Describe the Bug

I get some "Malformed XML" error when trying to connect to Sunshine using the Moonlight client. This only happens after connect again after a previous session. i.e. it does not happen off a fresh restart but only intermittently after a previous session.

The only way to fix this issue is to restart Sunshine. Any ideas?
I can provide more logs the next time it happens but it has happened many times to me already. Happens on the latest beta version as well as the normal version.
