I am looking for some guidance. I have my Vbox with UK satellite tuner. As expected, the default epg just gives now and next. As a learning experiment, I have obtained a test TV guide in xml format from Bleb TV with just 3 channels covering a few current days. I have this on my NAS drive

In Vbox, when I set it to get the epg from an XML file and point it at the XML file on the NAS drive, it plainly doesn't like it. In spite of actually displaying the file name on the NAS, it says it can't find the file

Switching to Kodi, in the Vbox Add On, I set the epg to point at the xml file on the NAS drive and set to take the epg from this rather than OTA. The epg on Kodi continues to show now and next

Adding the Kodi TV Guide Add On, and pointing this at my XML file, BINGO. It displays the data correctly but there is no option to set to record a future programme from this guide.

I added the beta Add On TV Guide Full Screen, and likewise it displays my XML epg correctly, but again there appears to be no way to set a future recording

Any advice?
