How does channel DVR determine if something is already in the library recorded or imported ... I am seeing duplicates.... It is recording the season all over again on the same Channels?
By ProgramID
In the Options dropdown next to the recordings, select View Details then click the File ID number.
Look for ProgramID
example "ProgramID":"EP000031631011"
If they are different for the 2 same episodes, it's a guide data issue.
If they are the same for the 2 same episodes, it's a Channels DVR issue.
Unless you somehow marked them as not recorded and then recorded them again.

Exactly the same.
Only difference I can see is one was recorded from an HDHR tuner
"ChannelNumber":"808"
"DeviceID":"13147C7B"
the other from an M3U custom channel.
"ChannelNumber":"808"
"DeviceID":"M3U-OTA"
But that shouldn't cause the duplicate recordings.

Good eye ... true ... maybe you are on to something? maybe the developers can look into this.
Thanks
Are there more upcoming on your schedule?
Please look under DVR > Schedule
If you pause and resume the pass does the schedule change?
No

Did you happen to record any episodes previously where the guide data had a generic description and you edited the metadata on them?
No I do not bother with Edit Metadata yet ... All I do is record to an SSD then move to secondary storage. The only features I use is Library Collections and Favorites. Of course, Client Settings.
I am thinking maybe is that POP shows the same episode back to back ? Maybe it screws with DVR logic.
Back-back or overlapping doesn't matter. It uses the ProgramID of the episode to prevent duplicate recordings. If the same episode was aired multiple times, it would only record the first one.
Was just thinking you may have recorded multiple airings where the guide data had no Season number, Episode number or Episode title. The description would be the generic show description.
They would appear in /dvr/programs with the SHow ProgramID SH029715140000 instead of the EPisode ProgramID like EP029715140001
The DVR will not record multiples of an EPisode ProgramID like EP029715140001, but will record multiples of a SHow ProgramID like SH029715140000.
Looks like I will be getting duplicates for all recorded episodes ... better to have 2 than none ... I will just chalk it up as being investigated.

And no matter how hard we tried, we could never get Channels DVR to do that.
The ones that are marked as watched not duplicated are scheduled. Something about POP and Channels DVR first TVE now duplicates ... 
Can you search /dvr/programs output for those upcoming program ids to see if the DVR thinks they were already recorded before or not
Yes it shows recorded ,,,,
"EP029715140001":"recorded-6248"
ID 14496 does not show in log. the duplicate.
