Grabber Feeds
What This Page Does
This page lets you create and manage feeds that import videos from external tube sites into your content library. You can set up keyword-based search feeds that find videos matching specific terms, or direct URL feeds that grab content from specific pages. Each feed can be assigned a category, linked to a performer, and configured with its own import limits.

Cam and Live Platforms

Custom
You can also enter custom source addresses for sites not in the predefined list.
How Feeds Work
When a feed runs (either manually or automatically):
- The system visits the source site and searches for your keyword or loads your direct URL.
- It finds videos on the results page and extracts their details (title, thumbnail, duration, embed code).
- It checks each video against your existing library to avoid duplicates.
- New videos are imported with the status, category, and performer you specified.
- If detail enrichment is enabled in Grabber Settings, the system visits each video's page for additional information.
- The feed's statistics are updated with the results.
Tips for New Users
- Name your feeds descriptively. When you have many feeds, clear names like "Blonde MILF - XVideos" are much easier to manage than "Feed 1" or "Test."
- Use categories. Assigning a category to each feed keeps your imported content organized automatically.
- Check results regularly. Review the Last Grab Count and Total Grabbed columns to see which feeds are producing good results and which ones need adjusting.
- Disable underperforming feeds. If a feed consistently imports zero videos or irrelevant content, disable it rather than deleting it. You can re-enable it later after adjusting the keywords.
- Spread your sources. Use feeds from multiple sites to build a diverse content library.
Troubleshooting
Feed returns zero results
What you see: A feed runs but the Last Grab Count shows zero.
How to fix it:
- Check that the source site is still online and accessible.
- Try visiting the source site in your browser and searching for the same keyword to see if results exist.
- The source site may have changed its layout, which can break the grabber. Check the Feed Sources guide for the current status of each site.
- If the problem persists, try creating a new feed for the same site with a different keyword.
Duplicate videos are being imported
What you see: The same video appears multiple times in your library.
How to fix it:
- The duplicate detection system checks embed codes, source addresses, and title-plus-site combinations. If none of these match exactly, the system treats a video as new.
- Review your feeds to make sure you do not have multiple feeds targeting the same content with slightly different keywords.
- You can remove duplicate videos from the Video Management page.
Feed status will not toggle
What you see: You click the Toggle button but the feed stays in the same state.
How to fix it:
- Check if your site is in demo mode (look for an orange banner at the top).
- Try refreshing the page and attempting the toggle again.
- If the problem continues, try editing the feed and changing the Is Active checkbox directly.
The page shows "Demo Mode"
What you see: An orange banner at the top says the page is in demonstration mode.
How to fix it:
This means all changes are blocked. Contact your administrator to disable demo mode.
