Element.sendEvent

bool sendEvent(gst.event.Event event)

Sends an event to an element. If the element doesn't implement an event handler, the event will be pushed on a random linked sink pad for downstream events or a random linked source pad for upstream events.

This function takes ownership of the provided event so you should gst_event_ref() it if you want to reuse the event after this call.

MT safe.

Parameters

event the #GstEvent to send to the element.

Returns

true if the event was handled. Events that trigger a preroll (such

as flushing seeks and steps) will emit [gst.types.MessageType.AsyncDone].
