System tray icon that turns blue when Resolve is running and grey when idle

Requirements

Windows 10 or later
DaVinci Resolve 18 or later (free or Studio edition)
Discord desktop app running

Installation

Download the latest DaVinciResolveRPC-Setup.exe from the Releases page.
Run the installer and follow the wizard.
Optionally enable "Start automatically when Windows starts" during setup.
Launch DaVinci Resolve, open a project, and check your Discord status.

How It Works

The application polls DaVinci Resolve every 20 seconds via the official Blackmagic Design Scripting API. When Resolve is detected it establishes a Discord Rich Presence connection and updates your status with:

Details — current project name (e.g. Project: My Film)
State — active timeline name (e.g. Timeline: Assembly Cut)
Elapsed time — resets each time you switch projects

When Resolve is closed the presence is cleared automatically.

Building From Source

Prerequisites

Python 3.14+
Inno Setup 7 (for the installer)

Steps

git clone https://github.com/elpideus/DavinciResolveRPC.git
cd DavinciResolveRPC
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate
build.bat

This produces dist\DaVinciResolveRPC.exe. To create the installer, compile installer.iss with Inno Setup:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 7\ISCC.exe" installer.iss

The installer appears in installer_output\DaVinciResolveRPC-Setup.exe.
