[BUG] "Enable stremio results and local files" breaks my Home Videos library #52

As title says, I had a home videos library and all of a suddent it showed 0 out of 0 content. I thought it was permission issue, mapping issue, spent all day pulling my hair, even freaked out for a sec thinking it got wiped. Thanks to ChatGPT we figured it was this option because:

Your “Streaming” library (the one that points to those /T/gelato/movies and /T/gelato/series folders) is what’s breaking the other two (Home Videos and Photos + Family Videos).

Even though those libraries are technically separate, Gelato modifies Jellyfin’s global media scanning logic. When “Enable stremio results and local files” is turned on, it replaces Jellyfin’s normal file discovery handler with its own, which only looks inside its temporary /T/gelato/... paths. So all other libraries return “0 of 0” during scans, even if their folders are valid.

Is this expected behavior? Once turned off and restarted, all files appear again. Even Streamyfin + Infuse saw that library as empty. I created a "music video" library and another "home video & photos" lib with a different name and nothing solved this except unchecking that box.
