Excuse me if this is not an appropriate place to post this request. I have searched on this forum and the Raspberry pi forum and I cannot find any instructions on how to create a playlist and run that playlist on raspberry pi boot up.
I would appreciate it if someone could direct me to a user guide.

Thanks,
Bob W.

this is a matter of starting vlc automatically at startup, nothing really special on VLC side,

first result from google regarding this:

https://www.dexterindustries.com/howto/ ... t-startup/

for VLC, just create a playlist with VLC on your desktop (media > save to playlist), ensure that the paths match the files on your RPi or write a m3u manually,

then have your script start VLC with a command something like

`vlc /path/to/your/myplaylist.m3u`
