Description of the bug

I am not sure if the cause of this is Swiftfin or if it is a hardware issue with my Apple TV. I do want to open this issue to see if others have had the same or similar problem. I have noticed that if I watch a episode of a show, pause it, and put my Apple TV into sleep while swiftfin is open, the next time I try to turn on my Apple TV it is frozen and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in to work (like the Apple TV won't turn on with the remote at all and has to be rebooted to work). This doesn't happen immediately. For example if I pause a show and then put my Apple TV to sleep and turn it back on right away, this doesn't happen. It usually happens after a few hours (like when I go to bed at night). I am not sure if this is a hardware issue with my Apple TV or if it is caused by some kind of memory leak in swiftfin. The content I have been watching is mkv formatted and consists of essentially dragon ball episodes. This does not occur when watching or pausing movies. I want someone else to try and reproduce the issue. If you need the particular media files, feel free to request it and I can email it to someone testing for (not posting here for copyright reasons). I haven't encountered this issue with any other apps on my Apple TV but I am open to the idea that my unit might be faulty. It could also be something to do with the run time and the video player as dragon ball episodes aren't the standard 22 minute runtime. If you need logs and can give me the instructions to provide them, I am willing to do so.

Reproduction steps

Open Swiftfin
Select tv show (specifically this only happens with tv shows)
Watch a few minutes of it and pause it.
Put Apple TV to sleep for a few hours
Try turning on the Apple TV again and it won't turn back on.
