Notice the EAE (Dolby audio transcoder) is getting an I/O error

Is your transcoder temp on a network share / folder ?

Can you check the permissions to the transcoder temp directory to confirm the plex user (plex b y default) has write permission ?

I ask because you are not overflowing the Notify table ( notify will work )
