Problem with Octoprint from TFT mode

I guess I will answer since I know what the problem is. I fell for this myself. The BTT Firmware works different from what you would expect after using say octoprint. The Firmware will send all the settings on the display every second to the controller. This interrupts anything octoprint does. The firmware really needs a "Passive" mode.

I just hit this after installing the TFT24 on my printer yesterday. Octoprint worked for 15 mins then stopped updating messages on progress. Yet still would receive temp for the nozzle and hot bed.
