Hi Derk-Jan,

Yes, that is pretty much what is happening. And would probably be the 
right thing to
do for command line arguments. So, as my colleague Greg has suggesting, 
probably
the best thing is that src/playlist/playlist.c in the request/non-view 
case checks and
respects the PLAYLIST_SKIP_FLAG. It does for all the other combinations 
of view mode
and request or play/old-mode, just not for request/non-view mode NextItem().

Line 965-1000 in playlist.c

Does it sound reasonable?


Dermot.
