Use Cases
- Automatically manage media playback actions in Plex based on user commands.
- Integrate with qBittorrent to control download speeds and throttle settings.
- Ensure optimal media streaming experience by automating bandwidth management.
How It Works
Webhook receives media control commands from Plex. Switch node directs the flow based on the command type (play, pause, resume, stop). Check local status to determine if actions should be executed. HTTP requests interact with qBittorrent to manage throttle settings. Conditional checks ensure appropriate actions are taken based on current throttle state.
Setup Steps
- 1Import the Plex Automatic Throttler workflow into n8n.
- 2Configure the webhook URL to receive commands from Plex.
- 3Set up global variables for qBittorrent connection details.
- 4Test the webhook with sample payloads to ensure proper functionality.
- 5Adjust throttle settings as needed based on personal preferences.
