Server Version#: 1.18.9.2578

Hey,  
Until recently my plex server was running fine and then I updated it to 1.18.9.2578 and it won’t transcode anymore and is giving me the generic error: “something went wrong playing your media. Please try again. Conversion failed. The transcoder exited due to an error” I made no changes that could’ve caused the error and I have searched online for an answer but couldn’t find one. Can someone please help me? (Log files are attached)  
Thanks,  
Lewys

EDIT: This happens on all of my devices when I try to watch something on Plex

I’m thinking of just deleting and doing a clean install
