As a workaround for playlists, I put this together for my startup: #!/bin/sh rhythmbox-client sleep 10 listid=`dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Playlists.GetPlaylists uint32:3 uint32:1 string:Alphabetical boolean:false | grep -o /.*0x[^\"]*` dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Playlists.ActivatePlaylist objpath:$listid
You can replace “uint32:3″ with the number (alphabetical) of the playlist you want. this could be impoved to select by name as well -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395967 Title: Play music from command line To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/395967/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
