Query location worked as expected when I returned to the "Watch Recordings" screen and when I was playing or paused on a recording. But when I pressed M/Menu while playing or paused, I could reproduce the timeout. Is this a bug?

Can't say if it's a bug, but check the frontend log. The timeout
can be avoided with something like this:

$ echo "query location" | nc -i1 -q2 -w2 localhost 6546
