Not able to watch recordings in progress

[giejay]

I'm not able to watch recordings which are in progress for various clients (Chrome, Firefox, Mac OS Jellyfin Player). As soon as I stop the recording and play the same file it works fine. The response when playing a recording which is in progress:

There's not much in the jellyfin logs when the playback fails. Even with debug turned on. It simply triggers the probe command:

One of the big differences Im seeing is "Type". Its "Recording" while its in recording and changes to Movie/Default when done. Next to that, the type of the MediaSource in the first JSON is "Placeholder", while its "Video" in the second which does play correctly. MediaStreams is completely empty in the first JSON.

Any idea why its impossible to play recordings in progress?
