"Traffic Light" in Rekordbox Not Working?

I was heartened to see that Pioneer had added its "Traffic Light" function to Rekordbox last year. I found it dead handy and came to depend on it almost at once. However, this function no longer appears to work, and I do not think it was due to any software upgrade. The drop-down menu which lets you choose the channel (or the master) you want analysed is still there, but no matter which setting one chooses, none of the track keys turn that comforting green. I have not changed the key on any of my tracks, so that is not an issue. Anyone else having this problem? Any way to fix it?

What mode of rekordbox are you using (performance or export)?

And are you using the MATCHING mode?

I just tested this and noticed the following.

After booting Rekordbox and loading a song into a deck then enabling Traffic Light on Master, matching songs did not light up. When I switched Traffic Light to deck 1 the tracks lit up. When I switched back to Master they didn't light up.

I loaded a new track into the same deck and it got detected right away. Went back to the previous track I loaded and it detected matching songs as well.

Looks like the Traffic Light feature isn't kicking in right away.

Yes, repeating your suggestion, I see that giving the Traffic Light a second or third click one you load a track pokes the system into life. Silly me for not persevering and trying all the options. You have my thanks.

BTW, I was running Performance mode, and I rarely use the Beat Matching mode. (I liken it to training wheels for a child's bicycle...)

Thanks again!

Have you tested this on 5.4.3?

No, I haven't upgraded to 5.4.3 yet. It's on my list for this weekend. I'll let you know.

I have upgraded to 5.4.3, and there was no difference with the key Traffic Light. If one is playing a track on Channel One, and Channel One is selected in the Traffic Light pull-down menu, one still has to click the menu to toggle on-and-off the in-key light feature. And the problem described by Ves above still persists. Irritating, but not insurmountable.

I have 5.5.0 and having the same issue.

For a moment I thought it worked fine on 5.5 but the behaviour is still finicky.

It might takes 1-2 seconds to kick in. Or when I change a track.

I was having the same traffic light issue and was selecting master/deck/deck2 drop down and still nothing worked. Then I realized you have to click on the "master" button itself to toggle the traffic light feature on/off. This may help some people as it worked for me.
