I’ve managed to create a playlist in /var/lib/mopidy/playlists linking it to all my music in /music/MusicBox, I was just wondering is there a way to to on start up play the select playlist, I’ve tried autoplay =/var/lib/mopidy/playlists/DCR.m3u and various variations with no look. I looked in the [startup.sh](http://startup.sh) and haven’t a clue where to start.

would l appropriate it if anyone knew and could tell me 😄
