Unable to play one of my named playlists. #17

I don't seem to be able to get spotctl to play a named playlist using the -t flag. Does it make a playlist based off the name you put into it or can it play a specific playlist that I specify?

Command tried: spotctl play -t playlist Rando

This instead seems to be a random song and play it? At any rate it doesn't play the playlist named Rando.

Try using the Spotify URI for the playlist. E.g. spotctl play "spotify:playlist:0eaMrsK4WlRLXsaYCEDfDG".

Works with private or public playlists. You can get the URI by looking at the URL for your playlist.
