Hello,
Fresh installation of Linux Mint 20, MATE, 64 bit; MythTV fixes/31 (v31.0-v31.0) as combined backend and frontend. All that seems to work.
So, with Firefox, trying Webfrontend|TV|Recordings; for a recording: Watch|Play in browser results in "No video with supported format..." and an instruction to install JW Player.
Going to Menu|3rd-Party Software|JW Player and clicking on the button "Install JW Player" results in "501 not implemented."
My searching has not resulted in a solution.
So is this process meant to work? If so, is there a fix? Or is there another way of viewing via a browser?

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">So I tried Google Chrome. That allowed the installation of JW Player; Firefox then knew JW Player was installed. But neither worked for "Play in Browser".
I then tried "XSPF/M3U8/ASX" which gave a prompt; selecting VLC worked. That will do for me.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I presume you are looking for the "XSPF/M3U8/ASX" option? To see that, I do, in Webfrontend:
Using Firefox (not tried Google Chrome for this bit):
Webfrontend|left-hand Menu|TV|Recordings; left click on "Watch" on the recording thumbnail. Three options appear:
Play in Browser
XSPF/M3U8/ASX
Download
Click XSPF/M3U8/ASX and Firefox prompts to open with VLC, and it does.
Firefox|Preferences|Applications has:
application/x-mpegurl type Always ask.
I've tried this only on the combined backend/frontend so far (which in a way is pointless, because I would usually use the proper frontend).

Thank you (works perfectly) Why can’t I get VLC to do that :-)

<p>I thought this discussion was interesting and tried the
following.</p>
<p>1. Using Google Chrome browser, login to webfrontend and install
JW Player</p>
<p class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">2. In TV -> Recordings ->
left click on "Watch" on the recording thumbnail. Four options
appear: <br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>Play in Browser</li>
<li>Play on Frontend LibreELEC<br>
</li>
<li>XSPF/M3U8/ASX <br>
</li>
<li>Download</li>
</ol>
<p class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I selected XSPF/M3U8/ASX and Chrome
showed the .m3u8 file as downloaded at the bottom of the browser.
I click on that and the Video starts play in the "Video" (Totem)
Program on Linux Mint/Ubuntu. I could also right click the file in
my Download directory and select play with VLC.</p>
<p class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">However, without any further VLC
configuration the quality in Totem was already better.</p>
