djctl - new Serato real-time "what's playing" track detection (experimental)

Matt Hite 6:36 PM - 19 January, 2025
Hey there. Just wanted to do a quick plug of something that I've been working on to provide a better real-time "what's playing" track detection solution for live streamers using Serato DJ Pro. Previous solutions typically have tried to scrape public playlists or the local Serato history database to understand what track is currently playing. This is unfortunately prone to delays, false triggers, and other undesired events. In comparison, djctl is real-time and based on track and crossfader positions.

The demo is available for public download here:

Two things of note:

- The Serato DJ track transition works for 2 decks. 4 decks is not supported.
- djctl is a CLI application and you'll need to be comfortable with the command line and editing a configuration file

Happy to help anyone who reaches out to me at support@djctl.com.
