Start playlist after Starting VLC with --no-play-autostart

[vrod]

Hi.

I started VLC with a commandline with the "--no-play-autostart" option.
It appears that VLC has loaded in the background and is waiting to start playing the playlist.

I have used AutoHotKey to send keypresses (tried {Enter} and {Space}) to the hidden application (VLC) to no avail.

How do I accomplish this?

thanks!

Has anyone ever done this?

Thanks.
