Thanks for your help. Yeah Yeah, the cow is back. He saw beans lots of beans
Looking back at the manual installation instructions, because I am using an X desktop environment it looks like QLC autostarts using /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
At the end of that file I had to add the line: @qlcplus -platform xcb --web --operate
So from what I can gather, /etc/init.d/qlcplus is not at play here. I have an autostart.qxw file in /home/pi/.qlcplus, which I have replaced with the file I want to start up, still no dice.
Autostart not working

This may solve a lot of people's problems with this. (Especially us Mac & Windows people)
While running QLC+
Click on the Save As icon.
Navigate to /root/
Right Click on the Empty window space where you'd see files.
Click "Show Hidden Files"
Navigate to the /root/.qlcplus/
Save your show as autostart.qxw
Since QLC+ signs in and runs as the superuser/root on the Pi it should save with the right permissions.
Hope this helps!

Just my 2cents:
To startup QLC+ at startup, take a look at my thread: https://www.qlcplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14509
I described how to set QLC+ to startup after boot, loading a workspace, going fullscreen, and running the webinterface also ...
good luck,
Kris
