I just want to toggle the alternative speeds while Plex is streaming outside my house. I couldn’t find anything while looking around except for some old scripts that haven’t been updated in years.
You could download this: https://github.com/hrap1919/qbc
Set up Tautulli and use the notification agent feature. Set up one notification on “Play start” to call a shell script that uses this command to set the alternative speed limits.
Set up a second agent to listen for “Play stop” and set the condition to be “Streams” equal to zero, so when the last active stream ends you reenable full speed.
Edit: Wait someone else posted this and it seems easier and better documented https://github.com/fabricionaweb/qbit-toggle-speed
Your best bet is to use a Router/Firewall that supports QoS. I have a Mikrotik router that does QoS and routes all traffic from my qBittorrent server through a VPN. It’s a very convenient setup but Mikrotik’s also require at least some networking background. They allow granular control of almost everything and are therefore easy to mess up.
Maybe you just want to set up QoS and prioritise streaming
