  2. 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.
