[request] "Duplicate source"

See original GitHub issue

I’m transporting my code that used obs-websockets-py to an OBS script. Now, every request that I did with websockets, I have to do it with Python. This cheatsheet is very usefull for me! Now, I have to transport this simple code:

ws.call(requests.DuplicateSceneItem(item, fromScene=fromScene, toScene=toScene))

But I think it is not that simple to do it as script. Can you give me a hand? Also, it would be great if there was both options: “Reference” and “Duplicate” 😁.

I use to duplicate items from/to scenes that are/aren’t in focus. Why did you bold “if selected scene is not in focus”? What happens if I duplicate to current scene?

I’ve used source from current scene which was not present in selected scene to “Duplicate source”. If there is no source with name from script properties UI present in current_scene it might crash on repetitive clicks.

How to make a reference?

In OBS Studio code linked above it’s done doing this:

obs_source_t *source = obs_get_source_by_name(name);

You might try using duplicate to get a reference duplicate = obs.obs_sceneitem_get_source(scene_item) And later change this line: scene_item2 = obs.obs_scene_add(scene, duplicate)
