Well, not that I would notice much of it, but using Mono as a development tool on a QNAP is a little nuts. Then again, keep in mind that these folks do not develop this as a day time job, so we should allow them some “life” outside of Sonarr, SickBear or SickRage as well. Unlike my experiences with SickBeard and SickRage. This is what I have experienced and heard all over the Internet: Support by the dev team of Sonarr is just great and fast.
Migrating from SickBeard ( SB) or SickRage ( SR) is relatively easy, every now and then I will make comments in the article for those who migrate.įirst of all, all 3 of these applications do a marvelous job!Īnd when I talk about the pro’s and con’s, then please keep in mind that a lot of these aspects are based on personal preference! (as far as I know!)Īnyhow: you’ll need an Intel CPU based QNAP. It’s unfortunate that QNAP still manufactures AMR based NAS devices, too often these users are left out in the cold with zero support for some of these great tools. In this article we only focus on a QNAP NAS installation, and since one of the packages appears to be Intel dependent (Mono), this will only work on an Intel CPU based QNAP. It’s just my opinion, but if you’re a Plex user … give Kodi a spin, you might like it better and it’s free. Note: Sonarr is not able to retrieve subtitles. Typically, but not required, you’d use an application like Kodi or Plex to playback those downloaded episodes. It can retrieve episodes from Usenet NZB’s or Torrents, names them properly, adds the appropriate information, thumbnails, etc, and renames and organizes your files as well. You could see it as your personal super PVR.
#SONARR BACKUP TV#
The sole intend of Sonarr is to download episodes of your favorite TV series, fully automatically. In this article I assume you have one, or both of these, already installed.
#SONARR BACKUP TORRENT#
If you decide to use Torrents (not recommended), then make sure to have a Torrent Download Manager installed on your QNAP, like for example Transmission. On a QNAP I can HIGHLY recommend NZBGet, but SABNZBD will work as well. Sonarr does not download your TV shows for you, it needs a download manager of some sorts for that. Sonarr needs a Download Manager/Client!!!

Verify what the legal limitations are in your country before proceeding! In this article I’ll show you why I like Sonarr better and how to install it on your QNAP NAS. I’ll admit, it took me a long time to give that one a try, and I have to say … I’m regretting having not done this earlier, it looks and works pretty slick. Don’t get me wrong though: SickBeard and SickRage are great! I just favor Sonarr a little bit more at this moment. Over time another alternative appeared: Sonarr, also know as NZBDrone. After that, I tried SickRage, which is a fork of SickBeard, but offers just a few of those nifty little additional features SickBeard was lacking, making it even better (and that’s just my opinion). I have played with SickBeard, which works very well. Tools like Sonarr have always fascinated me – it’s a good indicator that our way of watching TV has changed from fixed schedule to on demand, or: watch what we want, when we want.
