This is the issue that was investigated in another forum thread and summarized here Transcoder crashes on access errors - #27 by sa2000
Basically we are running out of tcp ip ports and has been seen to happen when scanning large movies libraries - with more than 4000 movies
It was a change in curl that resulted in us using 6 ports for every movie and the ports cannot be reused till TIME_WAIT expires.
There is an open issue with our development team.
Do you have large movies libraries ?
It is possible that the new Movie Scanner avoids this issue - see the forum preview release New Plex Media Server movie scanner and agent preview
