Is possible to cast to a samsung smart TV from home assistant

Configuration
1

Hello.
I want to know if it is possible to cast some video (for example, locally stored on homeassistant public folder) to a samsung smart tv. The TV is on home-assistant, and I can see it turned on and off, but I don’t know if it is possible to cast any content to it. I tried calling the service media_player.play_media with a youtube video as media_content_id but it didn’t worked (nothing happened).

Thanks in advance

I found a rest command to turn on the YouTube app on tv and send payload, seems it works for other people, but mine tv always says “invalid file”
