Import history not working

I've had this issue for a while on current (6.5.2) and previous versions. I forgot about it until a gig last weekend.

There's other users with this issue on the forum, with no real explanation or solution.

I have created a playlist, exported to USB.
Done the gig.
Plugged the USB into my PC.
'Imported History' pops up automatically.
The 'Histories' playlist is empty.

Rather frustrating.

Windows 10 64-bit.

Thanks

Did you mean Histories on the USB drive or within rekordbox?

Smurf

Hi Pulse

On further investigation, I can see the history on on the USB drive from within Rekordbox.

When I try to 'Import History', it imports a blank playlist into 'Histories' section within Rekordbox.

Also, if I select all the trax from the USB history and select add 'Add to playlist', select a playlist, it does nothing. 

I can't select all the files from the UBS history and drag them into a new playlist either. The little no icon appears :(

Are you trying to import to a computer which did not export the music to that drive?

Smurf

Hi mate

It's the same computer I'm inserting the USB in

Cheers

Wait, are you taking them from the USB history or after it's already been imported to the rekordbox history?

Smurf

Hi dude. 

Here's the full process:

Open RekordBox
Insert USB that was used at a gig.
'Importing Histories' pops up.
In the 'Histories' section within RekordBox, it shows 'HISTORY 2021-07-24' & 'LINK HISTORY 2021-07-24'
 - Both of these are empty.

When I go to the history of the USB, it shows 'HISTORY 003' and the tracks are listed.
If I right click and 'Import History', it appears in Histories within RekordBox with todays date, but is empty.

If I select all tracks in the playlist history for HISTORY 003 on the USB and try and drag them into a new playlist, I get the 'NO' icon popping up, or whatever you call it.
The same happens if I try and drag the 'HISTORY003' into RekordBox.

Hi, any updates on this please ?

I had 3 sets last weekend using USB sticks and I'm having to screen shot the history on the USB stick and manually create a playlist within RB of what I played.

I have spoken to other touring DJ's and they have the exact same issue.

Thanks

Pulse

After playing on what hardware / firmware?

Smurf

All recent gigs have been CDJ2000's, with CDJ900's a few months ago.

I have CDJ2000NXS2 at home and have the same issue.

Thanks
