Sporadic crashes of Emby for Apple TV 2.0.7

[Desiato 2]

Hi,

I've been using Emby on a Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) for several months.  Sporadically, I experience crashes when starting a stream whether it be from stored content or Live TV content.  I cannot determine any pattern to when the app crash will happen - only that it happens at the start of the streaming session.  The Emby app completely closes and then I can go in and start the same movie or live TV channel again and it will work fine.  I'm currently running the latest Apple TV client and the latest server beta, but it also occurs on the latest stable server release.  I'm happy to help get to the bottom of this.  Below is the server log for a live TV stream as the client crashed.  My guess is that it isn't very helpful other than indicating that the server lost communication with the client.  Very much appreciate any help.
