error connection to service named rtcreportingd using AVPlayer on MacOS

Question

I have a very simply MacOS app where I am trying to use AVPlayerView/AVPlayer on MacOS to play a small mp4 from a remote url.

I constantly get errors about a connection to service com.apple.rtcreportingd. Here's a full log of the errors I get:

The playback seems to be working ok, but still I'd like to know how to make it stop. It's hiding any other debug message I am printing out.

The code to setup the AVPlayer is pretty straightforward. I have a NSCollectionViewItem which has an AVPlayerView inside of it. Then, I set the .player property on the view using something like this:

if let previewUrl = URL(string: "https://url-to-an-mp4") {
    playerView?.player = AVPlayer(url: previewUrl)
}

I googled extensively, there's not much info about rtcreportingd out there.
