Hi.... I currently have deadbeef launch in my openbox autostart script, and it starts playing, has a tray icon, but the gui jumps up to. I then have to close the gui, and it minimises to the tray. I want to find a way of skipping the last step.... either have deadbeef launch minimised, or a command to close deadbeef in the same way that clicking the X does..... not had much joy with google.... maanged to get this to work with transmission, as it has a "-m" argument.

Can you set properties for DeadBeef in rc.xml? Of course if you do this, DeadBeef will always open minimized...
How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.

yes, i can set properties for deadbeef in rc.xml however I am not sure how to set this for deadbeef to start up in the tray only.... the closest option is to start it iconified, which isnt what I am after........
after a lot of googling, there isnt a direct way to get deadbeef to do this.... what i need is the following;
deadbeef /my/playlist.pls && <some command> deadbeef
where <some command> has the same effect as clicking the x on deadbeef

sleep 3
wmctrl -c deadbeef
