In your logs, I see where the scanner is processing a very large number of directories.
In total (total of all directories and subdirectories under all media top-level directories), do you have?
(Can be counted by find /top-dir1 /top-dir2 <add more here as needed> -type d -print | wc -l
The default max inotify directory count is either 8192 or 65536 (distro and kernel dependent)
I am asking this because the transcoder needs 2 inotify slots for the EAE.
This error will happen when all the inotify slots have been allocated to “update my library automatically when changes detected”.

The solution is simple:
- Count the number of directories in use
- Round up to the next integral multiple of 32768 (or 65536 if you have ample memory)
- Increase the default table size and restart the host.
