How well does it work on this NAS? I am thinking about trying this out.
for me, it’s working great however the download speed is limited to +-6MBps.
Do you happen to know if this version of Sickbeard gets updated?
I know the install I have on my iMac I can update via the web UI, but this version I installed on my NAS doesn’t have that option.
Is there a way to check and update?
you can try to manually replace the files with the updated version on your “Downloads” share, the folder should be visible if you enable “show hidden files” in windows.
Hi,
The newest SickBeard requires Cheetah to run.
Any idea how to install this module on Lenovo?
hi, I reverted my ix4-300d to stock firmware, I remember having difficulties getting python 3 to fully work and I eventually gave up. I needed this for the latest version of sabnzbd. I’m sorry but I cannot help you. alternatively you could use a raspberry pi which is optimized for services like this. Also, there’s a risk of bricking your ix4 thus I highly recommend going with a 35$ raspberry pi instead. plenty of guides available for the pi.
