### ERROR

The error "Unable to Allocate processing Broadcaster(s)"

The issue is caused by the target configuration, on the source preference it had a specific source from the current channel selected.

When switching channels, that source doesn’t exist on the new channel and prompts the error.

### WORKAROUND

As a work around change the target’s Source Preference to “Any” before making any channel changes.
