I just watched a video referencing this error and how to fix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3CV1q0ZqXc

So to be clear I understand I'd have to use one Arduino per LED strip (Window in my case). If I create multiple led(1,2,3 etc) config files I can be able to use individual strips that way? Thanks.

Actually the videos posted on YouTube still apply. I got lightshowpi with microweb working with no issues. Thanks.

Anyone plan on making a how to video on the latest version?

Ok. I see. Changed the channel count to 15 and LED count to 49 which equals 735. 735 is about how many pixels I have. No more errors. but the last set and a half of LED strips don't light. Must be the Arduino. Ordered a MEGA. Maybe that will fix the issue.

Using an Arduino UNO. It should be about 87.5. Looking at the Neopixel cheatsheet it seems I may need a Arduino Mega. Maybe that's why it errors out. But the cheatsheet also states an Arduino should be able to control up to 600 pixels. 600/8 = 75 and it still errors out.
Thanks.
8 channels with RGB light strip.
