Playlist (.m3u) at startup does not work

Using an actual .m3u at startup does not work...was wondering if anyone out there using confluence lite has this working? I've tried a .m3u from smb, local, scanned into library etc...m3u won't play at startup and here's why (tried on CL as well):

However, choosing a song from skin settings instead of a playlist will work (obviously it must be local, and my code is essentially the same as confluence lite)...

Am I missing a step or setting my playlist up wrong? I feel it's a problem with the program but could be wrong...if it's an x4x issue I'll make a bug report. I'm pretty sure my code is good, but will share if it's necessary...

PlayMedia(PlayMedia(...)) in there is not right.

Code: Select all

23:01:49 M: 44081152   DEBUG: CApplication::ExecuteXBMCAction : Translating PlayMedia(PlayMedia($INFO[Skin.String(Home_Startup_Audio_UD)]))
23:01:49 M: 44081152   DEBUG: CApplication::ExecuteXBMCAction : To PlayMedia(PlayMedia(special://profile/playlists/music/Bon Iver.m3u))

Hmm, I believe I borrowed code from CL and cross referenced it from kodi at the time of the original post...what would be the proper function for calling the playlist then?

PlayMedia() is fine to use, calling it twice is not - as in PlayMedia(PlayMedia(...)) as the log shows.

I have the problem with the PM III skin. In fact, the playlist gets loaded fine (I can see the entries e.g. in the playlist tab of the xbmc4xbox remote app), but actual playback doesn't start. Is this working as intended?
