   The OpenGL rendering in PyQt6 appears broken when trying to use it with mpv, and PyQt6 doesn't support the new QQuickRhiItem / Rhi methods. ... kinda debating if I should just migrate the entire project from PyQt6 to PySide6 :agummythink:

     Huh, the example I found is for QQuick/qml, but my applications is traditional QWidgets. It doesn't look like using QQuickItems inside a QWidget is supported. There is a QOpenGLFrameBufferObject but it doesn't look at all like the QQuickFramebufferObject. No createRenderer function.

     Well, it's time to go over to StackOverflow:
     
     https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79693305/how-do-i-use-python-mpv-with-pyslide6-using-gl-rendering-for-wayland
     
     Let's see if this toxic shit site actually has someone who can give me a real solution to a real problem.

     Why? Why is there already a -1? No comment, just a -1. There is a fucking complete question there.

     The LLMs are good at known solutions. I don't think anyone has published an actual solution to this problem (that I can find). I don't have any LLM subscriptions right now, but I'm almost certain it will give me non-working trash or something that says "Insert your GL framebuffer implementation here." I could use one of the local models that runs on my 3080-Ti via Ollama (and IntelliJ plugins), but that answer would probably be worse than useless.

     @djsumdog May very well be a bug, they shouldn't have axed their GL support still.
     
     As for stackoverflow, don't hold your breath, the site is botted and a shadow of its former self
     
     You could use an AI though (That's what the cool kids do :airismile: )

     The examples I found do work on my i3/X11 box and my KDE/Wayland box. The trouble is, the example is for QQuick and my existing application is made for traditional QWidgets. I can't figure out how to get mpv to render with a QOpenGLWidget (as opposed to a QQuickFramebufferObject).

     @djsumdog Don't forget to check if you install the new Wayland module for qt6. Had applications not launching because the qt5 equivalent doesn't work even with qt6-qt5compat (Or whatever that package is named) installed

     The question says X11 and Wayland. My app works fine on X11. I do need it to work on Wayland so other people actually use it. Also, switching from X Window Handles to OpenGL or Vulkan will benefit it on X11 as well.

     So I did find a solution to this. I didn't update the question with an answer because fuck Stack Overflow. Now I just have two remaining issues.

     1. I can't send mouse clicks to the on-screen-controls in MPV. I'm not sure if this is even possible. I haven't gotten any responses in #mpv on IRC. I opened an SO question, but doubt anyone will look at it seriously:

     https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79697620/is-it-possible-to-send-mouse-events-clicks-to-the-on-screen-controls-osc-in-an

     1. Fullscreening the QOpenGLWidget that's rendering the mpv video gives me a black screen. I can use other Python/Qt OpenGL examples and they fullscreen fine, so something weird is going on with the GL rendering context for MPV. I have so little 3D background I don't know where to start with this. I might have to break down and start using Microsoft™ Github again, because that's the only place where OSS like mpv and python-mpv have any support forums.

     Finally broke down and asked on the official forums after I couldn't get any help on IRC. I hate that no one has a fucking mailing list any more and we're all reduced to using Microsoft Github. The open source devs of the 1990s would be appalled.

     Well, all my OpenGL issues were due to not enabling shared OpenGL contexts.

     QApplication.setAttribute(Qt.ApplicationAttribute.AA_ShareOpenGLContexts)

     Without that, you can move a Qt OpenGL widget between different windows/layouts. No A.I. or search could point that out. That required going through the documentation.
