Start playing Audible?

[flu13]

I'm completely new to Tasker, but I'm trying to figure something out and wondering if I can't actually do what I want.

What I want is for my phone to automatically fire up Audible and start playing when it connects to the bluetooth in my car.

I've gotten it most of the way there. The screen will unlock, turn on and it will launch Audible in the "Player" action. What I can't do is tell it to start playing. I keep thinking that I should be able to just do the Media "Play" action, since once Audible is playing, play/pause commands from Bluetooth control it, but what I end up with instead is my Music app starting to play.

Can anyone please tell me how to make Audible start playing?

Anybody? This is my primary challenge too. I was suggested using the 'D-Pad' control in tasker to select play and click it, but my phone reports the D-Pad is not available - GNote2.

You need root to use the D-Pad. I'm not familiar with Audible but there may be an intent to start playing audio.

This might help. Just add this action after your Open App / Audible action.

New action
Script
Run Shell
Command: input keyevent KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
check Use Root (you will need to confirm the SU popup if you haven't already done it - also not sure if root is needed)

This works on my GS3. This also works for spotify.
