Awesome!!!
with export DISPLAY=:0, the screen wakes up & plays the music :)
#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0
/usr/bin/xset dpms force on;
/usr/bin/xterm -display :0 -bg white \
-e /usr/bin/mplayer --really-quiet -shuffle -playlist ~/.playlist -stop-xscreensaver & PID=$! > /dev/null 2>&1
sleep 1800
kill $PID
/usr/bin/xset +dpms
Thanks, Ed, JB, & James, could not have done it without your help!
Happy Holidays to all;
Regards,
Antonio
