The Adafruit neopixel library does not work well when data is streaming in over WiFi. Since this program makes extensive use of WiFi, it cannot use the Adafruit library. As I recall, it works as long as the pixel sender sends slow updates but fails when the sender send 20-30 frames per second for a string of 64 pixels. Increasing the number of pixels in the string increases the chance of failure.
