How to use QMediaPlayer not in the main thread?

maximmalofeev

I'm try to use QMediaPlayer with my own VideoSurface derived from QAbstractVideoSurface and want to execute QAbstractVideoSurface::present not in the main thread, cose it could take a lot of time. For this i try to do:

mediaPlayer = new QMediaPlayer;
mediaPlaylist = new QMediaPlaylist(mediaPlayer);
auto avi1 = QUrl::fromLocalFile(QDir::currentPath() + "/debug/1.avi");
mediaPlaylist->addMedia(QMediaContent(avi1));
mediaPlayer->setPlaylist(mediaPlaylist);
videoSurface = new VideoSurface(mediaPlayer);
mediaPlayer->setVideoOutput(videoSurface);
mediaPlayer->moveToThread(&workerThread);
workerThread.start();

but QAbstractVideoSurface::present of videoSurface object still processes in the main thread. What do I wrong? How to resolve this issue (of course if it's possible:) )?
