So, I have NScriptHelper working and can change the NextPVR database to point to the .mp4 on my Linux server and then delete the .ts file if I choose to.
Now the NextPVR Roku app and Kodi can play the mp4 recording and are happy without the .ts file but the NextPVR android client and the web browser only play the audio. From previous discussion in this thread I gather this is because NextPVR is direct playing rather than transcoding the .mp4 file to the browser.
I also have a Jellyfin server running on Linux and I can play the same .mp4 recordings in the browser with both audio and video. Jellyfin indicates from the "Player Data" button that it is transcoding the .mp4 file (both audio and video) so I guess that is why it can play it.
