Recent-ish Apple TV OS Upgrade causing driver to disconnect

Dave(s),


It appears that the most recent ATV update (of about a month or so ago) has caused the Apple TV Driver to disconnect.  This time its not a permanent disconnect, If I click the Apple TV provided remote the driver will reconnect.  Here is the output from the log I receive when I try to initially run a command.
