I wonder if you could coax more info from the debugging system. The
Perl source suggests there *is* an itunesplaylist URL format, and that
if you set the plugin.itunes debug level to Info, it should log messages
like "Got a playlist ($url) named $name" when you play an iTunes
playlist.

I'd try adding "button browse; button now_playing;". I wouldn't do
simply now_playing because that button will toggle the Now Playing
format & visualizer options if you're already in Now Playing; by sending
a Browse button command first you should avoid that. It might be cleaner
if you could send a command to jump into your When Playing screensaver,
which is something that my SaverSwitcher plugin almost allows (it gives
an Activate Screensaver option if you're using my ContextMenu plugin),
but unfortunately I didn't make a CLI command for that.

Glad to hear it!
