How It Works

What's Now Playing monitors all decks and selects the track your audience is actually hearing based on fader positions, crossfader state, and play status.

Troubleshooting

No Devices Found

  • Verify both devices are on the same network
  • Try increasing the Discovery Timeout setting
  • Restart What's Now Playing
  • Check firewall settings

Wrong Track Detected

  • Check deck skip settings
  • Verify fader positions (very low faders are ignored)
  • Try switching between "newest" and "oldest" mix modes

Connection Issues

  • Use wired network connection if possible
  • Update Denon DJ firmware
  • What's Now Playing will automatically reconnect
