API POST /System/Restart Fails

[SonnyMN 1]

The API System Restart CURL command fails 

 

curl -X POST "http://10.0.0.161:8096/emby/System/Restart?api_key=0213bcc4521c418d8deaa30d016cb348"-H "accept: */*"

 

This is the error

      <h1>Length Required</h1>

 

I have googled and search and tried many recommendations but nothing seems to work.

 

I want to restart my embyserver nightly which seems to prevent running into high disk i/o (runaway processes clobbering disk).

 

Not sure why emby is so disk intensive --- WMC ran fine for 8 yrs on the same hardware recording 6 streams concurrently. Emby bottlenecks on disk I/O with 1 or 2 concurrent recording streams.

Hi, it's more likely that the request is not following our Api Guidelines rather than it actually failing.

There are other topics on this, but running the commands manually you have to use -d "".

curl -X POST "http://IPADDRESS:8096/emby/System/Restart?api_key=YOURAPIKEY" -d ""
