About:
Sickchill is an automatic video library manager for TV shows that automates the process of downloading, organizing, and renaming media files. It monitors preferred TV shows for new episodes and automatically fetches them from Usenet and BitTorrent providers. The tool integrates with media centers to provide a seamless automated download-to-playback experience.
Key Features:
  • Automatic episode searching and downloading
  • Smart file renaming and organization
  • Support for Usenet and BitTorrent providers
  • Post-processing with metadata extraction
  • Integration with Kodi, Plex, and Emby
Use Cases:
  • Automating TV show downloads for home media servers
  • Organizing existing media libraries with consistent naming
  • Monitoring RSS feeds for automatic episode acquisition
Alternatives:
  • Sonarr – More actively maintained but requires separate Radarr instance for movies
  • FlexGet – More flexible but less TV-show specific automation
