A quick comment:  As far as I know, no recent changes in MythTV have 
affected the problem in the subject line, but I now find that VLC can 
play these recordings via the MythTV UPnP server *and does display and 
use the timing info*  - at least on my el7 box.  Attempts to do the same 
in VLC/Fedora 32 quit immediately, and in one case apparently caused a 
logout.

I have better options than UPnP/VLC for playback, but it looks as if the 
duration info *can* be served by Myth; the TV isn't using it, but does 
so when served by twonky...
