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