Post not populating for custom post type based on category selection

This question is actually an extension of this question.

For default post type posts are populated based on category selection from the drop down, but when I change the settings for the Custom post types than posts do not populate for the CPT categories election from the drop down.

I think that the ajax part of the scripting is working fine. Check the visual here. But the conditional loop has some issue.

Here is the code →

/ Script for getting posts
function ajax_filter_get_posts( $taxonomy ) {

  // Verify nonce
  if( !isset( $_POST['afp_nonce'] ) || !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['afp_nonce'], 'afp_nonce' ) )
    die('Permission denied');

  $taxonomy = $_POST['taxonomy'];

  if($taxonomy == 'all'){
      // WP Query
      $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'video',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
      );
  }else{
      // WP Query
      $args = array(
        'category_name' => $taxonomy,
        'post_type' => 'video',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
      );
  }

  // If taxonomy is not set, remove key from array and get all posts
  if( !$taxonomy ) {
    unset( $args['category'] );
  }

  $query = new WP_Query( $args );

  if ( $query->have_posts() ) : while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
    <li class="box">
        <div class="images"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'large') ?></div>
        <div class="text3">
            <h4><?php $categories = get_the_category();
            if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
              echo '<a class="themelor" href="' . esc_url( get_category_link( $categories[0]->term_id ) ) . '">' . esc_html( $categories[0]->name ) . '</a>';
            } ?></h4>
            <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
        </div>
    </li>
  <?php endwhile; ?>
  <?php else: ?>
    <h2>No posts found</h2>
  <?php endif;
  //die();
    exit();
}

add_action('wp_ajax_filter_posts', 'ajax_filter_get_posts');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_filter_posts', 'ajax_filter_get_posts');

I think this part is executing →

      if($taxonomy == 'all'){
      // WP Query
      $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'video',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
      );
  }else{

But this part is not executing →

      $args = array(
    'category_name' => $taxonomy,
    'post_type' => 'video',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,

Can some one help me where am I going wrong? what need to be fixed in the loop?

#Extra: Category for CPT is defined like this:

    add_action( 'init', 'create_video_cpt_taxonomy' );

function create_video_cpt_taxonomy() {
    register_taxonomy(
        'vcategory',
        'video',
        array(
            'label' => __( 'Video Category' ),
            'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'vcategory' ),
            'hierarchical' => true,
        )
    );
}

add_action( 'init', 'video_CPT_registration' );

For custom post types do we have to write this part in some other way:

      $taxonomy = $_POST['taxonomy'];

Or perhaps there is something else that is conflicting.

Please let me Know if I have to give some extra information.
