I built a DVR using a new Raspberry Pi, Channels' OS for the Pi, and a new hard drive a month ago. Most of the time I have something scheduled to record, a second recording of the same item shows up with a length between 0-2 minutes. It happens both on ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 channels. Fortunately, one of the two recordings is the full length recording of the program. Is there away to stop channels from creating the second, short recording?
Can you screenshot your local content settings
I've got mine setup on pi too and I think the /media folder as your local content is the issue. Here's how mine is setup:
If your dvr is located under /media then it'll scan it twice, once as the dvr and again as local content.

Also looks like a Time Zone setting is wrong.
If those were recorded at 9 & 10 PM last night (EST?), the date-time part of the imported recording filenames are 5 hours ahead (UTC?).
I’ve fixed the time zone issue in the settings. It’s now US-New York. I also deleted the media folder. That folder a few shows I had recorded on a windows pc before I ordered the Raspberry Pi . Hopefully these changes will fix it. Either way, thank you both for your suggestions.
Edit. I just checked after making these two changes and the 0-2 minutes recordings are now gone. Thanks again.
