ERROR Message: “Couldn’t find monitor data”
My application uses SDL2 to create a window for rendering video. The window disappears after I switch from windowed mode to fullscreen with calling SDL_SetWindowFullscreen and SDL_GetError() prints “Couldn’t find monitor data”. The error ALWAYS and ONLY occurs when I change the status of my monitors like turn-on and turn-off or switching from multi displays to single display.
The ERROR message is found in SDL_windowsmode.c when SDL tries to call System API GetMonitorInfo().
It seems SDL2 is not able to handle with the situation where the state of a physical monitor is changed(e.g. turn on/turn off or extending screen);p
However, If there are any misuses of SDL functions, please share your proper example with me. I would be very grateful.
Basic logic of my application
// Init my window when my event loop receives a STARTMIRRO event
SDL_CreateWindow();
SDL_CreateRender();
SDL_CreateTexture();
// When my event loop receives a AVFrame
SDL_UpdateYUVTexture(my_texture, NULL, ...);
SDL_RenderClear(my_renderer);
SDL_RenderCopy(my_renderer, my_texture);
SDL_RenderPresent(my_renderer);
// When my event loop receives a FULLSCREEN event
SDL_SetWindowFullscreen(my_window, mode);
// SDL_GetError() prints "Couldn't found monitor data" three times
