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.

<p>I presume you are looking for the "XSPF/M3U8/ASX" option? To see
that, I do, in Webfrontend:</p>
<p>Using Firefox (not tried Google Chrome for this bit):</p>
<p class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Webfrontend|left-hand
Menu|TV|Recordings; left click on "Watch" on the recording
thumbnail. Three options appear:</p>
Play in Browser<br>
XSPF/M3U8/ASX<br>
Download
<p class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Click XSPF/M3U8/ASX and Firefox
prompts to open with VLC, and it does.</p>
<p class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Firefox|Preferences|Applications
has:</p>
<p class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">application/x-mpegurl type
Always ask.</p>
<p class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">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).<br>

I tried to use VLC directly which failed and selected uPnP, I have a server running ‘doze media player and my samsung TV see it and can use it, but that failed too.
