    I want to play TimelineEditor from my custom script.

    I update TimelineEditor.playableDirector.time and get EditorWindow of Timeline and repaint it every frame, however it did not work..

    Add the following calls:
    playableDirector.DeferredEvaluate();
    GameView.RepaintAll();
    SceneView.RepaintAll();

    The DeferredEvaluate will evaluate the timeline the next time the views are repainted.
