Just to be clear, you're talking about playing home movies created in 
Kdenlive, and accessed through the video library, and the mention of 
your HDHomeRun was irrelevant other than to show that other MPEG-2 video 
playback worked.

First guess without seeing any logs, you've configured the Video Library 
to use local paths using the dialogs in mythfrontend, rather than remote 
paths using the Videos storage group in mythtv-setup. That means the 
frontend is trying to access the content directly, the backend is not 
involved to stream the content to the frontend, and you cannot play the 
video because you do not have the content mounted to the filesystem on 
the remote frontend.
