Looks like wininnit.exe is using port 49152 for me.  I read that you can make windows use different ports, but is there anyway to get plexconnect to run on a different port?

Try rebooting your machine, it should sort out your issue.

Nope no dice, same thing, odd that it's wininnit.exe binding it.

ok I found a fix I just did a netstat -a and looked for a 491xx port that was open, for me I chose 49160, I then went into the plexconnectxml folder and edited the dnsserver.py file and where it says port 49152 I just changed that to 49160 and it's all working now.  We can mark this as closed and hopefully it will help others if they come across this bug.
