Just throwing out a question. Could it be your tone arm, cartridge, or turntable settings?
Serato and Traktor works perfectly with the hardware I currently have. It's ultimately a software issue but a few people have found workarounds... at this level workarounds are unacceptable. SO DEVS NEED TO SHOW US SOME LOVE NOW!

Yes - that this the thing - I don't know about tractor - but with serato - have used different needles and had the counter weight super heavy, light & just at the manufactures recommended settings - and the software is always on point with various TT configurations. I never had to jump to hops to get it to work right.

FOR DEVS AND ALL TIME CODE USERS
I have narrowed down the problems of the time code.... all or most my problems are now solved, no sticker drift or skipping... this is what I did...
This method solved my problems using CDJ but should work for vinyl users as the problems were the same when using CDJ in vinyl mode
VDJ has 2 time code CDs, 1. Consumer grade and the other is Pro Grade. When using the Pro Grade I experienced skips and jumps, lead in problems but when using the consumer grade the software worked great.
The consumer grade is equivalent to the older time code vinyl which seems to be the only time code that works without bugs, if I used Serato time code I experienced random pitch ranges just like using the pro grade.
My advice to all is use the OLD VDJ VINYL if using turntables or use the CONSUMER GRADE if using CDJs.... the software doesn't function properly when using anything else.
DO NOT USE SERATO, NUMARK VINYL!!
Conclusion: the software has a bug in tracking time code signal especially the ones listed above

this might be true...but old vjd time code works best...vdj is not decoding noise map properly....I'm glad Sera to vinyl doesn't work..rather use vdj timecode..and rep the use of vdj..forget anything serato

Arrrrhhhhhh!!!!
You fellas let me down with your testing.. I tested for myself.
DEV TEAM- Please disregard any reports of of timecode drifting been resolved for serato vinyl.
ScratchFitherQuality set to 22 - does not fix the issue
ScratchFitherQuality set to 100 - does not fix the issue
The above setting masks the problem a bit - but if you really test properly - the issues are still there.

oh yea my lead-in is 10.000000

You to need to expand your testing - your current testing does not mean that the sticker drift is gone - it could be - but I am not convinced.
I can do the the exact same thing with serato vinyl now - and it works the same way like you have in the video - good right - yes - but it is deceiving. Does that mean I don't have sticker drift - nope.
When you get a chance - speed up your scratches a bit and just pull the record back and forth quicker - get crazy with it a bit without letting the needle jump.
Let me know if it is still the same.
