Something about the file itself as-is makes it incompatible to stream using AirPlay to this TV. That can be a codec issue, or frame rate issue, or interlace issue, or something more obscure.

If you will, please post the (extended) media file details from an analyses tool like Invisor Lite or MediaInfo, to examine if anything in there points to an incompatibility.

E.g. if your file is using a codec different from H.264/H.265 video with AAC/AC3 audio, then that might not work for AirPlay.
