Scanner is adding Featurettes from a movie as a separate title #515

Description

Platform

Operating system and version: Windows 11 Pro 24H2
Plex version: 1.41.7.9823

Expected Behavior

I have placed a Featurettes and Trailers folder alongside the movie file for this specific title: Ghost in the Shell (1995). I am using anidb forcing, as I usually do for movies. I'm expecting that it would have the Featurettes and Trailers in a separate section on the title like it does in a standard Plex library.

Current Behavior

It is creating a separate title in the library named Featurettes with seasons that contains the featurettes for this movie. The trailers are nowhere to be seen, no in the Featurettes title or the proper Ghost in the Shell title. See photographs. This happened to me with other series, notably Dragon Ball Z, and I just gave up and have kept the files in an Extras folder so they will be ignored, but I would really like for this to work as it seems it is supposed to. As a note, I have never got Featurettes or other Plex support extras folders to work in my Anime library using ASS.

Steps to Reproduce

Here is my file folder structure:

00_Media
|--03_Anime
|  |--Movies
|  |  |--4K.Lossless
|  |  |  |--Ghost in the Shell [anidb-61]
|  |  |  |  |--Ghost in the Shell (1995) [2160p.DV.HDR].mkv
|  |  |--1080p.Lossless
|  |  |  |--Ghost in the Shell [anidb-61]
|  |  |  |  |--Featurettes
|  |  |  |  |  |--Accessing Section 9 - 25 Years Into the Future.mkv
|  |  |  |  |  |--Ghost in the Shell Premium Video.mkv
|  |  |  |  |  |--Landscapes & Dreamscapes - The Art & Architecture of Ghost in the Shell.mkv
|  |  |  |  |  |--The Making of Ghost in the Shell.mkv
|  |  |  |  |--Trailers
|  |  |  |  |  |--English Trailer.mkv
|  |  |  |  |  |--Japanese Trailer.mkv
|  |  |  |  |--Ghost in the Shell (1995) [1080p].mkv
|  |--Series

Additionally, and somewhat strangely, there's no title log being generated for Ghost in the Shell. But I have the root scanner log, so I hope that helps:
