Did you put double quote characters as part of the path for the transcoder temp directory in server settings ?
I can see some transcoder errors indicating invalid data

which appears to relate to a tivotogo plugin

So are these errors only when using the plugin?
Could you provide evidence of it failing when streaming your own media ?
Issues with 3rd party plugins should be referred to the developer of the plugin. If there is a Plex Media Server issue then the developer can indicate what that is. But with support for Plugins being phased, i do not see any chance of getting problems fixed if the issue is specific to use of the Plugin.
So please let me know which time within the period covered by the logs, there a conversion failure when streaming your media
