## Common questions

### Where should I report bugs or request features for SickChill?

Use the SickChill Discord for issue tracking, feature requests, support, and developer communication. Creating issues on GitHub has been deprecated.

### Do I need API access between SickChill and Deluge when using a blackhole folder?

If Deluge simply watches a blackhole folder for new torrents, there is no API access between the apps. If you see API authentication errors, the likely place to check is the search provider.

### Which season ordering options does SickChill support?

It supports TheTVDB season orders including aired/default, DVD, absolute, and platform/alternate orders.

### Does SickChill generate NFO and TBN files for Kodi or XBMC?

Yes, it can perform Kodi/XBMC library updates, download posters/banners/fanart, and generate NFO/TBN files.
