be a more kind to a newcomer searching even otherwise great XBMC Wiki if you don't know exactly FOR can be frustrating

@fuscod

rikardo was right about XBMC in the means that this is finally XBMC function you are looking for. so XBian will do for you the auto start of XBMC, then you manage inside XBMC.

so finally take the read of XBMC Wiki, what you are looking for (easiest way to achieve) is by utilising XBMC 'autoexec.py'.
that means XBian starts XBMC, XBMC finds autoexec.py in XBian home folder (you have to create that file - it must be /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/autoexec.py) and will start it as it starts.
in autoexec.py you will have just one command - to play a XBMC playlist you will create before.

what is the command to play a playlist and how to prepare it - that's the topics you read about at XBMC Wiki. this are rather basic topics and commonly used so you will manage that easily.
