Td ableton components don't load info until song plays

hi, i love td ableton. one thing right now though, when i load a new song in ableton, my td ableton components show the black screen or a default list of parameters until i press play on the song, then it usually loads right up. is there some force i can do to make the components load up as soon as the ableton session is loaded?

happy to send a video of what i’m experiencing, but here are 2 screenshots. in the first,
you’ll see the abletonMIDI1 comp has just 3 parameters in there, but those aren’t the ones i use, those load up right after i press play, that’s the second picture:

A lot of ableton information doesn’t exist until it “happens”. If you need default values, you can set up a default CHOP network using a replaceCHOP or mergeCHOP. That way you’ll have startup values that will be replaced when the MIDI changes. Let me know if that doesn’t work for you.
