The event class provides factory methods to construct and functions query (parse) events.
Events are usually created with gst_event_new_*() which takes event-type
specific parameters as arguments.
To send an event application will usually use gst_element_send_event()
and
elements will use gst_pad_send_event()
or gst_pad_push_event()
.
The event should be unreffed with gst_event_unref()
if it has not been sent.
Events that have been received can be parsed with their respective gst_event_parse_*() functions.
Events are passed between elements in parallel to the data stream. Some events are serialized with buffers, others are not. Some events only travel downstream, others only upstream. Some events can travel both upstream and downstream.
The events are used to signal special conditions in the datastream such as EOS (end of stream) or the start of a new stream-segment. Events are also used to flush the pipeline of any pending data.
Most of the event API is used inside plugins. Applications usually only
construct and use seek events.
To do that gst_event_new_seek()
is used to create a seek event. It takes
the needed parameters to specity seeking time and mode.
Example 8. performing a seek on a pipeline
GstEvent *event; gboolean result; ... // construct a seek event to play the media from second 2 to 5, flush // the pipeline to decrease latency. event = gst_event_new_seek (1.0, GST_FORMAT_TIME, GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH, GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, 2 * GST_SECOND, GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, 5 * GST_SECOND); ... result = gst_element_send_event (pipeline, event); if (!result) g_warning ("seek failed"); ...

A non flushing seek might take some time to perform as the currently playing data in the pipeline will not be cleared.
An accurate seek might be slower for formats that don't have any indexes or timestamp markers in the stream. Specifying this flag might require a complete scan of the file in those cases.
When performing a segment seek: after the playback of the segment completes, no EOS will be emmited by the element that performed the seek, but a GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE message will be posted on the bus by the element. When this message is posted, it is possible to send a new seek event to continue playback. With this seek method it is possible to perform seemless looping or simple linear editing.

GstEvent* gst_event_new_eos (void);
Create a new EOS event. The eos event can only travel downstream synchronized with the buffer flow. Elements that receive the EOS event on a pad can return GST_FLOW_UNEXPECTED as a GstFlowReturn when data after the EOS event arrives.
The EOS event will travel down to the sink elements in the pipeline which will then post the GST_MESSAGE_EOS on the bus after they have finished playing any buffered data.
When all sinks have posted an EOS message, the EOS message is forwarded to the application.
Returns : | The new EOS event. |
GstEvent* gst_event_new_flush_start (void);
Allocate a new flush start event. The flush start event can be send upstream and downstream and travels out-of-bounds with the dataflow.
It marks pads as being flushing and will make them return
GST_FLOW_WRONG_STATE when used for data flow with gst_pad_push()
,
gst_pad_chain()
, gst_pad_alloc_buffer()
, gst_pad_get_range()
and
gst_pad_pull_range()
. Any event (except a GST_EVENT_FLUSH_STOP) received
on a flushing pad will return FALSE
immediatly.
Elements unlock and blocking functions and exit their streaming functions as fast as possible.
This event is typically generated after a seek to minimize the latency after the seek.
Returns : | A new flush start event. |
GstEvent* gst_event_new_flush_stop (void);
Allocate a new flush stop event. The flush start event can be send upstream and downstream and travels out-of-bounds with the dataflow. It is typically send after sending a FLUSH_START event to make the pads accept data again.
Elements can process this event synchronized with the dataflow since the preceeding FLUSH_START event stopped the dataflow.
This event is typically generated to complete a seek and to resume dataflow.
Returns : | A new flush stop event. |
GstEvent* gst_event_new_navigation (GstStructure *structure);
Create a new navigation event from the given description.
GstEvent* gst_event_new_new_segment (gboolean update, gdouble rate, GstFormat format, gint64 start, gint64 stop, gint64 position);

