TimelineEditor.playableDirector stopped and played events & states bug

TimelineEditor.playableDirector doesn't properly fire stopped and played events.
If you also log the TimelineEditor.playableDirector.state it will only show Playing after hitting the play button in the Timeline once.

I reported this as a bug.

Here's a simple script I wrote that shows the state and events firing only once.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEditor;
2. using UnityEditor.Timeline;
3.  
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEngine.Playables;
6.  
7. using System;
8.  
9. [InitializeOnLoad]
10. class TimelineEditorEvents
11. {
12.     private static bool eventsAssigned = false;
13.  
14.     static TimelineEditorEvents ()
15.     {
16.         EditorApplication.update += Update;
17.     }
18.  
19.  
20.     static void Played(PlayableDirector playableDirector)
21.     {
22.         Debug.LogFormat("Played -> {0}, time: {1}", playableDirector.state, playableDirector.time);
23.     }
24.  
25.  
26.     static void Stopped(PlayableDirector playableDirector)
27.     {
28.         Debug.LogFormat("Stopped -> {0}, time: {1}", playableDirector.state, playableDirector.time);
29.     }
30.  
31.     static void Update ()
32.     {
33.         if(TimelineEditor.playableDirector == null)
34.             return;
35.  
36.         Debug.Log(TimelineEditor.playableDirector.state);
37.  
38.         if(!eventsAssigned)
39.         {
40.             Debug.Log("Events assigned!");
41.             TimelineEditor.playableDirector.played += Played;
42.             TimelineEditor.playableDirector.stopped += Stopped;
43.             eventsAssigned = true;
44.         }
45.     }
46. }

Tested on Unity 2018.1

 

Thanks for the quick reply @seant_unity, great to hear you've solved this in 2018.2 as well as the audio track playback!
