-## JSON RPC
-
-The ffplayout engine can run a simple RPC server. A request looks like:
-
-```Bash
-curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: ---auth-key---" \
-    -d '{"control":"next"}' \
-    127.0.0.1:7070
-```
-
-At the moment this commends are possible:
-
-```Bash
-'{"media":"current"}'  # get infos about current clip
-'{"media":"next"}'  # get infos about next clip
-'{"media":"last"}'  # get infos about last clip
-'{"control":"next"}'   # jump to next clip
-'{"control":"back"}'   # jump to last clip
-'{"control":"reset"}'  # reset playlist to old state
-'{"control":"text", \
