Where's the best place to find out all the HTTP commands supported by the latest PMS release?

Is it possible yet to get the title of the currently playing media for a specific client device - for example ?

&nbsp;

The only saw I've found so far is the old wiki pages, and a lot of those commands don't seem to do anything(!) Such as rewind, fastForward, toggleOSD etc.

The jsonrpc API of Plex is very similar to that of current xbmc releases.&nbsp;

For info and examples:&nbsp;

It might be similar but it's a pain developing for an undocumented API. You can get stuck for hours and hours on stuff that you should not be stuck on.&nbsp;

Please can anyone provide a documentation for this?
