Since upgrading to TV OS 16.4, I have had issues with Youtube such as delayed start of videos, the spinning buffering icon and sometimes missing thumbnails. All was fine until I installed 16.4. I'm using a 2022 4K TV unit.

Hey there blkbassenator,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We're happy to provide some assistance.
To clarify, is this issue specific to the YouTube app or all apps? This can help us isolate the issue. If this issue is specific to YouTube, make sure the app is updated:

You can also set Apple TV to automatically add apps that have an Apple TV version whenever you download apps on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch signed in to the same Apple ID.
1. Open Settingson Apple TV.
2. Go to Apps, then do either of the following:
* Turn automatic updates on or off: Select Automatically Update Apps.
* If Automatically Update Apps is turned off, you can select any app in the App Store to check if an update is available and manually update there.
* Turn automatic app installation on or off: Select Automatically Install Apps.
Note: Family members’ apps are not automatically added to the Home Screen.
For information about deleting apps, see Customize the Apple TV Home Screen.
If the issue persists, try restarting your Apple TV:
