Print from SD-card and connect Octoprint problem?

I'm not sure what has happened during my last print. Normally I use Octoprint to control my MK3s.But this time I used a SD-card to print. The first layers where fine. But when I checked from the other room using Octoprint I could see there was a problem.

The carriage was moving back to home like when a crash was detected. When checking the printer the was trying to recover from a crash.

But it looks like it crashed when some thing weird happened during the print.

I was printing a new x-carriage backplate but some how the printer was now printing something else. The display still showed something like "x-carr..."

Now when the printer was recovering from a crash it was trying to print on the first layer again and drag the nozzle through the already printed part.

And it was not printing the same part anymore. In the picture you can see that it made two new loops that don't look like the original part at all.

Could this be a problem with Octoprint connecting to the printer during a print from SD-card?

There is only one gcode file on the SD-card but there are some pictures on it too.

I haven't checked yet if the part that the printer started to print matches some thing on Octoprint.

I have now printed the exact same gcode file using octoprint and that worked just fine.

 

But to test I printed an other part using the sd-card (without the rpi conneted) and that finished just fine till the end. When the print finished the printer started a new print. It didn't do the bed leveling but extruded the line at the edge of the bed end then moved to the middle and bumped in to the print that just finished.

 

I don't really care about printing from sd-card, but would like to know what is happening and how to fix it.
