Thanks again for your answer. To make a long story short, you are right:
the recordings can be played on the TV set as videos.
Moreover, perhaps because of recent upgrades, gupnp-av-cp no longer has
problems with MythTV. So I restore the previous subject.
Unfortunately the details are quite confusing for me.

I agree it's probably irrelevant, but just of curiosity, what do you
mean by Polish DVB?
ffmpeg reports for a sample file

I enclose also the mediainfo output for the same file.

The frontend shows the videos but with no metadata at all and doesn't
play them
(nothing happens when I click on "Play"). On the other hand playing
recordings works OK.

I understand you mean this:
https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9446
Is there a chance I could use your binaries for a test? I don't have
yet enough
time and determination to compile from source to revert the patch.

Browsing in MythTV is definitely more convenient, so I am willing to dig
further.

Do you mean
mythbackend --verbose none,upnp
?
mythbackend --setverbose none,upnp gives some strange errors:
MythCoreContext: Connecting to backend server: 192.168.0.14:6543 (try 1 of 1)
MythSocket(893eca0:-1): Failed to connect to (127.0.0.1:6543)
Connection refused
Unable to connect to backend, verbose mask unchanged

I enclose the output of `mythbackend --verbose none,upnp`.

I somehow missed this posting, I will be glad to give it a try.
