i keep getting this error while trying to delete items using the emby API
 

Quote

Failed to delete item {Item_ID} from Emby: 400, Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'user')


however, the API docs don't say that this API endpoint requires a user parameter

Here is my code for this section 

def delete_item(item_id):

    url = f"{EMBY_URL}/Items"

    params = {

        'Ids': item_id,

        'api_key': EMBY_API_KEY

    }

    response = requests.delete(url, params=params)

    if response.status_code == 200:

        print(f"Item {item_id} deleted successfully from Emby.")

    else:

        print(f"Failed to delete item {item_id} from Emby: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

i fixed it, the solution was to not pass them as params and just put them in the URL like so 

  

def delete_item(item_id):
    url = f"{EMBY_URL}/Items?{item_id}&api_key={EMBY_API_KEY}"
    response = requests.delete(url)
    if response.status_code == 204:
        print(f"Item {item_id} deleted successfully from Emby.")
    else:
        print(f"Failed to delete item {item_id} from Emby: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

the logs arent showing any errors either

AFAIK, you need to use the User Items endpoint like /Users/<UserID/Items/<ItemID> for deleting an item.

That may still work but it needs to be done as a user like /Users/<UserID/Items?Ids=<ItemID>

Try posting to Items/Delete. This is the newest one because it accepts multiple.

Unfortunately, that yields the same error: Value cannot be null (Parameter 'user')

It performs no different to a DELETE request, be it from Python-request or cURL. Swagger seems to have no problem via my desktop computer, for whatever strange reason.

@artstardid you try this way?

Absolutely. In fact, it is your code I'm working with (thanks again, by the way!). Your way gives a 204 but it does not remove the file from disk. Hence, I edited your API call to the other approach as indicated by Swagger, as well as Luke's POST suggestion. All of them fail in the manner shown below.

@LukeApologies, I neglected to paste an excerpt from the log:

Odd as it was deleting files on my system (during testing), I did have an issue at first where it wasn't deleting files, however this was a permissions issue for me as on my system the files are owned by user: media and group:media while emby runs as user:emby and group:media and while the group has the same permission to the files as the user does so should have been able to delete them this wasn't working on mine, however I changed emby to run as user:media and this seemed to have been working the last time I checked. 

 

However I use sonarr and radarr to delete them on my system as that notifies emby of the deletion, where as deleting them in emby didn't notify sonarr/radarr so they thought the show still had files until I manually rescanned the show. 

When im able to I'll do some testing with the different endpoints and see if I can find a solution for you

Ordinarily, I would allow Sonarr and Radarr to manage that for me too but those are riding on my seedbox whilst the Emby server is on-premise with no connection to them, so I can watch directly off the NAS instead of stream over the internet.

I appreciate you looking into this. For me, it was reporting that it would not do anything with the episode in question, per my example below. It responds with a 204 but it does not actually execute the file deletion.

However, when I change the API call from /Items?={item_id} to /Items/{item_id}?api_key=xxxxxxxx, then it does actually attempt to work with that item ID but demands the 'user' parameter cannot be null.

It has me wondering why Swagger could get it to work but copy+paste of the Swagger cURL output yields this result.

I would redact your API Keys from the logs btw, I know you redacted the IP/FQDN but to be safe you should redact the API key too

Also, to add some more food for thought, I've tried another call and I can demonstrate how this works for Swagger but not a local curl execution.

I would redact your API Keys from the logs btw, I know you redacted the IP/FQDN but to be safe you should redact the API key too 

Nah, it's safe. This Emby server is strictly LAN. No WAN access into it and my entire network is barricaded from incoming internet on my Fortigate. :)

As it happens I am up against exactly this issue, so "me too!"

I can confirm that using the form Items?<itemid> does give a 204 but in fact does apparently nothing (does not delete the item).  And I am also getting the "Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'user'])" when I do it as swagger suggests.

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks.

It's comforting to know that it's not just me doing something stupid (wouldn't be the first time for me).

Thanks for chiming in!

@artstaryou haven't come up with a workaround for this have you?  I was thinking maybe "recursively delete the directory containing the movie['Path'] and then force a library rescan" - but - pretty ugly.

I could go that path but I'd rather be patient and see what Luke finds. I prefer elegant solutions wherever possible. :)

Yes testing this the Swagger api_key works but the generated api via UI does not. 

Only change to curl command was api key generated via UI and one via Swagger session.

  

curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8091/emby/Items?Ids={itemid}&api_key={apikey}" -d ""

 System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'url')
