Update an item with API

[TeamB 2353]

Is it possible to update an item using the API

POST /emby/Items/<item_id>

and only supply the info you want updated?

i.e. in the POST request, just have the item details you want changed
{"CommunityRating":"5.0"}

It looks like you need to supply the full details, and they get overridden with blank if you don't include everything.

If it is not possible with the above API is there some other endpoint that does this?

ok so I need to write a plugin to handle my updates cos I dont want to anciently nuke my items details cos I did not add ALL the fields that were expected.

Some of the config endpoints now support updates via partial objects, so we will eventually get to the point where that can be done everywhere.
