Replacing the rpi_ws281x library

Hello people,

Here is the background info:

I am running the latest version of Hyperion (2.0.15) on my revision a020d4 Pi 3B+ with a WS2812B strip and I get the error Device disabled, device 'ws281x' signals error: 'Failed to open. Error message: Hardware revision is not supported'

As far as I understand Hyperion is using the rpi_ws281x library for ws281x strips. This library supports revision a020d4 Pi 3B+s since this commit in april. Ive compiled the rpi_ws281x master myself and it seems to work fine using the test program that thing spits out upon compilation.

Now the actual question:

Can I just overwrite the version Hyperion is using with the version I compiled myself? If yes, how would I go about doing that?

Regards,
someone who doesnt really know how libs work

Oops, didnt mean to delete my previous thank you post
So thanks for the info, the nightly build works great
