Rebooting Apple TV causes myServer to lose connection

I'm not sure if it's just me or if others have noticed this as well, but whenever I have to reboot the AppleTV that causes myServer to lose connection to the AppleTV.  And it won't connect again until I reboot myServer.

Since no one has answered yet, let me ask a question: Is your Apple TV and your MyServer on fixed LAN IP addresses? I had this problem a lot with my home automation when devices could not reconnect to their server. Once I gave the server and all of my IP home automation devices fixed IP addresses (I use the IP reservation feature on my router), those problems disappeared.

Yes, all my devices have static IP addresses. And like I mentioned a reboot of MyServer will fix things up so it's not a networking issue.

David/Dave - Any thoughts on this issue?  For some reason my AppleTV has needed to be rebooted a number of times over the last few weeks so it's become more of an issue for me.

From the log I'm seeing these before the AppleTV is rebooted:
20/09/2024 08:24:37.24 · DEBUG · Server.doCommand - AV|54~SendKey~select 
20/09/2024 08:24:37.24 · DEBUG · AppleTV.doCommand - Cmd=[54~SendKey~select] Client=[mymoonlightphones-fx-yztb] 
20/09/2024 08:24:37.24 · DEBUG · AppleTV.TX: ATV_4K - select 
20/09/2024 08:24:37.24 · DEBUG · AppleTV.RX: ATV_4K - OK 
20/09/2024 08:24:39.24 · DEBUG · AppleTV.PLAYING: ATV_4K -   Media type: Unknown^Device state: Idle^      Repeat: Off^     Shuffle: Off 

And then after the reboot I see this:
20/09/2024 08:27:30.27 · DEBUG · Server.doCommand - AV|54~SendKey~select 
20/09/2024 08:27:30.27 · DEBUG · AppleTV.doCommand - Cmd=[54~SendKey~select] Client=[mymoonlightphones-fx-yztb] 
20/09/2024 08:27:30.27 · DEBUG · AppleTV.TX: ATV_4K - select 
20/09/2024 08:27:30.27 · DEBUG · AppleTV.RX: ATV_4K -  
20/09/2024 08:27:39.27 · DEBUG · AppleTV.PLAYING: ATV_4K -
