I finally managed to code JSON and EventServer with the help of another forumer on my remote.
A couple of things I couldn't do though:
1. How to send a command to Restart the XBMC Application? In HTTP there was a command, but I could not find it neither in EventServer nor in JSON.
2. I need to send a command to set a specific AspectRatio of a movie. I found how to toggle the different modes ("z" key), but I need to set a specific Ratio, so a command like "AspectRatio = 16:9" and "AspectRatio = Original" would be ideal.
3. Finally I need to set a specific Zoom amount during the Video playback (not the Pictures Zoom, that I found).
How can I do that?
thanks to all for your inputs.

Changing any settings (general, video playback etc) isn't possible yet through JSON-RPC because there are too many things that could go wrong with the current settings implementation (this was also a problem with HTTP API). Once I've finished my complete rewrite of the settings system this will be addressed.

With eventserver you can restart the application by sending an action packet with RestartApp as action. It will work on atleast Linux, not sure on other platforms.

@Montellese:
OK Thanks
@topfs2:
I use Linux and I did tried the action packet "RestartApp" but when the app restarts, JSON does not work anymore (Error message: "Remote communication server Failed to start").
So I though it was not the right way of doing it.

I have heard other reports of JSON-RPC (and other network services) not working anymore after restarting XBMC. The most likely problem is that the sockets haven't been properly released yet when XBMC restarts and then XBMC can't bind to them anymore.
