Greetings,
I also had a similar issue once using an external library. My solution was
to let the callback emit a signal to a slot in the object using a queued
connection, and in the slot I did the actual processing of the data.
I buffered the data in the callback before emitting the signal, but if the
data can go through the queued connection it can just as well be arguments
in the signal-slot connection.
Doing this resulted in the main thread processing the data, and creating
the objects in the correct thread.
This was valid for me since it was not real time processing of the data,
not sure how much of a delay was introduced due to me doing it that way
though.
Regards,
