My understanding is that recordings from the Live TV menu will use the PVR backend to read the file (but I don't know a lot about this)
If the recordings directory is accessed from the Files menu, then the Pi will read the file directly.
The code path for these two cases is quite different, so if one behaves better than the other, then that may be interesting.
