How to do in Lua: SetPlayPosition(number:time)

[inframan]

the API provides these for manipulating the edit cursor

  position = reaper.GetCursorPosition()
  reaper.SetEditCurPos(position, boolean moveview, boolean seekplay )

but for play position I can only find

  playposition = reaper.GetPlayPosition()

I would love to have something like reaper.SetPlayPosition(playposition).

I can imagine a couple of slightly clumsy workarounds, such as first set a marker or time selection then go-to marker or go-to time selection (then clear the marker/selection if no longer needed).

But it seems there oughta be a single direct script action to do this.

Am I missing something?

Setting seekplay to true should do what you want I think, no?

thanks nofish - I guessed there must be an easy solution, and there it was, right under my nose !
