How to correctly use PLAY_VIDEO in Mirror API

I've been playing around with the Google Glass Mirror API and want to be able to stream a video.

This is the Python code snippet I tried:

def _insert_item_video_stream(self):
    """Insert a timeline item with streaming video."""
    logging.info('Inserting timeline item with streaming video')
    body = {
        'notification': {'level': 'DEFAULT'}, 
        'menuItems' : [{'action' : 'PLAY_VIDEO'},
                       {'payload' : 'https://eye-of-the-hawk.appspot.com/static/videos/waterfall.mp4'}],
    }
    self.mirror_service.timeline().insert(body=body).execute()
    return 'A timeline item with streaming video has been inserted.'

However, the video was just blank. Any ideas would be super helpful!

Was able to fix this after removing two brackets! Oh, Python. :/

This is the fixed line:

   'menuItems' : [{'action' : 'PLAY_VIDEO', 'payload' : 'https://eye-of-the-hawk.appspot.com/static/videos/waterfall.mp4'}],
