[Interest] QVideoProbe Woes

[Jason H]

Ok thanks. I can work with that.

But, I know very little of GL. How would I convert from GL texture ID to say, a QImage or QVideoFrame? I would suspect that the reason that QVideoProbe is so not cross platform is this very reason, would that be true?

I meant it should be added to the doc.

There is another solution that will work everywhere but requires some extra work. You can create a custom QAbstractVideoSurface and you'll get the frames in the present(QVideoFrame) function. From there you can do what you need to do with them, but you will also have to show them on screen yourself. 
Bear in mind that the received QVideoFrames don't always contain actual image data (bits() function) but can instead contain an OpenGL texture ID (handle() function).
