Flexget vs Couch Potato and Sick Beard

[naverave]

Hello guys,

so I have configured both options and am wondering if the lite nature of flexget trumps couch potato and sick beard. I cannot use trakt.tv with couch potato. It doesn't work consistently. Plus its always coming up with errors. Sickbeard is just not really fast enough and isn't working out for me. It seems to me flexget is the best option for long term use but making a polished and functional config file for it is hell of a task. On the other hand the GUI interface for the other two packages make life easier.

So my question is can I achieve a reasonable and functional solution with couchpotato and sickbeard or is it too much work for the pi while running xbmc? Also I would like to use maraschino if cp and beard work like they should.

I already have formatted a partition in my external hdd to ext4 for a smoother experience.

Just wondering about what your experiences are like when working out an automation process for downloading media.

Thanks for answering.
