Error creating video: QGLContext::makeCurrent(): Failed.

[Anton Gladky]

When I use simple-scene-video.py
I get:
     QGLContext::makeCurrent(): Failed.
a lot of times
Video file creates, but the picture is static.

Looks like hardware issue. I was ocasionally getting that as well, but most the time it worked. What is your card/driver (try lspci)?

Confirming, happens here (ATI 4850) as well. Most likely asking the GLViewer to saveSnapshot from different thread. It will need some more thoughtful solution, like running the display in sync and saving snapshots after each step.

Can you check with r1901? scripts/simple-scene-video.py works here now.

[Anton Gladky (gladky-anton)]

It works good for me now. No problem.

Sure, we can close the bug.
