atvscript playing is facing an exception "app is not supported"

See original GitHub issue

Just installed via pip install pyatv scanning is working fine. Now I want to see what’s currently playing

So while executing atvscript -s 192.168.178.27 playing I’m facing following error:

{
  "result": "failure",
  "datetime": "2021-12-06T13:33:35.612050+01:00",
  "exception": "app is not supported",

}

further notice: while executing atvscript -s 192.168.178.27 playing ATV is displaying a pair code, haven’t expected this too.
