Sickbeard Alternative?

Rensin · 24 Feb 2016 at 19:08

Hi,

Can anyone reommend an alternative to Sickbeard? ... have had SB running great for the past few years but can not seem to get the post processing to work. Keep getting an erro to check the log file but no errors are showing.

cheers.

Sickrage?

Begbie · 24 Feb 2016 at 19:41

couchpotato not sure how well it works for TV shows though...

Sonarr. I've been using it for ages now. Set it up and forgot about it. It just works and works very well indeed.

cheers guys, will check them out tomorrow.

What are they both like at post processing over 2 drives?

SB is not really developed anymore. Sonarr is my go to one now.

You can home a series on a drive, so it should just go where you home it, I'd imagine it's fine although I haven't done it (NAS = one unified drive)

I don't do any post processing myself but from looking at the available options I can't see it being an issue.

I recently ditched Sickbeard for Sonarr and find it to be brilliant.

Another vote for Sonarr.

Yeah Sonarr is much better than Sickbeard. It's a nightmare trying to get your media back into Sonarr and recognised though. Half my stuff shows as being missing despite being in their respective folders.

cheers guys, will take a look at sonarr over the weekend.

Been using sonarr for a while now. Very good.

My SickBeard works fine - what advantages does Sonarr have over it?

Azza · 28 Feb 2016 at 03:09

Sonarr for me.

Retrying failed downloads was the big thing for me

Sonarr all day, as mentioned retrying failed downloads and actually seems to just be a lot more reliable in picking up programs after they've aired.

How easy is it to migrate from sickbeard to sonarr?

Also, what is the torrent handling like in sonarr?

Sonarr.

Just did it and took me about 20 mins to import all the previous media and set up all the other info. Very straightforward!
