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.
