How the Intelligent Throttling Works

How the Intelligent Throttling Works

Seamlessly Connecting Your Media Ecosystem Components

Technical Architecture

  1. Event Detection: Plex webhooks identify remote streaming start/stop events
  2. Workflow Processing: n8n receives the webhook data and determines appropriate action
  3. API Control: The workflow communicates with qBittorrent's WebUI via HTTP requests
  4. Dynamic Adjustment: Download speeds are modified based on streaming activity

Key Implementation Components:

  • Plex webhook configuration (requires Plex Pass)
  • n8n workflow design with conditional logic
  • qBittorrent WebUI access with authentication
  • Simple variable configuration for your specific environment
