Odd video file detection with Home videos

I tried creating an extras library for some of my movies which I've set to the Home videos and Photos type and for some reason, one of them is missing a bunch in emby.

The folder structure looks like this:

Extras
└── Drag Me to Hell/
    ├── Interviews/
    │   ├── Curses! - interview with actress Lorna Raver.mkv
    │   ├── Hitting All The Right Notes - interview With Composer Christopher Young.mkv
    │   ├── Interviews with director Sam Raimi, actress Alison Lohman, and actor Justin Long.mkv
    │   └── To Hell and Back - interview with actress Alison Lohman.mkv
    ├── Promo Material/
    │   ├── Theatrical Trailer.mkv
    │   └── TV Spots.mkv
    ├── Production Video Diaries.mkv
    └── Still Gallery.mkv

And emby in folders view(same with Videos view) is only showing the last 3 and no folders, even though TV Spots is located into one:

There's no filters enabled, everything is pretty much at defaults and the other stuff in Extras, the root library folder, is displaying everything as it is, subfolders and all.

I'm using Emby 4.7.13.0 from the package manager on FreeBSD 13.2.

Every file and folder has the read permission for everybody and there's no errors in the log if I do a library scan on that specific library:

There's nothing different with the undetected videos so I'm really not sure what's happening here.

HI, this is a tricky case. The Interviews folder gets dropped due to being sort of a reserved keyword in our system.

The good news though is that I believe in the upcoming 4.8 server release if you were to setup a brand new library, I don't think this would happen.

No, that one should be fine, but in the 4.7 release any video with trailer in the name will get treated as a trailer and not shown in the main listing. This has also been improved in the upcoming 4.8 release.
