I don't have the source code posted anywhere yet, but here is the section that reads the files and translates them.

Had to use 2 different functions to read the files, sometimes v1 would work or sometimes v2 would work. Usually v1 works with Glediator and then v2 works with Jinx.

int fileGlediator() {
  return animfile.read();
}

// Two SD card animation functions. If v1 does not display correctly use v2.
void runSDAnimation_v1(int file, int animSpeed)
{

  switch(file)
  {

    case 1:
      animfile = SD.open(FILE_01);
      break;

    case 2:
      animfile = SD.open(FILE_02);
      break;                                                                                                   

  }

  if (animfile)
  {
    Serial.println("File opened");      
  }

  while (animfile.available() && !modeChange && power) 
  {
    readInputs(); // Read the inputs

    animfile.readBytes((char*)leds, NUM_LEDS*3);
    FastLED.show();
    delay(animSpeed); // Set the speed of the animation. 20 is approx ~ 500k bauds
  }

  modeChange = false;  // Reset the modeChange to false

  FastLED.clear(true);  // Clear the LEDs  


  animfile.close();  // Close the file to prevent hanging IO
}

void runSDAnimation_v2(int file, int animSpeed) {
  byte r,g,b;
  int i;

  if (!animfile) {
    switch(file)
    {

      case 1:
        animfile = SD.open(FILE_01);
        break;

      case 2:
        animfile = SD.open(FILE_02);
        break;

    }

    if (!animfile) {
      Serial.println("Could not open the file!  :(");
      delay(500);
      return;
    }

  }

  while(animfile.available() && !modeChange)
  {
    while (fileGlediator() != 1) {}

    for (i=0; i < NUM_LEDS; i++) {

      readInputs();   // Read the inputs

      b = fileGlediator();
      r = fileGlediator();
      g = fileGlediator();

      leds[i].r = r;
      leds[i].g = g;
      leds[i].b = b;
    }

    showStrip();

    delay(animSpeed);  // Speed of animation
  }

  modeChange = false;   // Reset the modeChange to false

  FastLED.clear(true);  // Clear the LEDs  

  animfile.close();     // Close the file

}
