WS2812B Controlling with IR Remote

I currently have problems with controlling 120 Leds with FastLed. I wanr to use patterns and sequences.
Because of the constant overwriting, and therefore misreads of the IR values, I am using two Arduino Nanos communicating via Wire.h.

I havo no problems evaluating the IR signal, but I can't interrupt running sequences. I've tried using millis() instead of delay, but it won't work.

Is there a better way of controlling Leds with an IR Remote?

I've tried using millis() instead of delay, but it won't work.

It depends on how you use millis(). You need to write your code as a state machine then it can be interrupted at any time.

LED code has delays in it?
Fast led needs to time incoming bits.
