Oh my god, its the Codecs folder issue… AGAIN.

Why has this not been fixed [for 5 whole years?](https://forums.plex.tv/t/delete-codecs-folder-on-upgrade/755526)

The solution is:

- Stop PMS
- Delete the folder in Plex’s appdata: Plex-Media-Server/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Codecs/
- Start PMS

Before and after logs attached. Looks like EasyAudioEncoder crashing out again. Surely this happens so often you should add a check for this?
