When using my personal FastLED program on ESP8266, the first LED constantly flashes green; but it works perfectly with WLED. How has WLED solved the issue?

• platformio

  1 0 5.8 C

  init

However, when I load up my own code using FastLED, the first LED constantly flashes bright green even as it shows other colors for my patterns.

• esp8266_ws2812_i2s

  1 71 10.0 C++

  ESP8266 Library for driving WS2812 led-strip using the I2S output. Use within the Arduino IDE

But, if you do want to use ESP8266, this library works. You can still use FastLED to calculate the effects, and then just output to the LEDs with esp8266_ws2812_i2s -- that works, and is rock solid. However, one caveat: Maximum 341 LEDs, no more, due to ESP8266 DMA hardware limitations.

Changing the order of libraries didn't change anything. BUT with that in mind, I tried disabling one of the libraries I wasn't using at the moment: AppleMIDI. The flashing mostly stopped. It flashed for a few times in the beginning, and then stopped almost completely.
