EventType
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gst





.. class:: EventType
   :no-contents-entry:






:obj:`~gi.repository.Gst.EventType` lists the standard event types that can be sent in a pipeline.

The custom event types can be used for private messages between elements
that can't be expressed using normal
GStreamer buffer passing semantics. Custom events carry an arbitrary
:obj:`~gi.repository.Gst.Structure`\.
Specific custom events are distinguished by the name of the structure.




Methods

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: EventType
   :no-index:


   .. method:: get_flags() -> ~gi.repository.Gst.EventTypeFlags

      Gets the :obj:`~gi.repository.Gst.EventTypeFlags` associated with ``type``\.









   .. method:: get_name() -> str

      Get a printable name for the given event type. Do not modify or free.









   .. method:: to_quark() -> int

      Get the unique quark for the given event type.









   .. method:: to_sticky_ordering() -> int

      Converts the :obj:`~gi.repository.Gst.EventType` to an unsigned integer that
      represents the ordering of sticky events when re-sending them.
      A lower value represents a higher-priority event.
