Convert from NV12 to RGB/YUV420P using libswscale - ffmpeg

Question

I'm developing an application which needs to transform NV12 frames from h264_cuvid decoder to RGB in order to modify those frames. I checked this question but I don't not the 'Stride' value.
My code is the following:
uint8_t *inData[2] = { videoFrame->data[0], videoFrame->data[0] + videoFrame->width * videoFrame->height };
int inLinesize[2] = { videoFrame->width, videoFrame->width };
sws_scale(convert_yuv_to_rgb, inData, inLinesize, 0, videoFrame->height, aux_frame->data, aux_frame->linesize);
But it does not work. Although the problem is on colours because I can see the luminance plane correctly.

I ended up using a video filter based on this example.
char args[512];
int ret;
AVFilter *buffersrc = avfilter_get_by_name("buffer");
AVFilter *buffersink = avfilter_get_by_name("buffersink");
AVFilterInOut *outputs = avfilter_inout_alloc();
AVFilterInOut *inputs = avfilter_inout_alloc();
AVFilterGraph *filter_graph = avfilter_graph_alloc();
AVBufferSinkParams *buffersink_params;
enum AVPixelFormat pix_fmts[] = { AV_PIX_FMT_RGB32, AV_PIX_FMT_NONE };
/* buffer video source: the decoded frames from the decoder will be inserted here. */
snprintf(args, sizeof(args),
"video_size=%dx%d:pix_fmt=%d:time_base=%d/%d:pixel_aspect=%d/%d",
inStream.width, inStream.height, inStream.pix_fmt,
inStream.time_base.num, inStream.time_base.den,
inStream.sample_aspect_ratio.num, inStream.sample_aspect_ratio.den);
ret = avfilter_graph_create_filter(&buffersrc_ctx_to_rgb_, buffersrc, "in", args, NULL, filter_graph);
if (ret < 0) {
throw SVSException(QString("Could not create filter graph, error: %1").arg(svsAvErrorToFormattedString(ret)));
}
/* buffer video sink: to terminate the filter chain. */
buffersink_params = av_buffersink_params_alloc();
buffersink_params->pixel_fmts = pix_fmts;
ret = avfilter_graph_create_filter(&buffersink_ctx_to_rgb_, buffersink, "out", NULL, buffersink_params, filter_graph);
if (ret < 0) {
throw SVSException(QString("Cannot create buffer sink, error: %1").arg(svsAvErrorToFormattedString(ret)));
}
/* Endpoints for the filter graph. */
outputs -> name = av_strdup("in");
outputs -> filter_ctx = buffersrc_ctx_to_rgb_;
outputs -> pad_idx = 0;
outputs -> next = NULL;
/* Endpoints for the filter graph. */
inputs -> name = av_strdup("out");
inputs -> filter_ctx = buffersink_ctx_to_rgb_;
inputs -> pad_idx = 0;
inputs -> next = NULL;
QString filter_description = "format=pix_fmts=rgb32";
if ((ret = avfilter_graph_parse_ptr(filter_graph, filter_description.toStdString().c_str(), &inputs, &outputs, NULL)) < 0) {
svsCritical("", QString("Could not add the filter to graph, error: %1").arg(svsAvErrorToFormattedString(ret)))
}
if ((ret = avfilter_graph_config(filter_graph, NULL)) < 0) {
svsCritical("", QString("Could not configure the graph, error: %1").arg(svsAvErrorToFormattedString(ret)))
}
return;
I created another one to convert from RGB to YUV420P before encoding in a similar way.
