Watched Status Not Updating (NFO or Trakt) in mySQL Database

Hey Guys -

I recently migrated over to using a mySQL database instead of individual DBs. When building it, I set everything up from scratch again. One thing I depend on is Trakt to sync things between different services I use like Plex. Even though I set everything up to import from NFO files plus installed Trakt, nothing is marked as watched. I searched online, but most of what I found wasn't relevant or really old.

Any suggestions? My advancedsettings.xml is below Thanks!
