Testing The Setup
Make sure that the blue antenna icon in Traktor is not blinking. A steady light means Traktor and Now Playing 2 are connected. Blinking means it's not.
If the antenna is light is steady then try DJing a few tracks. You should see your tracks show up in Now Playing 2 app's main screen. If you do then you're ready to add the graphics to your strem.
Important Notes about Traktor Support
Traktor will save the collection database when you close Traktor. Because Now Playing reads from the database this means you have to quit Traktor to save your database changes, then restart Now Playing before your database changes can be picked up by Now Playing.
If you are using Beatport Link the songs must be in a playlist that is in your collection to get all the metadata.
