Couple of notes.

Summary: I think it has to do with a certain number of medias stored or
if there is more than will fit into a window and then you add one. I was
able to reproduce the issue on 2.4.6.

Details: I downloaded 2.4.6 onto a new laptop. It only had a couple of
video files and I added them one at a time while exiting, rerunning,
then checking the media for duplicates. After repeating a few times and
not seeing the issue, I notice it was 2.4.6 and my other laptop was
2.4.5 and I tried 2.4.2. So I thought oh, maybe it got fixed in 2.4.6,
so I downloaded it to my "broke" laptop, ran it, when asked if I wanted
to save database, I said yes, then I cleared out the duplicates. Exited
and reran, no duplicates. Then I added one media, exited, reran, checked
media. All existing duplicated, the new one did not. So now I thinking
what is different between the two. Well number of media and where they
are stored before I added them. So I copied them to a thumb drive and
added to the "non-broke" laptop. Added a couple, everything ok. Added
one at a time, till wham, it happen. I may be getting close to knowing
how to replicate the bug. I need to spend more time but wanted to pass
this along for the FYI.

Also, I am adding the media by selecting from the folder and dragging
into the media window.
