Randomly failing Sync on newest beta "Transcoder failed"

I just started having a problem syncing random movies and tv shows. Some sync fine and other come back with an error “The transcoder encountered an error”.

I don’t have any problems transcoding those same videos in the player but the syncing fails. I tried on multiple devices. Some running beta client and others running stable. I have a P2000 and a 9900K. I am running the newest server beta.Plex Media Server Logs_2019-11-24_13-32-42.zip (6.0 MB)

Finding error: No Temp Transcoder path ??

That’s really weird. I just tested that, its transcoding to my ram just fine. I tested transcoding two movies and it went right into ram without a problem. It only happens during sync and only to some movies randomly.
