    I want to specify certain times in timeline via markers and read out their positions.

    Consider custom markers like this:

    public class MidPointMarker : UnityEngine.Timeline.Marker {}


    How do I find all MidPointMarkers and their times set within the PlayableAsset?

    If your marker is placed on a track, you can get all markers on this track with GetMarkers(). You can filter the results to get only MidPointMarkers.

    If your marker is placed on the timeline itself, you'll have to get the marker track from the timeline and call GetMarkers() afterwards.

    Finally, if you want all MidPointMarkers inside a timeline, you can iterate on all tracks and call GetMarkers() on each one.

    Hope this helps!
