VLC has problems playing elementary H.264 streams that you are recording, probably due to a lack of timestamping information. You could try using ffplay instead, which ought to work fine.
On your Pi 5, try creating a .mkv or .mp4 file directly using the "--output $directory_path$pi_name.$dt_stamp.CHPT3_PILOT.mkv" command line argument instead. These containers embed timestamps with the encoded frames, and should play fine in VLC. Note that --quality 17 does nothing for video streams. Instead, you need to use (for example) "--bitrate 10mbps" for a 10 megabit/s encode rate.
