What does Player recording mean?
Player recording stores media for later playback through a feature implemented by the app or related system. It requires enough storage, accessible media, suitable device behaviour and the necessary right to make the recording.

Recording and watching another source may also involve separate active media requests, which matters for connection limits. Test a short authorised recording and replay it before depending on a longer unattended task.
