Update Playlist Items Endpoint 502 Error when passing in an empty URIs array

[sortlee]

This started happening yesterday 2025-02-19. Obviously a small but very critical bug. The issue I see is that for some reason, the API no longer allows us to send an empty array of URIs, which we use to clear out playlists.
