Blackmagic Forum

Hey All!
I wouldn't be surprised if this has been requested somewhere previously - if so, consider this a +1!

I love the remote monitoring feature! It's been an awesome addition.
The one thing that has been irritating about it to me is how it always needs to generate a new key every time Resolve closes.

It doesn't seem like a huge deal, but any time I close Resolve (say to go get lunch), I've got to generate a new key, text myself the key, paste, approve myself in Resolve. It's just kind one more step that could be a little more streamlined. It was especially annoying while testing the beta's because crashes would send me back through the loop.

First world problem for sure, but it would be nice to have a way to avoid having to do that. Maybe just a admin mode or something that doesn't need such strict access control?

TLDR;
REQUEST: A permanent key or login solution that would allow me to log back in to remote monitoring on my phone without having to generate a new key each time.

There is a separate forum for Feature Requests.

viewforum.php?f=33

Best practice is to search first, to see if someone already asked. If not, post one idea per thread with a very brief description of the idea in the thread's title.

Hey Jim,
Fair point about the specific feature request forum, but I put it in the general Davinci Forum in hopes that we'd get some dialogue about how other people have been using remote monitoring and if this has been something they have also noticed and desired.

Do you have any personal experience with remote monitoring and the key system that is currently in place?
Would love to hear different thoughts on how it could be improved.

Best,
-Daniel

PS - If a mod would like to move to the feature request category, please do.

This feature is already implemented, there are 2 ways to use remote monitoring, one is to sign in with BMD account which is what you are using as of now, this requires new keys every time & its truly meant for remote monitoring across the glow using internet.

Second method is only meant for local use sitting in same room or same location where both devices are connected to same wifi,
Go to resolve Preferences > General> check Use Remote monitoring without BMD cloud. On phone or iPad you need to change Davinci Remote app settings to "Use without BMD cloud"

No keys required, I use both methods extensively since this feature was made available.

Hope this helps.
