[PyQt] QMovie start/stop from a different thread

[tom]

Hello,

i create a QMovie in the main thread :

        self.movie = QMovie("images\whitephone-animation.mng", QByteArray(),
self)
        self.movie.setCacheMode(QMovie.CacheAll)
        self.movie.setSpeed(100)
        self.movie_canvas.setMovie(self.movie)

but then want to start/stop it from a different thread but receive a :

QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.
(Parent is Menu(0x1183680), parent's thread is QThread(0x117dd58), current
threa
d is QThread(0x3de3e88)

error.

can i call the start / stop slots from within that different thread, and how
would i do that ?

thanks,
tom
