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.

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

Cheers

Steve
