plex conversion failed. The transcoder exited due to an error

This occurred yesterday. I notice similar errors have bee occurring for years, so this seems to be a generic message.

Tried rolling back to previous 2 versions of PMS but problem still there with Plex media and Plex music.

Any news on the current situation. At the moment, I cannot use Plex at all.

Thanks.
