If you have only one backend, then you can run the following SQL command
substituting in the proper hostname of your backend:

update recorded set hostname = 'YOURBACKENDHOSTNAME';

Make sure your frontend can use this hostname to see the backend as well.

The preview window used the old way of finding the recording file, it did
not use the newer method so it currently always streams the file from
the master backend instead of reading it locally if it is available.
