Andrewilley, any thoughts on this? Or even max?

That'd be max, not me I'm afraid.

I finally managed to get a Poweramp Playlist to be launched from within another app (New Playlist Manager).

For those interested:

public void playSelectedPlaylist(String playlist_id){

    Intent intent = new Intent(PowerampAPI.ACTION_API_COMMAND);
            intent.putExtra(PowerampAPI.COMMAND, PowerampAPI.Commands.OPEN_TO_PLAY)
                    .setData(PowerampAPI.ROOT_URI.buildUpon()
                    .appendEncodedPath("playlists")
                    .appendEncodedPath(playlist_id)
                    .appendEncodedPath("files")
                    .build());
    Intent explicit_intent = new Intent(createExplicitFromImplicitIntent(getActivity(), intent));
    getActivity().startService(explicit_intent);

}

The Poweramp library needs to be included.

ps. I have not shown the createExplicitFromImplicitIntent method but contact me if you want this.
