Is anyone else having issues with the new YouTube app streaming at no more than 1Mbps and not evening hitting HD resolution?

I have a 100Mbps fibre connection with ATV4 connected via Ethernet. Prior to the new YouTube app being rolled out I had no quality issues with streaming from YouTube and still have no issues with OTHER APPS.

However ever since the new YouTube app was rolled out I have noticed very low bitrate streaming. The same videos on my LG TV stream in 4K almost instantly (yes I know 1080p is the most the ATV4 will do but most time I am stuck on 360p).

Here are some photos of the same video playing on both LG and ATV4 with the “stats for nerds” switched on.

ATV app:

Anybody else seeing this or have any idea what might be going on?

Cheers

Steve
