Scanner is adding Featurettes from a movie as a separate title
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:

Isn't local media assets agent from Plex managing this?

Apologies for the delayed reply.
I would have assumed so but it doesn't appear on the page for the media like it does in the rest of my Plex libraries. Based on the scanner logs, it looks like ASS is doing something with it, but I don't know why. All I know is that this has been my experience whenever I try to add extras for any show/movie in my Anime library using ASS.
In my other libraries that use the standard Plex scanners, Extras function as intended. I'm happy to provide any more info/resources necessary to figure this one out.
I can ensure you there is no code for extras in ASS that i coded and to my knowledge... Wouldn't know where to start...

Interesting... There's still no scanner log for Ghost in the Shell in my ASS Scanner Logs folder which is really bizarre. But the Movies.scanner.log says this:

Maybe that provides some insight into what's happening? I'm curious: do standard Plex extras folders like Featurettes etc. work without issue on your end in your own personal library?
Thanks in advance!
