Crash when deleteLater() QML Video component in Qt 5.12.4-5.13.1, but not in Qt.5.12.3

ChrisTof

I create QML video component from within C++

QQmlComponent component(qmlEngine, QUrl::fromLocalFile("Video.qml"));
QQmlContext* rootItemContext = QQmlEngine::contextForObject(rootWindow);
QQuickItem *video= qobject_cast<QQuickItem*>(component.beginCreate(rootItemContext));
if(video != nullptr) {
   QQmlEngine::setObjectOwnership(video, QQmlEngine::CppOwnership);
   video->setParentItem(rootWindow->contentItem());
   video->setParent(qmlEngine);
   // set video properties...
}
component.completeCreate();

video.qml is simple:

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtMultimedia 5.13

Video {
    id: video

    source: "video.mp4"
    width: 800
    height: 400
    x: 0
    y: 0
    autoPlay: 1
}

I remove the video later:

video->deleteLater();

It works exactly as I expect in Qt 5.12.3. But in Qt 5.13 the application crashes.
I can see in Event Viewer that the problem is with Qt5Muldimedia.dll

I wonder whether the way I remove the video component is wrong or there is a bug in Qt 5.13?
How can I investigate more what really happens there?
I also add that I remove video component when it is playing, but stopping before delete does not change anything.

Run through debugger and take a look at stack trace after the crash

ChrisTof

For some reason I can debug Qt 5.12.3, but when I try to run debug on 5.13 then:

Unable to create a debugging engine.

I have already added 'Debugging Tools for Windows'.

jsulm

@christof And the correct debugger is set in the Kit?

ChrisTof

It wasn't. Got the debugger working.

The image was taken during debugging 5.13.0.
The same code executed under 5.12.3 runs without any error.

ChrisTof

In Qt 5.13.1 the error still persists. Any ideas why that happens?

I'm facing a similar issue but with pure QML code. The application crashes just after removing the QML Component containing the video item. Problem persists both in qt 5.12.4 and qt 5.13.1

g3nx

Furthermore i can confirm that also in my case, the code works properly with qt 5.12.3. It does seem a regression introduced from qt 5.12.4.
@ChrisTof could you confirm that the problem persist in qt 5.12.4 also in your case?

ChrisTof

Yes, I can confirm the problem persists in qt 5.12.4.
