Is There a way to create group item?

[FaNim21]

Hi i would like to create groups in scene via api and i can't find a way in your obsclient for that, but found that there is group functions in obs api https://docs.obsproject.com/reference-scenes#scene-item-group-functions So iam missing something in current functions to create the group or there is no option to do that?

In OBS, Groups are Scenes and the websockets side of OBS Studio treats them as such. For example, here: GetGroupList So perhaps you can make this work using normal scenes. I just implement the methods available through the websockets interface, not the internal OBS Studio API you are referencing.

Oh okay so i was looking at wrong things, but then how do i convert a scene to a group in other scene? i can't see any references to that

You should use Nested Scenes instead of Group as per documentation: "Using groups at all in OBS is discouraged, as they are very broken under the hood. Please use nested scenes instead."

Okay then i know everything now thank you and by the way iam getting timeouts on CreateScene and only using that method

System.TimeoutException: „Timeout waiting for OBS Studio response to request 6404f546-9688-4f61-b1be-26f0757aa8c6.”

I will check into that...

Calling CreateScene seems to work fine for me. (Using the provided sample app.)

I found the issue with this. If you don't set RequestTimeout then CreateScene throws "Timeout waiting...". In sample app you have that on 5000

And i found that SceneItemListReindexed on trigger in SceneItemListReindexedEventArgs gives null for inputKind, isGroup, sceneItemTransform and sourceName in all items in SceneItems
