Comment (by stuarta):

 Based on that analysis, that makes me think that we should be using Qt's
 signals
 and slots to signal that up to the UI thread.

 On a side note, when looking at this, I noted that the VAAPI code does a
 check to see if it's actually on the UI thread before doing a
 makeCurrent()

 https://code.mythtv.org/cgit/mythtv/tree/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/videoout_openglvaapi.cpp#n137

 which may be a potential way to identify issues like this.
