Is there a way to limit qBitTorrent only while Plex is streaming? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

For code, being old is not always bad. Take for example some Unix commands, like copying files between servers using the ssh protocol. That hasn't changed in 50 or more years. So, if there're API endpoints in both apps, setting a cronjob would let you monitor every minute if you're streaming, and then do the switch. Or, even better, you may be able to have a hook/ trigger design pattern. Can you link to the scripts? Have you tested them at all?

I've not tested anything. I only just glanced around at what was available and was surprised it isn't as popular as I thought it would be.
