Answer 1

Looks like you are not fetching the movie ID from the server. This means that there is no way for you to know when a specific movie already exists in your DB, which is why it gets "duplicated".

To fix this simply make sure to fetch the movie ID from the server, too, along with all the other movie data. And remove the "autoGenerate = true" since you'll be using your own IDs.

This will ensure that when a movie that already exists in your DB is fetched from the server, there will be a conflict in the insert query, and since you used "(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)" it will update the row with the new data.
