I have tried a lot of different settings and had kind of settled with the thought that it might be the gpio handling that CurlyMo talked about. I also saw that the blacklisting was gone, however I do get the leds to show the colours according to the frame but with the flickering.

I am just using the WS2801 connected directly to the GPIO pins (Data, Clock an GND) and to a separated USB power supply (5V, 2A). Nothing special and no frame grabber.

My rpi 2 is getting its supply from a 5V, 1A PSU. I have just tested it again and I notice no strange behavior during playback from my attached USB hard disk.

Do you also have the flickering when using the android app and controlling your lights?
