YouTube TV Updates are Here!

YouTube TV's latest update addresses several issues we’ve wanted to see fixed for a while, including 5.1 audio and video sync problems during Live playback. The lip sync issue was really driving us nuts as you could set the lip sync in your receiver or surround sound processor to what you saw on YouTubeTV, but then each time you restarted YouTube TV, you might find your audio a little ahead or behind. As you can imagine, this is a huge pain. So we are extremely excited about this update release that will be rolling out over the next few weeks, which should virtually eliminate this issue. If you see lip sync issues on any of your video sources, navigate to our lip sync calibration video on YouTube, linked below, and it will give you a test track to nail your lip sync perfectly.

More Updates:

• Many first-gen 4K Apple TV devices that experienced crashes during long playbacks should see fewer disruptions as YouTube states the issues have been addressed.
• Another patch will look to solve problems linked to Live playback, specifically, but no word on when users can expect this one.
• YouTube TV teased improvements coming for its multiview feature and video quality across the platform. 
• YouTube TV's Library will be updated since users gave feedback about new problems. YouTube TV stated there are plans to solve issues with the Library's Catch Up relevancy of favorites, incorrect Watch badging, and properly addressing the order of any Recently Recorded entries.
• The DVR function has been fixed and should be working for all users.

In addition to the fixes, some new features are being teased for the platform. YouTube TV teased improvements coming for its multiview feature and video quality across the platform. The multiview feature launched in early access back in March for a select few users but is still expected to roll out to the general public as we move through the year.

The May update also reiterates NFL Sunday Ticket's unlimited simultaneous streaming ability, which was detailed late last month. While this feature is only possible while at home, users would gain two additional streams on their phones while out and about.
