process you take in order to see this issue?
I tried to recreate your issue with a simple project for the MIMXRT1170-EVKB (since I had this board on hand), and added an aimg setting its playback to 0 and 1 (since the issue you describe seems to be related to the playback time). However, I saw no error when running the micropython simulator.
