Occasionally a user would get a "session died unexpectedly error". The problem is, it doesn't give them any actionable information. Should they refresh, and it will work immediately after that? Or is there a bigger problem, in which case they should come back to view their recording in an hour or so?

We should make it obvious which is which. In the case of the first one, if a refresh is all that's needed, we can save them a step by triggering the refresh for them.