GstEvent* gst_event_new_new_segment_full (gboolean update, gdouble rate, gdouble applied_rate, GstFormat format, gint64 start, gint64 stop, gint64 position);
Allocate a new newsegment event with the given format/values triplets.
The newsegment event marks the range of buffers to be processed. All data not within the segment range is not to be processed. This can be used intelligently by plugins to apply more efficient methods of skipping unneeded data.
The position value of the segment is used in conjunction with the start
value to convert the buffer timestamps into the stream time. This is
usually done in sinks to report the current stream_time.
position
represents the stream_time of a buffer carrying a timestamp of
start
. position
cannot be -1.
start
cannot be -1, stop
can be -1. If there
is a valid stop
given, it must be greater or equal the start
, including
when the indicated playback rate
is < 0.
The applied_rate
value provides information about any rate adjustment that
has already been made to the timestamps and content on the buffers of the
stream. (rate
* applied_rate
) should always equal the rate that has been
requested for playback. For example, if an element has an input segment
with intended playback rate
of 2.0 and applied_rate of 1.0, it can adjust
incoming timestamps and buffer content by half and output a newsegment event
with rate
of 1.0 and applied_rate
of 2.0
After a newsegment event, the buffer stream time is calculated with:
position + (TIMESTAMP(buf) - start) * ABS (rate * applied_rate)

GstEvent* gst_event_new_qos (gdouble proportion, GstClockTimeDiff diff, GstClockTime timestamp);
Allocate a new qos event with the given values. The QOS event is generated in an element that wants an upstream element to either reduce or increase its rate because of high/low CPU load or other resource usage such as network performance. Typically sinks generate these events for each buffer they receive.
proportion
indicates the real-time performance of the streaming in the
element that generated the QoS event (usually the sink). The value is
generally computed based on more long term statistics about the streams
timestamps compared to the clock.
A value < 1.0 indicates that the upstream element is producing data faster
than real-time. A value > 1.0 indicates that the upstream element is not
producing data fast enough. 1.0 is the ideal proportion
value. The
proportion value can safely be used to lower or increase the quality of
the element.
diff
is the difference against the clock in running time of the last
buffer that caused the element to generate the QOS event. A negative value
means that the buffer with timestamp
arrived in time. A positive value
indicates how late the buffer with timestamp
was.
timestamp
is the timestamp of the last buffer that cause the element
to generate the QOS event. It is expressed in running time and thus an ever
increasing value.
The upstream element can use the diff
and timestamp
values to decide
whether to process more buffers. For possitive diff
, all buffers with
timestamp <= timestamp
+ diff
will certainly arrive late in the sink
as well.
The application can use general event probes to intercept the QoS event and implement custom application specific QoS handling.

GstEvent* gst_event_new_seek (gdouble rate, GstFormat format, GstSeekFlags flags, GstSeekType start_type, gint64 start, GstSeekType stop_type, gint64 stop);
Allocate a new seek event with the given parameters.
The seek event configures playback of the pipeline between start
to stop
at the speed given in rate
, also called a playback segment.
The start
and stop
values are expressed in format
.
A rate
of 1.0 means normal playback rate, 2.0 means double speed.
Negatives values means backwards playback. A value of 0.0 for the
rate is not allowed and should be accomplished instead by PAUSING the
pipeline.
A pipeline has a default playback segment configured with a start position of 0, a stop position of -1 and a rate of 1.0. The currently configured playback segment can be queried with GST_QUERY_SEGMENT.
start_type
and stop_type
specify how to adjust the currently configured
start and stop fields in segment
. Adjustments can be made relative or
absolute to the last configured values. A type of GST_SEEK_TYPE_NONE means
that the position should not be updated.
When the rate is positive and start
has been updated, playback will start
from the newly configured start position.
For negative rates, playback will start from the newly configured stop position (if any). If the stop position if updated, it must be different from -1 for negative rates.
It is not possible to seek relative to the current playback position, to do this, PAUSE the pipeline, query the current playback position with GST_QUERY_POSITION and update the playback segment current position with a GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET to the desired position.

void gst_event_parse_new_segment (GstEvent *event, gboolean *update, gdouble *rate, GstFormat *format, gint64 *start, gint64 *stop, gint64 *position);
Get the update flag, rate, format, start, stop and position in the
newsegment event. In general, gst_event_parse_new_segment_full()
should
be used instead of this, to also retrieve the applied_rate value of the
segment. See gst_event_new_new_segment_full()
for a full description
of the newsegment event.

#define gst_event_replace(old_event,new_event)
Modifies a pointer to a GstEvent to point to a different GstEvent. The modification is done atomically (so this is useful for ensuring thread safety in some cases), and the reference counts are updated appropriately (the old event is unreffed, the new one is reffed).
Either new_event
or the GstEvent pointed to by old_event
may be NULL.
