Video/Audio Stutter at start of YouTube video

I have Apple TV 3rd gen connected to Samsung QN90B via high-speed HDMI cable (Chroma 4:2:2 is enabled).

When I start a YouTube video (on the YouTube app) there is a stutter/bank-screen/no-audio for one a brief moment after about 1 sec into the video. The video plays flawlessly after the brief stutter.

The problem goes away when I turn "Match Dynamic Range" setting OFF. But I would like to keep this setting On.

How can this problem be fixed (without turning "Match Dynamic Range" setting OFF)?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

Hello sufferchand,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. You've done a great job of isolating the behavior to the Match Dynamic Range setting.

As mentioned in Turn on Match Dynamic Range or Match Frame Rate on your Apple TV, "Apple TV will attempt to automatically determine which dynamic ranges or frame rates your television supports. You might experience a blank screen or flickering as your television switches between formats."

Take care.

No audio from YouTube for the past week. Every other app works. Solution was to turn Match Dunamic Range off in “Match Content”. Dumb fix
