I need to draw a counter onto an OpenGL view. Here is my source code for the video frame display.

cgl_ctx = CGLContextObj ( [[self openGLContext]  CGLContextObj]);

glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB);
glGenTextures(1, &_surfaceTexture);
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB);
GLint swapInt = 1;//100;//1;

[[self openGLContext] setValues:&swapInt forParameter:NSOpenGLCPSwapInterval]; 
[[self openGLContext] makeCurrentContext];//make the current opengl the priority

glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTURE);

glGenTextures(1, &_surfaceTexture);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, _surfaceTexture);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP_SGIS, GL_TRUE);

glTexImage2D(
     GL_TEXTURE_2D,
     0,
     GL_RGBA,
     displayWidth,//960,//1920,
     displayHeight,//540,//1080,
     0,
     GL_BGRA,//GL_YCBCR_422_APPLE,//GL_RGB,//GL_APPLE_ycbcr_422,
     GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,//GL_BYTE,//GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,//GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_8_8_REV_APPLE,
     IOSurfaceGetBaseAddress(videoBuffer->ioSurfaceDataBuffer[bufferCounter].RGBDest ));

glBegin(GL_QUADS);
  glTexCoord2f(0.0, 0.0);
  glVertex3f(-1.0, -1.0, 0.0);
  glTexCoord2f(1.0, 0.0);
  glVertex3f(1.0, -1.0, 0.0);
  glTexCoord2f(1.0, 1.0);
  glVertex3f(1.0, 1.0, 0.0);
  glTexCoord2f(0.0, 1.0);
  glVertex3f(-1.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glEnd();
glFlush();  
threadTracking ("view 11\n");
printf("view 2.2) videoBuffer->ioSurfaceDataBuffer[bufferCounter].played  %d\n",videoBuffer->ioSurfaceDataBuffer[bufferCounter].played);

[[self openGLContext] flushBuffer];

    I got the source from another video player that displays video information, here is what i added to add text directly the displayed frame with openGL.

    char frameNumberBuffer[256];
CGColorSpaceRef frameCounterColorSpace;
CGContextRef frameCounterCglCtx;
frameCounterColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateWithName(kCGColorSpaceSRGB);

frameCounterCglCtx = CGBitmapContextCreate( IOSurfaceGetBaseAddress (videoBuffer->ioSurfaceDataBuffer[bufferCounter].RGBDest),
                                                              displayWidth, displayHeight, 8, IOSurfaceGetBytesPerRow(videoBuffer->ioSurfaceDataBuffer[bufferCounter].RGBDest),
                                                              frameCounterColorSpace, kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedFirst | kCGBitmapByteOrder32Host);


CGContextSelectFont(frameCounterCglCtx, "Helvetica", 72.0, kCGEncodingMacRoman);
snprintf(frameNumberBuffer,256,"Frame Counter:  %d",playCounter);

CGContextSetRGBFillColor(frameCounterCglCtx, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
CGContextShowTextAtPoint(frameCounterCglCtx, 100.0f, 100.0f, frameNumberBuffer, strlen(frameNumberBuffer));         

snprintf(frameNumberBuffer,256,"Buffer Counter:  %d",bufferCounter);

CGContextSetRGBFillColor(frameCounterCglCtx, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
CGContextShowTextAtPoint(frameCounterCglCtx, 100.0f, 200.0f, frameNumberBuffer, strlen(frameNumberBuffer));

    where the IOSurfaceGetBaseAddress (videoBuffer->ioSurfaceDataBuffer[bufferCounter].RGBDest) returns the data pointer to my original frame data which was stored on an IOSurface
