Does the Rekordbox App work with XDJ RX?
So I have the Rekordbox app on my iPhone and if I plug it in via USB cable to a CDJ 2000 nxs it works fine. I've just purchased the XDJ RX and tried the same thing and the only way it wants to connect is via wifi. I dont rely on this feature but I usual have back up music on my phone should I ever need it. Obviously as it stands I can't use this feature with my new player but would like to. Everything is up to date, latest firmware on XDJ RX and latest software on iPhone.

I believe the RX only connects to the rekordbox app via the network (wirelessly) and USB connectivity is not available.
Will USB connection be available with a future firmware update? I purchased the RX for the odd gig that doesn't have a nexus set up and i'd rather take my iPhone with the Rekordbox app than my laptop to these gigs. Setting up a wireless router is not an option really.
@Martyn > I can't confirm that at this point, not having an RX here to test or knowing if that is a planned feature in future. I'll ask and see what kind of answer I can get, but I'm expecting it to be "wireless only."
It should work okay, tested it in Dawsons a few months ago when the unit was first released. Connected okay in Feb via App and RB on a Iphone 6
Worked okay via USB
@Martyn > I've confirmed with the engineers that it will indeed work with the USB cable when using version 1.3 of the app:

There is a video on usage here:

Yeah, I did exactly that and it wouldn't connect. Said it was looking via wifi as soon as I hit the load icon. I will triple check through everything again but i'm pretty certain everything is up to date.
Give it a check and let me know.
@Martyn > The engineers have offered this as a follow-up:
It could be a problem with the authentication chip in the RX if it doesn't get recognized by the RX when connected via USB.
@Martyn > Requesting a follow-up on the above.
Apologises - yes it was down to the cable. Have to make sure it is authentic other wise its not recognised at all
Awesome - glad to hear switching cables got it to work, I'll let the engineers know!
