Cannot send request when too many songs are selected

[Ainto]

Describe the bug

The request cannot be sent when too many songs are selected in the playlist.
For example: save all songs in the current play queue to a new playlist.

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: QNAP
• Virtualization: Docker
• Clients: Browser
• Browser: Microsoft Edge 88.0.680.1
• Jellyfin Version: 10.6.3
• Base URL: none

To Reproduce

1. Add some music to the playback queue
2. Click "save icon" (add to playlist) and click "add"

Expected behavior

In the browser devtools network

Request URL: http://192.168.1.xxx:8096/Playlists?Name=XXX&Ids=[Very long]
Request Method: POST
Status Code: 414 URI Too Long

This is a design issue, with the API using url parameter passing, which limits it to 2000 characters.

Is there a solution to this? I have the same issue but with a song that won't play because of this issue.

[crobibero]

The fix would be to update web to post the data instead of using query parameters

[TheNamelessWonderer]

The issue is I have an album with 270 tracks. If I choose the first one it adds all of them to a queue and thus causes URI too long and won't play the first track at all. I am running 10.7-RC4.

[crobibero]

I understand, the API accepts the request as a POST with the contents as the body or as query parameters. I originally migrated the API to only allow body but web still uses query parameters. This is not a server issue

[TheNamelessWonderer]

Should the issue be transferred to Jellyfin-Web if it isn't a server issue?

This also seems to be an issue when using syncplay and attempting to play an episode as
GET https://jelly.my.domain/Users/[user uuid]/Items?Ids=[very long] results in a http 414 error

This issue is also present when attempting to play a series episode from a show with many episodes per season in a SyncPlay group.

Thanks Bond-009 this is it. I see it has been here fore a while. Haven't tried Emby but these problems are on there forum too. Altough they claim to have increased the number off tracks.

Just saw the fix is waiting on approval: #4221

[dann-merlin]

Please note that the PR #4221 will fix the usage of the /Users/<hex userid>/Items?... endpoint, but not the original issue, as that is another endpoint that would require another fix itself. As I'm not affected by the playlist issue, I did not bother to fix this and am also not planning to (I don't have a lot of fun with typescript, sorry ^^). I'm sure however that the fix should be straight forward for anyone doing it themselves as it would pretty much be the same as my PR just for another endpoint.
