Media_player.play_media Kodi Erroring

Hi
I had a script that was working fine some time ago and I’ve just got around to looking at automating it again and it seems it’s stopped working. The script was to play a rtsp stream from a local camera to a kodi system.

I had some problems using the media_player.play_media service with Kodi a few weeks ago and I resorted to using the kodi.call_method instead. I will probably figure the JSON out to play the script but in the meantime is there something up with media_player.play_media service or has this been deprecated? If the latter can we update the examples in the documentation?

My script looks like this:

front_door_camera_lounge:
  alias: Front Door Camera Lounge
  sequence:
    - service: homeassistant.turn_on
      entity_id: switch.0x000d6ffffe2b94dc_switch
    - service: script.turn_on
      entity_id: script.blr_lounge_amp_hector
    - delay: '00:00:05'
    - service: media_player.play_media
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.kodi_main
        media_content_type: DIRECTORY
        media_content_id: special://profile/playlists/video/Cam_front_door.strm

And this is the error thrown in the log:
