Replay selection and guide timing may not line up precisely, and the available replay media can have its own start, end and seeking behavior.

Why this happens
Selecting a programme from a guide involves schedule information as well as media retrieval. If the guide time is shifted, the programme ran differently from its schedule or the replay route uses different boundaries, the item can begin with the previous show or stop before the expected ending. A successful start does not establish that the whole programme is aligned. This is a different observation from the live channel failing to connect at all.
Record the selected listing’s date, start time and the point where the replay actually begins or stops. Compare whether nearby programmes show the same offset before applying a device-wide correction. Kodi’s live-TV playback settings illustrate that replay continuation can also depend on the chosen action and provider support, so automatic next-programme behavior should not be assumed. Keep seeking and end-of-item behavior separate in the report. A useful example describes the missing or extra minutes rather than repeatedly reopening the same replay and changing unrelated network settings.
A useful way to work through it
Record the guide’s stated start/end and the replay’s actual opening/ending content.
Compare a neighboring replay to establish whether the mismatch is consistent.
Keep replay continuation and manual seeking behavior separate from live-channel tests.
