Trying to use this with Python 3.13 results in the following error when trying to play anything:

Exception occurred during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 42716)

The cafile parameter was removed, and should be passed using the context parameter instead.

I was getting the same error as OP and unable to play anything. I cloned the mentioned pull request and can play media but the logs still show the errors above regarding the timeline every second or so. Tested on Fedora 41, cloned repo and using run.py.

@regroup6405 Could try again, I've just made a change to utils.py, let me know if you still got the same error ?

[regroup6405]

Yes that change solves the error, I made the same change and made a pull request against your fork a couple min ago so I removed that and all is well. That should be all occurrences of this "cafile" error in the repo.

Now, let's give @iwalton3 some time to check this, and hopefully, it will get merged if everything looks good.
