Hi Tyler,
Maybe the port issue is a by-product of some other error. Can you try running the transcoder manually? It will give you full output from that process and we can see if perhaps there is something else happening. To do so, run the EMS, and then in a different shell/terminal run :
(assuming you used the EMS installer)
/usr/bin/evo-avconv -i rtmp://localhost/live/StreamName -c:v libx264 -b:v 720k -c:a libfaac -b:a 32k -metadata streamName=DstStreamName -f flv tcp://localhost:6666/
