In this tutorial, you will learn how to install the Scrubs addon on Kodi 20 Nexus. The images used here have been taken from Kodi on Windows 10. But, the method works on all Kodi-supported devices as its interface is the same on all the devices. So if you are using Amazon Fire TV Stick, Android TV Box, or Nvidia Shield, you can go ahead and follow the steps.
What is Scrubs Kodi Addon?
Scrubs is an on-demand Kodi addon. Meaning, it serves movies and TV shows of your choice. Scrubs is a fairly new addon, but I can see it is making its presence felt. It is a fork of the very popular Exodus addon. Therefore, it bears a lot of similarities with its predecessors, not only in appearance but also in function.
Scrubs features a huge media library affording you thousands of hours of viewing time. You name a movie or TV show and you will find it here. Furthermore, the developers make sure that the library is updated regularly. So, if there is a new movie out there or a recently aired episode, be confident that you will soon find it on Scrubs Kodi addon.
Just like the other such addons, Scrubs doesn’t host any content of its own. It is simply an aggregator. But, it makes sure it gets you the quality working streams for the requested video. I like this addon and want to make sure you know it and get the chance to explore it. So, keep reading!
Please note that Scrubs V2 does not work with premium hosters or debrid providers, such as Real Debrid, Premiumize, or All Debrid.
Attention, Kodi Users!
Kodi Addons and builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free movies, TV shows, or sports. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect to a VPN while streaming online. A good Kodi VPN hides your identity, bypasses government surveillance, geo-blocked content, and ISP throttling (which also helps in buffer-free streaming).
I personally use ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon FireStick. You get 3 months free and save 49% on its annual plans. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a refund.
