I'm trying to run QVideoWidget and matplotlib animation together,
but when I run this py, QVideoWidget is not working.
I got QVideoWidget code and matplotlib animation code then sum those code together in below code.
If I close the matplotlib animation Window, then the QVideoWidget is working.
I wonder why this happen and solve this problem
Thank you

Every GUI needs an event loop to be able to update itself and attend user events, OS events, etc. And in the case of matplotlib it is called when using plt.show() and in the case of PyQt5 when calling app.exec_(). With your current code the event loop of matplotlib is blocking PyQt, so you can not interact with the window created by PyQt5.
The solution is simple, matplotlib supports several backends including PyQt5, so the solution is to use it, in the following link you can find an example.
Considering the above, the following code implements the solution:
import random
import matplotlib
# Make sure that we are using QT5
matplotlib.use('Qt5Agg')
