tvOS 16 - Anyone Install yet?

Closed captioning has been more or less broken since tvOS 15. It turns on automatically in several apps. In HBOMax it turns itself on several times during a program (any time a “skip” button appears).
Guess that’s going to be a problem for me since all secondary users on my Apple TV are my accounts for different country’s app stores…glad I haven’t updated yet.
This only happens if you have “match frame rate” enabled in your Apple TV settings

I keep warning people around here NOT to listen to Apple CS or posters and go through a full RESET. That is almost always a total waste of time. A restart is often a good idea, but a full RESET means you have to re-enter a lot of information and re-sign in to a lot of apps, and even reinstall many apps. To restart, simply unplug the ATV for about 20 seconds then plug it back in. Chances are very high that the issues we are seeing currently are tied to tvOS 16 and not to our ATV devices, so a RESET will do nothing for that anyway.
Philo TV app still has multiple issues under tvOS 16.
- Flaky, sometimes non-responsive interface
- App shuts down and returns to ATV main screen
- App TV guide doesn't always update without restarting app
My Sony TV started doing this after I upgraded to tvOS 16. On the AppleTV, I have Match Framerate turned on, so I'm used to a very slight pause when the TV switches frame rates. But now this occurs every time I start watching a new YouTube video. Like every time, which never happened before. Hopefully an app update will fix.
I called Apple and spoke to a tech about 'rolling back' to tvOS 15.6 (like my bedroom ATV4K which still works perfectly) and he was clueless. I was thinking about taking it to the local Apple store and trying to exchange it...
BTW, Plex pushed a .1 update that didn't fix my problems. As a precaution I turned off system and app updates on my working unit!
w5jck - been at this a long time too. But mostly x86 DOS/Win systems. The M1 made me a convert!

Have this, too. It appears, based on what I'm seeing on my LG C1, to have to do with flipping on and off of Dolby Vision for content matching. YouTube seems to be trying to abide by the content matching rules when it really can't or shouldn't. YouTube and Dolby Vision content matching never really seem to have played nicely before and sure aren't now. I haven't fully tested to see if I am right by the by; just going off the notifications I see.
EDIT: Completely missed the second page of comments where this was addressed. D'oh!
that really doesn’t explain why I have to “update my Apple ID” in order for the Apple TV to do frame rate matching.
What we are saying about matching frame rate Apple TV setting is in response to the poster who said “My parents use YouTube daily and are not experiencing this”. It has nothing to do with updating Apple ID.
I was also confused by this; why on earth would frame rate affect logging in?
I looked back at the quote to your post and it seems it was some kind of glitch. The quote was attributed to you but it was a mix of your post with someone else's post, all run together. Your post was about logging in and the other post was about YouTube.
The thing is, I've had matching frame rate/content ON forever. Under tvOS 15.7 (or whatever it was, the latest pre-16 version) the transition between YT ads and videos was minimal and often not noticeable. As soon as I installed tvOS 16 it got exponentially worse. So the fault is in tvOS or the need for YT to address a change in code to tvOS. There is definitely an issue here...and no it isn't working as designed.
If you set your output format to 60hz and not 59.94, you can leave frame rate matching on, and it will not switch as often. But if you don't have Premium, then you will likely get switching for ads.
Since updating all apps will crash for no reason. Especially, plex and tablo. Very disappointing update and I have to say apple isn’t what it once was regarding software updates. I knew better and shouldn’t have updated.
They used to deliver simpler software. As they try to deliver more complexity, their inadequacies become more apparent.
