Apple TV new iOS messed Youtube App

Hi:

When I upgraded to the new Apple TV OS, the Youtube app started having problems. Whenever I start a video it flickers and loses signal for a few seconds, then the ad plays, and it flickers and loses signal again, then the video plays. I contacted Apple Support and they told me it's Youtube's problem, they need to update their app. I contacted them with no response. Did anyone experience the same problem? check the video I attached for an example of what's going on.

Some users have found that it relates to a difference in frame rate of the primary YouTube-content and the frame rates of ads. That may cause a pause as the TV adjusts, if Apple TV is set to “Match Frame Rate”. These users found that it behaves better with that setting OFF, forcing a constant frame rate throughout.
