New episodes immediately marked as watch on import

[PokestarFan]

When a new episode of some series are imported, they are immediately marked as watched. Even if I go and unmark the episode as watched, the next episode imported is also automatically marked as watched. This doesn''t happen on all series, and only seemed to happen to series in my MAL, since I did try and use the Ani-sync plugin's "Update Jellyfin with provider progress" feature, which just marked all seasons of every slow on my "watching" list as watched. however, I had assumed this would only be for existing episodes, and new episodes would be unwatched by default, but that does not seem to be the case. Is there any way to fix this? Is the fix moving the folders out of the library folder and then bringing them back in?

Here's an example log entry:

Most likely an issue with the Trakt plugin. Disable it and check if the issue still occurs.
