But first..
if you are new to Kodi, you may want to know:
What the heck is a Kodi scraper and why should I care?
When you use a Kodi addon to look for media links, it searches websites on the public internet for media files that match the name of your query. These websites are called scrapers and they are a big part of the magic behind Kodi.
Remember, Kodi addons do not store any content and videos are not found from thin air.
Popular Kodi Scrapers & Latest Update
The most popular updated scrapers on the internet are the Universal Scrapers.
The Universal Scrapers list is what is used by all Jen-based Kodi addons. It is maintained by a list of people in the Kodi community and is the reason why your Jen-based addons all seem to work or not work at the same time.
July 2nd Update: An update to Universal Scrapers, v1.1.8. Various scrapers have been fixed and updated, which means that your Kodi addons will return more links than it did before!
Let’s get back to the goods..

How to Enable/Disable Scrapers
Depending on what addon you use, there are two different spots to adjust scrapers:
- Universal Scrapers Settings (Program Addon)
- Gaia Addon – Gaia has imported both sets of scrapers
To find your scraper settings, you need to head into the video addons (Gaia) or program addons (Universal) section of Kodi.
From your Kodi main menu, click on Add-ons.
Click on the Add-on Bowser gear wheel icon.
Click on My Add-ons
Enter your Program or Video Addons
Next, hover on the addon you want to change and hit the menu (‘c’) button.
Click on Settings
Depending on what addon you just opened, head to the scrapers section as follows:
- Gaia: Scraper Settings > Provider Settings
- Universal Scrapers: Scrapers 1 or 2 Sections
Keep the working Kodi scrapers listed above enabled and disable the rest!
It’s probably not a bad idea to clear your cache and userdata folder. You can find these options in each addon setting as well!
One other thing..
It is a good idea to clear out any old scrapers from your Kodi addons to ensure that the list you configured above is what will be accurate.
To clear out old scrapers:
Launch the Kodi addon you are working with (Gaia, Placenta, or the Universal Scrapers/jen based addon).
Navigate to Tools > Providers
Click the Clear button.
Now you will be good to go!
Still Not Seeing Good Kodi Links?
We noticed that some areas of the world, the United Kingdom in particular, block a lot of the popular Kodi scrapers. That means that no matter what you do, you will NEVER see links returned from these sites.
We did a full guide a while back on scrapers being blocked in the UK.
What can you do in this case?
We highlight recommend a premium Kodi VPN. You will open up your internet, bypass service provider restrictions, and see content from these scrapers again.
