A simple example:
- Start Davinci Resolve Studio, open a project and select a timeline
- Open a Command Prompt/Terminal and type:
drremote -m gettimeline -o out.txt
If successful you find the gathered information in file out.txt in your current directory:
Success
project=Snippets
timeline=2021-12-10-First Snow
