>Starting up the player software is one of the last things that happens during boot up.
Yes, but so is the reading of config.ini. For various good/bad reasons, Hijack cannot read config.ini until after the player starts up and reads config.ini, so it's just a question of which happens first: player reads flash, or hijack reads config.ini.
If things are not presently in the correct order, then a fair bit of fiddling may be needed to read config.ini earlier.
Easy enough to figure out which happens first, but it just needs doing, that's all.
