Describe the issue

While I am playing videos from the YouTube app to my TV via Chromecast, I often am adding other videos to various playlists I have on my account. Since the latest update, whenever I do this the video I just tried to add will automatically play on the TV, replacing what was already playing as well as the entire queue that had already been set. The new Chromecast queue is replaced with the playlist I just tried to add a video to.

See reproduction steps for better details.

Steps to reproduce

1. I have a queue of videos playing on my Chromecast that I added from this YouTube app. (Video queue A)
2. As Video queue A plays on my TV, I use the YouTube app to add another video “New Video” to a private playlist unrelated to Video Queue A. Let’s say this is my “Watch Later” list.
3. When “New Video” is added to “Watch Later”, the “New Video” then starts to play on my TV, and the “Watch Later” playlist replaces the Video Queue A.

Is anyone looking into this issue? I know you you guys are busy but just wondering if there has been at least an attempt to replicate the issue?

Despite to the very responsive and caring app developers 🙄, I managed to solve the problem by making the below tweaks in the A/B settings. I don't know which one did it but the problem went away after I made the changes and restarted the app.
