Casting video using play_url command getting black screen with loader on Apple TV for 3-4 seconds.

What do you need help with?

First successfully pin paired with Apple TV using this pyatv

Then I try to cast live video using play_url command as below

    `atvremote -i C6:B9:2F:50:12:3F play_url=http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4`

When execute this command getting 500: Internal Server Error as following error log on terminal

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/abc/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/scripts/atvremote.py", line 998, in _run_application return await cli_handler(loop) File "/Users/abc/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/scripts/atvremote.py", line 727, in cli_handler return await _handle_commands(args, config, storage, loop) File "/Users/abc/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/scripts/atvremote.py", line 877, in _handle_commands ret = await _handle_device_command(args, cmd, atv, storage, loop) File "/Users/abc/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/scripts/atvremote.py", line 933, in _handle_device_command return await _exec_command(atv.stream, cmd, True, *cmd_args) File "/Users/abc/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/scripts/atvremote.py", line 965, in _exec_command value = await tmp(*args) File "/Users/abc/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/core/facade.py", line 359, in play_url await self.relay("play_url")(url, **kwargs) File "/Users/abc/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/protocols/airplay/__init__.py", line 137, in play_url return await self._play_task File "/Users/abc/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/protocols/airplay/player.py", line 73, in play_url await self._wait_for_media_to_end() File "/Users/abc/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/protocols/airplay/player.py", line 91, in _wait_for_media_to_end resp = await self.rtsp.connection.get("/playback-info") File "/Users/abc/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/support/http.py", line 423, in get return await self.send_and_receive("GET", path, allow_error=allow_error) File "/Users/abci/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/support/http.py", line 496, in send_and_receive raise exceptions.HttpError( pyatv.exceptions.HttpError: HTTP/1.1 method GET failed with code 500: Internal Server Error

Then after I have checked player.py file at path pyatv/protocols/airplay/player.py
And modify one live of code as below

     `resp = await self.rtsp.connection.get("/info")`

instead of

     `resp = await self.rtsp.connection.get("/playback-info")`

after changes this line of code resolved above 500: Internal Server Error but then after run above command on Apple TV it will display black screen with loader approx 3-4 seconds then close

Anyone help on this if I missed any thing or there is existing issue in this code?

Thanks in advance.
