SOLVED: Jellyfin not accepting Item Update API call

[itai shufman]

i seem to have the same problem and getting the item first isnt solving it.


import requests

auth = 'MediaBrowser Token="my_api_token"'

server = 'http://127.0.0.1:8096'

uri = f"/Items?parentId=some_playlist_id&fields=Path"

videos = requests.get(f'{server}{uri}',headers={'Authorization': auth}).json()

for vid in videos['Items']:
vid['Name'] = custom_parsing_function(vid['Path'])
update_uri = f"/Items/{vid['Id']}"
resp = requests.post(f'{server}{update_uri}',headers={'Authorization': auth}, json=vid)



i get status code 400 back.
is this because i include the "path" in thhe GET command?
