The Channel's reload command allows you to load a playlist on a channel. If the channel is active, the new playlist will be loaded without interruption to the user. If the channel is not active, then it will start up shortly with the requested playlist. To start the playlist on a video other than the first video, set the start_on parameter to index of the video you wish to play. Video indexes start at 0.
