Triggering autoplay via URL parameter

[lidel]

A feature requested by a user via email:

Hi, I am using your extension for Google play music keyboard controls (Thanks a lot btw). I have created a chrome shortcut on my desktop for google music however I would like if opening the shortcut would start playing music. I am using Windows 7

Ok, just to clarify: you want to have "autoplay" functionality, meaning as soon google music is loaded, it starts playing?

Yes, that is correct.

Quick idea dump:

• inject content-script on pages matching https://play.google.com/music/listen*
  • executes on document_idle
  • reads window.location.href and if it ends with autoplay=true triggers playback button

This will enable users to create bookmarks that automatically start playing. (eg. favourite album, playlist, artist, radio).

Done! Starting with v1.4.0 &autoplay=true is detected and acted upon.

• Autoplay "Feelin Lucky Radio": https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0&autoplay=true
