AddURL RPC
Adding a URL will only work if a video clip is not present in the playlist. Trying to immediately play the video after adding a URL will likely not work, because the video takes time to load. Induce a delay either via a StateMachine or by using a second button press to allow some time for the URL to resolve and the video to load.
