Can’t get Chorus2 to play NextPVR recordings

I tried a number of times to play my NextPVR recordings via the web interface (Chorus2) /Kodi with no success. After searching forums and other google searches I have concluded that it is a transcoding (or lack thereof) issue with Kodi.

Since I CAN play recordings via the NextPVR web interface I’m puzzled why the NextPVR recordings cannot be played via the Kodi web interface.
I’m a huge fan of Kodi and would love to use it as a frontend exclusively to play these recordings rather than dealing with the NextPVR UI/web interface.

Can anyone clear this up for me?
