On the above Samsung Smart TV, on the Youtube app, when a video is playing and I press arrow up (to see the progress bar) or Pause (same result), the progress bar area, including icons "Channel", "CC" and "More" now have a dark, almost black background. This must have happened last night (4 Nov 2021). I noticed it this morning. Before the background was transparent. Also, the name of the video and the name of the channel, in top-left of the video, now also have a black background.
What I've tried:
-- Reboot the TV by holding the power button until it restarts
-- Reinstall the Youtube app
Another small thing: every time I click to play a video, the word 'Loading' appears, whereas before the videos played straight away. The Pause icon on the screen is now much bigger and with black background.
Does anyone know what happened? A dodgy midnight update perhaps, that didn't go through QA? Just...
