Is it possible to send commands (like play, pause, stop, and even commands to play a specific movie) to XBMC from a custom page in a web browser on the same network? I now you can control it using XBMC's own remote web app, but I honestly can't figure out how they do it and I can't tell if it can be done on my own custom page or not. Long story short, I'm trying to make my own web app for my setup. I'd really appreciate anybody's help!

You would want to use JSON RPC commands from your webpage to control XBMC,

Awesome! I'm glad something like this exists. There wouldn't happen to be an actual working example of this anywhere, would there? This documentation definitely helps, but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing unless I see an actual example of how all of these strings and parameters are used...
