Automatic start of playlist on Pi

[mhebert35]

Hi,

How can I configure automatic start of playlist when booting my Pi?

Thank you

I was of the opinion that Rune 'remembers' my play list after a reboot.... all I have to do is press 'play' and off she goes. The difference between auto start and manual play is one button press.

Hi mhebert35,

sorry but this is not possible at the moment.

If you have a RP2 or RP3 and the latest version is installed you can try the "global random" feature (MENU->MPD).
Maybe this is what you are searching for.

Hi,

Thanks for the answers.

I know, we only have to do a click to start the playlist, but I want it to start the playlist playing as soon as the RP3 boot up.
Is there a way to start the service automatically?

Thank you

Hi Frank,

Sorry, I just tested the Global Random and yes, the playlist is starting automatcally at bootup.
But it adds a random song to the current playlist everytime and songs are twice on the playlist after that.

The best would have been to get a script started with crontab to start the playlist, but don't know to start the playlist with a script.

Thank you
