YouTube 2sec black screen on Apple TV

[Edd70]

Make sure your ATV4K is set to 4KSDR then there should be no handshake issues at all, the only time there’ll be a black screen switch issue is for any videos that are HDR.
As the vast majority of videos are SDR then that should be quite a rarity.

Won‘t this require the user to frequently switch those settings as they use different apps?

No because that’s what Match Dynamic and Match Frame Rate is for which was causing the issue originally.
YouTube have now disabled framerate matching so as long as you’re set to 4KSDR the YouTube issues should now be fixed.
All other apps that require HDR/DV should change automatically as and when needed.

That’s seems to have worked, thanks. So this means that all YouTube content will now be 4KSDR or worse, correct?

The definite price to pay here is the ATV screensavers all look darker. I had it set to DolbyVision before. Not a huge deal but I hope YouTube fixes this issue.

No. It will be in SDR for SDR videos and HDR for HDR videos. Youtube respects the matching content range setting.

For what it's worth, I still have frame rate matching, confirmed as my TV will show the framerate being sent and by looking at the Stats for Nerds on the YouTube video. I have Premium from the Argentine loophole. So I have a black out for one second, seems much less than when I had ads a week ago. In any case, as soon as the video plays, I just skip back to the beginning. Doesn't bother me. I much prefer to have framerate matching as my TV video processing does an infinitely better job at smooth, judder free, rendering than the miserably bad YouTube app. I hope my case isn't merely a late roll out / app update of the frame rate matching removal. I'd hate to lose it, but maybe I'm an outlier.

It’s not a late rollout, you should find the update is available if you have a look in the App Store listing.
Best not update the app then if you don’t want things to change.
