GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 349201
Auto-play on startup
Last modified: 2008-11-05 14:31:40 UTC
Add a command line option that makes rhythmbox to automatically start playing the current playlist upon startup. This will enable one to set rhythmbox to run on session start, and then hide itself, and play music.
You can currently achieve this by running 'rhythmbox-client && sleep 10 && rhythmbox-client --hide --play' .. but it'd be nice to be able to do this in one call.
cool. thanks for the tip. will be using that until you get around to adding the feature then. million cheers.
i had to modify that to rhythmbox && sleep 10 && rhythmbox --hide --play "rhythmbox-client" isn't on my system. but it ain't working. i'm running ubuntu dapper on an intel p4 1.6GHz w 256MB ram.
