Can't get xLights to render

[Keither]

Maybe I'm doing something stupid, but I can't get xLights to render a sequence and save. It's only around 5000 channels. Every time I try to render the sequence and save, it looks like it is starting, and the main rendering status bar never moves past a tiny bit of green. None of the models on the rendering pop up show any progress either. I checked the task manager, and xLights is using 89mb of memory, but 0-3% of the cpu leaving me to believe it's not doing anything.
Thanks

I have also tried crashing out the program and starting from scratch, but the new sequence won't render either.

Alright, came back after a 30 minute break and it was finishing up, I hope future renders are faster maybe. So never mind lol.

Check your xLights_l4cpp.log logfile (not sure where it sits on windows - but is found in /tmp on linux)
In there it will say if certain effects are getting stuck

Update, must have been the first render, it now renders a lot more info in seconds!
