It works until move or resize the window. As far as I know, it’s broken on Linux/macOS/Windows, so not
“works without any problems”.

SDL should be run in main thread, that’s all, although we can do render in separate thread with vulkan.
It’s easy to create a video sink filter to do render, and setup a window on fftools/ffmpeg main thread,
or implement the whole preview task just inside fftools. Not everyone agrees on the preview feature
with ffmpeg, not to mention libSDL.
