Media_player.play_media throws an error: Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hello,
so I tried to call a media_player.play_media service using hass gui with this service data:

{
  "entity_id": "media_player.my_bravia_tv",
"media_content_id":"/Local/vid.mp4",
"media_content_type":"video"
}

and hass.io show this error:

Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/helpers/service.py", line 279, in _handle_service_platform_call
    await func(entity, data)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 56, in run
    result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/components/media_player/__init__.py", line 592, in play_media
    raise NotImplementedError()
NotImplementedError

Media player is Sony Bravia KD-43XE8077 (Android TV).
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

play_media is not implemented in that component like the error message indicates. Not all media players support all functions.
