A stored schedule entry describes what was broadcast; it does not by itself provide a replay recording or permission to access one.

Why this happens
The guide and the media serve different purposes. A player can display several past days of listings to help identify programmes even when no playable replay exists for those entries. A familiar title in yesterday’s row therefore is not evidence that every channel records everything shown. This distinction also explains why the live channel may work while selecting an older programme does nothing. The live source and replay source are different parts of the viewing workflow.
Look for the playback options actually offered for that entry rather than assuming that every row is a recording. Kodi’s live-TV playback guidance explicitly makes catch-up behavior dependent on provider support. Other players use different indicators, and some may show schedule data beyond the available replay window. Record the programme’s original time and the result of selection. Do not renew an app licence or reset the whole device merely because a historical guide row lacks a playable item. First establish whether replay is for that source and date.
A useful way to work through it
Distinguish the presence of a past listing from an actual replay action.
Compare a supported replay item separately from the live channel.
Keep the original programme date/time with any replay-access report.
