I'm not speaking to what I consider "real time," I'm speaking to how it is commonly used as a phrase . But given that...
Yes people do say "real time playback" with respect to video. Generally, however, that is only noteworthy to call out when its unusual. Such as "real time 16k playback."
So do you consider YouTube a real-time system? After all, images are moving on your screen "in real-time" from the user's perspective.
It seems to me that these are all streaming systems, and when the data is "live", then it's "live streaming".
Even colloquially, I hazard that "real-time" has some implication that there's some correspondance between your temporal reference frame and the original temporal reference frame. I think the engineering definition just made that correspondance precise.
