SickBeard appears to be stale, and the replacement options for it are Sonarr[0] and SickRage[1]. There is also Headphones[2] - similar to CouchPotato and SickBeard/Rage/Sonarr but for music.

  Oh wow. I've been out of it a while (just use Hulu / Netflix / Prime these days). I'll have to check these out. Headphones I used before but it wasn't very reliable at the time.

    That's a common refrain I hear about Headphones - buggy and not really reliable.

  Yep, although SickRage's website is truly awful the software is a great upgrade from Sickbeard. Sonarr I have tried several times and it bugged out every time.

    Not sure when the last time you tried it was, but it's been a ton more stable within the last 6 months when on the latest stable mono version.

      mono has really been source of many of our issues on non-windows platforms, hopefully we can switch to .NET Core soon and have a more multiplatform runtime.

      Last tried it about 2 months ago from memory, very buggy then.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the founders of sonarr, Sickbeard is an abandoned project, last commit was ~ year ago. there are multiple fork of Sickbeard, (Sickrage is big one but has had some internal drama), obviously I would recommend Sonarr :p

  Love me some Sonarr. Great work.

  I dropped Sickbeard/SickRage for Sonarr a few months ago. I'm very happy with the change. Especially with the better support for torrents and easier to use UI. Thanks for all your hard work on the project!
  - kayone 11y ago
    Thanks, that's generally the feedback we get, when people switch they are generally very happy, but I guess that might just be the feedback loop.

  Is there a way to make Sonarr work with a single download folder? Sickbeard also did not officially support it, but you were able to make it work with enough configuration and scripts. That's the only reason I still use it. I just have two big folders (watched and unwatched) and a hotkey to move stuff between them. It's simple and I don't need to use a mouse. I wouldn't want to give this up.

    Copying another reply: Sonarr supports as many root folders as you want, the only restrictions is that a single show is limited to a single folder, so tvs1/show1 and tvs2/show2 is completely valid, but watched/show1 and unwatched/show1 is not.
