But the QTimer had no parent. From the OP:

rtspStartTimer=new QTimer;
rtspStartTimer->setSingleShot(true);
connect(rtspStartTimer, &QTimer::timeout,
        this, &VLCWorker::rtspStarting);

That means this QTimer wasn't moved and therefore was firing on the thread 
that created the object. Whichever that was.
