Hi,
you should parent your QTimer, and moveToThread afterwards. Then the Timer will
also be moved to the thread, otherwise it remains whereever you created the worker.

Björn.

Yes, this is a FAQ, but I can’t seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. I am
using the worker pattern of QThread, (as opposed to subclassing), running Qt
5.15.2. In my controller’s constructor, I have the following code to
initialize a worker:
worker=newVLCWorker();
worker->moveToThread(&vlcWorkerThread);
worker->initVLC(videoWin);
vlcWorkerThread.start();
The initVLC function, among other things, creates a timer and connects it to a
slot in the worker:
rtspStartTimer=newQTimer;
rtspStartTimer->setSingleShot(true);
connect(rtspStartTimer,&QTimer::timeout,
this,&VLCWorker::rtspStarting);
Later, at some point during program execution, I try to start this timer from
a function in the worker (which itself was triggered by a signal from the main
thread):
qDebug()<<"*****Tryingtostarttimerwhichlivesinthread"<<(long)rtspStartTimer->thread()<<"fromthread"<<(long)this->thread();
rtspStartTimer->start(250);
qDebug()<<"*****Timerattemptcomplete";
Unfortunately, this doesn’t work, giving me the following output:
Debug: 2021-07-18T19:26:12.009 - *****Trying to start timer which lives in
thread 140235980165688 from thread 140235980165688
(../DoorBellCamC/vlccontroller.cpp:121, void VLCWorker::rtspStarting())
Warning: 2021-07-18T19:26:12.009 - QObject::startTimer: Timers cannot be
started from another thread (:0, )
Debug: 2021-07-18T19:26:12.009 - *****Timer attempt complete
(../DoorBellCamC/vlccontroller.cpp:123, void VLCWorker::rtspStarting())
So even though the output of the debug confirms that the timer lives in the
same thread I am trying to call start from, I still get the error about
“timers cannot be started from another thread”. What am I doing wrong?
