Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Command line arguments to start automatic playlist

[Matt <fisxoj gmail com>]

I don't think you can play a playlist that's inside RB from the command 
line.  You could, however, try exporting the automatic one to a file, 
and then telling it to play that from the command line, I think.

I wouldn't like that solution, but I think that's the best you can do.
