project-management-only/home-tv-station#13: API call to skip to next video

Issue Information

Description

It'd be useful to be able to tell the container to skip onto the next presentation - if the video's lagging (or the show's crap).

With the current setup we can't do previous, because we don't keep previous state.

The following call can be used to skip:

curl -d 'app=benstv&name=one' http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/next

What happens under the hood is that we kill ffmpeg allowing the loop to proceed.

If this is used while the test-card is up, it'll stop display of the testcard but won't set videos running again
