YouTube 2.06 low resolution (144-360)

[Julien]

YouTube App update to new version (2.06) a couple of days ago and seems to have a bug. Every single time I start a video it plays in a very low resolution of 144 to 360. If I change to Auto it just selects the low resolution. I can manually select 1080 and it will play in 1080 as long as I don't stop or play another video. It then reverts back to a low resolution. There is nothing I see in settings to default to 1080. Are others now having this problem with the updated YouTube App and is there a fix?

Plays fine on Mac and LG TV App (3ed pic).

LG App works fine.

I’ve been getting this too. it’s really frustrating to have to go manually pick HD.

Just get a cheap 4K streaming box that supports YouTube better instead of screwing around with Apple TV. The amount of time and effort/frustration isn’t worth it. I like my Apple TV, but the YouTube experience is so poor, I just use the built in YouTube app for the rare occasions that I watch YouTube on the big screen.
