Segmentation Fault on 3rd init over TCP connection about rpi-ws2812-server HOT 4 OPEN

It seems to crash when uninitializing a previous setup. Try to call setup and init only once at startup of the program. You can use the -i command line parameter for this.
sudo ./ws2812svr -i "setup 1,150;init;"

Then only use commands to change the leds in node red see if that solves the problem.

This does seem to solve the the segfaults, thanks. I was not aware that both the -i and -tcp parameters would work together.
sudo ./ws2812svr -i "setup 1,150;init;" -tcp 80 works great

However, am I right in assuming that I would not be able to change the number of LEDs that are connected without restarting the server each time they change?

This isn't a huge issue for me, but would mean that I need to update 2 devices (client and server) every time I change the number of LEDs that are connected, instead of just the client.

Thanks for making this awesome thing!

Theoretically it should be possible to do multiple inits but seems like there is a bug in the mailbox.c but this is not my code. So will not be easy to fix I think...

I tried to reproduce this because I was also noticing things hanging/crashing but haven't been able to repro it. I seem to be able to send the setup/init commands with every script/connection. However, I do seem to be having a different issue where the script length may exceed some maximum, for which I'll add a separate issue.
