Issue: Mac OS: other widget cannot show when use SDL_CreateWindowFrom() to bind a widget

[Figo88]

hi all:

I am using QT 5.15.16 + SDL 2.30.10 for testing, right now I create 2 widgets, one widget call video widget use to display YUV data, other widget call control widget which has some PushButtons.

on the video widget, use SDL_CreateWindowFrom() to bind this widget, and want to show YUV data via SDL_RenderCopy/SDL_RenderPresent API.

when render it on macOS, the control widget desn't work, it just show black. what is problem? is it the known issue on QT?
this code can work fine on Windows + Ubuntu.

here is the code:

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

#include <thread>
#include <QTimer>
#include <QDebug>

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);

    window = nullptr;
    render = nullptr;

    window= SDL_CreateWindowFrom((void *)ui->video->winId());
    render = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED);

    QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
    connect(timer, &QTimer::timeout, this, &MainWindow::renderYUV);
    timer->start(1000 / 30);

}

void MainWindow::renderYUV()
{
    SDL_Rect rect = {};

    width = ui->video->width();
    height = ui->video->height();

    qDebug() << "w :" << width << " h:" << height;

    yPlane = new uint8_t[width * height]; // Y plane
    uPlane = new uint8_t[width * height / 4]; // U plane
    vPlane = new uint8_t[width * height / 4]; // V plane

    // fill YUV data
    for (int i = 0; i < width * height; ++i) {
        yPlane[i] = 128; // Y
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < width * height / 4; ++i) {
        uPlane[i] = 128; // U
        vPlane[i] = 128; // V
    }


    SDL_Texture *texture = SDL_CreateTexture(render, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_YV12, SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING, width, height);
    if (!texture) {
        qDebug() << "Failed to create texture: " << SDL_GetError();
        return;
    }


    SDL_UpdateTexture(texture, nullptr, yPlane, width);


    SDL_RenderClear(render);

    rect.x = 0;
    rect.y = 0;
    rect.w = ui->video->width();
    rect.h = ui->video->height();

    qDebug() << "display rect x " << rect.x << " y " << rect.y << " w " << rect.w  << " h " << rect.h;


    SDL_RenderCopy(render, texture, nullptr,  &rect);


    SDL_RenderPresent(render);


    SDL_DestroyTexture(texture);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Which version of macOS ?
How did you install that version of Qt ?
How did you install SDL ?
Do you have any message on the terminal when your application runs ?

[Figo88]

the version os Macos : 15.1.1 on M2 CPU
the QT version is 5.15.16, I built the QT from source code. like below command:
./configure -prefix /Users/figo/opt/qt5.15 -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip purchasing -skip serialbus -skip qtserialport -skip speech -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -no-freetype -qt-harfbuzz -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwebview -skip qtwebchannel QMAKE_APPLE_DEVICE_ARCHS="arm64" -skip qtlocation

The SDL version is 2.30.10, installed by this command: brew install SDL2.

here is the log, but I cannot see any error log:
