more analytics + refactor
- passes player with time to start (until we move this api to watchman)
- supports livestream metrics for buffering
- fixes bug with buffering over 10 second period
- less head calls by moving to videojs-events
* review fixes
## Issue
I couldn't find where the i18n went because the "events" refactor is just as confusing as the original -- unrelated things are still lumped together in a file.
Also, factoring based on events isn't useful -- it is features that drive what events are needed, not the other way around. This forces features to register events here, and do other things elsewhere? It will be more intuitive to have a one-file-per-feature structure.
## Change
Use existing frameworks to encapsulate things to manageable units/features:
(1) the React useEffect files (can be used isolate out React features like 'tap-to-mute' handling).
(2) the videojs plugins framework.
- and some changes to activeLivestream redux since it would return undefined if fetching and no claim, so now it returns null when no activeLivestream is found
* Redesign threadline and fetching state
- threadline goes right below channel avatar, mimicking reddits implementation, has a increase effect on hover and is slimmer, creating more space for comments on screen
- fetching state now replaces show/hide button, also mimicking reddit, and now says that it is loading, instead of a blank spinner, and also improves space a bit
* Redesign comment threads
- Allow for infinite comment chains
- Can go back and forth between the pages
- Can go back to all comments or to the first comment in the chain
- Some other improvements, which include:
- add title on non-drawer comment sections (couldn't see amount of comments)
- fix Expandable component (would begin expanded and collapse after the effect runs, which looked bad and shifted the layout, now each comments greater than the set length begins collapsed)
- used constants for consistency
* Fix replying to last thread comment
* Fix buttons condition (only on fetched comment to avoid deleted case)
* Fix auto-scroll
* Bring back instant feedback for Show More replies
* Improve thread back links
- Now going back to all comments links the top-level comment for easier navigation
- Going back to ~ previous ~ now goes back into the chain instead of topmost level
* Clear timeouts due to unrelated issue
* Fix deep thread linked comment case and more scroll improvements
* More minor changes
* Flow
* Fix commentList tile style
* Fix long channel names overflowing on small screens
* More scroll changes
* Fix threadline
* Revert "Fix long channel names overflowing on small screens"
This reverts commit e4d2dc7da5861ed8136a60f3352e41a690cd4d33.
* Fix replies fetch
* Revert "Fix replies fetch"
This reverts commit ec70054675a604a7a5f3764ba07c36bf7b0f49c8.
* Cleanup and make smooth
* Always use linked comment on threads
* Cleanup
* Higlight thread comment
* Fix comment body styles

- consolidate cases that need to auto set an active channel (like edit page) into channelSelector component
- also for consistency since some components would do it with button click and others on page mount
- prevent clear function on those pages (kind of a manual process to insert each page into the router condition)
- reverts active channel functionality back to how it was previously, making the default channel simply a sync fallback and removing all complexity and confusion
From the previous commit, we are now showing toasts in the reverse order (latest to oldest).
Next, extend the "hide snack" timer to handle multiple snacks. It will dismiss them one by one, restarting itself until no more toasts.
Show a stacked GUI when there are multiple toasts.
Users can still manually dismiss the toasts.
Several issues with the clamping behavior:
- Problems trying to sync with the activeChannel setting.
- Corner-cases like unable to un-react because the comment and react channel was different; global mods not be able to change channels to do certain actions.
Just let the user know what are the channel(s) that they used to comment previously in the Toast.
- this way, you can choose an active channel for something like commenting but when that component is unmounted, you always go back to the default channel (like leaving page)
- Moved from reach/ui to material/ui menu components, because reach ui wouldn't work with 2 menus
- This channel selector stores the default on settings
- setActiveChannelIfNotSet was deprecated, if the account has channels, it will always return a channel even if there is no active channel or stored channel
- Make the chapters button appear consistently.
- Previously, it was only appearing for Original.
- We still hide it for mobile, as per previous explanation.
- Changed the Chapters button position and popup aesthetics.
- Deemed not useful in mobile, unless you have an S-pen that can hover.
- The chapters button (that invokes the chapters popup) would make more sense in Mobile, but we need to deal with the limited controlbar space first (e.g. overflow menu system)
- Corrected flow definitions.
- Properly differentiate between "not yet fetched" and "no membership" as "undefined" and "<empty string>", respectively. There are GUI elements that need to know the unfetched case.
## New behavior:
- If you have commented on a claim before, the channel selector will be clamped to that channel.
- There might be more than 1 channel if commented in the past.
- This includes blocked comments, i.e. if the creator blocked you, you will not see your comment, yet your channel-selector is clamped to the used channel.
- EXCEPTION: you can use other channels if it's your own claim (for now).
## Approach
- Run `comment.List` over all your channels on the specific content. This covers nested replies and pagination (sweet).
- So, if the total is non-zero, mark that channel(s) as having commented on the claim.
- Only fetch this once per content claim.
- In the comment channel-selector, clamp the list to this value.
Completely remove any need to update things on our side when a Category is added or changed.
Will need to inform homepage owners to directly translate the 'label' field, so we don't need to use our translation system.
## Issue

> "Content Type: Any" uses `claim_type: [streams, reposts, channels]`, with `stream_types: ["video", "audio"]`, so channels aren't returned, and not any types of streams either. Probably shouldn't have `stream_type` filter there.
(This also happens in categories, but maybe wanted in there?)
## Root
Due to this line in `ClaimListDiscover`:
`defaultStreamType = SIMPLE_SITE ? [CS.FILE_VIDEO, CS.FILE_AUDIO] : undefined, // add param for DEFAULT_STREAM_TYPE`
Wanted to check if this fallback was meant for Categories only or any list, but the git history is not preserved because Odysee was a squashed single-commit back in the `SIMPLE_SITE` days.
## Change
Will assume it was meant for Category Page only and moved that line from the component and into the client-side.
This also means that clients of `ClaimListDiscover` without `streamTypes` and `defaultStreamTypes` defined will no longer have `stream_types: ['video', 'audio']` as the automatic fallback (they must define `defaultStreamTypes` themselves). I think this modal is clearer -- it doesn't make sense to have filters like "content=any" but overridden quietly to `video|audio`.
## Ticket
31: "quality selector not available on safari browsers"
## Notes
The quality selector isn't populated in some Apple products -- a known issue with videojs as the platform doesn't relay the info.
But it seems like only iPhone is affected, so let's enable the override for all platforms except iPhone.
## Ticket
1368
> can we remove the repost filter option on categories outside of wildwest/following?
## Approach
Using `context` to:
- reduce the amount of files that need to change.
- avoid prop-drilling.
- allow the ability to dynamically define the Filter's allowed values in a contained manner.
Clients that don't need customization simply does not need to wrap their component with the context.
The context only contains Content Type for now, but can include anything that future clients need to dynamically adjust.
## Ticket
Part of 1368 ("if user overrides the category homepage language with a different language setting + use 'search this language' option, use that instead. It's not typical this will happen, but probably expected.")
## Change
- Refactored to move more logic into `resolveLangForClaimSearch`
- Replaced the ternary version to make it more readable (hopefully).
- Inverted the language filter precedence by honoring the user's setting first.
- Note: for both User and Category, URLSearchParams will always take precedence.
## Ticket
1358 - flicker on livestream tile when viewers updates
## Change
Defining the component that way results in unique Card wrapper on each resolve, so everything gets torn down and re-mounted, causing the flicker.
There is a css side-effect though: the tags changed from red to black. But tags are inconsistent through the app ... sometimes black, sometimes red (I think it should always be red + smaller font from the body).
Re-used lots of Anthony's code + made fixes to a few areas including the publish page.
a
new videojs
video.js@7.18.1 + http-streaming@2.14.2
remove console log
Mainly only useful for Wild West, which doesn't use `channel_ids` (otherwise, the homepage maintainer could just exclude the id from `channel_ids` directly).
- Router: no need to specify the route directly anymore (will come from definition), but we still need to disable it for certain regions.
- Sidebar: no need to custom addition anymore.
## Ticket
`odysee-homepages :: 1318`
It was previously done in `GetLinkData`, but accidentally removed in d854a992.
It is DRY-er to do it here rather than at the client side.
Also needed to filter in the homepage-sort dialog, so move the definition to a constant array.
## Ticket
1308, 1363 - "Hide/skip "removed" recsys entries"
## Change
Ported the `isAbandoned` handling from the list-layout to the tile-layout (yet another grumble on why tile vs. list is not just a css difference but an entire different component).
## Misc
Because "ClaimList + tileLayout" was showing abandoned claims by default, search around to see if it was still needed. I think only collectionsListMine would require that (or maybe not, can remove later).
It was meant to be general-purpose in the first-place, but ended being tied to ads due to time constraint and also bad documentation.
No functional change.
## Issue
??
## Behavioral Changes
- Use `claim_search` instead of `claim_list` to retrieve all all own claims with the same name (case-insensitive).
- Caveat: annonymous posts will be excluded.
- When a clash occurs, there is a possibility that we have multiple existing entries (e.g. "xxX", "xXx"). Since we don't know which one is best to fall back, I removed the "edit" button for this and replaced with a simpler text
## Code Note
- If not mistaken, the rest of the code still needs `selectMyClaimForUri` to be case-sensitive, so augment the selector to support both through an optional parameter.
As of this commit, only the Channel Page is fetching the data through the new API, which has the viewer count correctly populated.
For both "0" and "undefined", continue to show as "LIVE".
Just like ClaimListDiscover, stop `claim_search`-ing if the result is a failure (null).
Leaving the placeholder tiles as is for now. Can show the timed out message like ClaimListDiscover -- just toggle SHOW_TIMEOUT_MSG.
## Issue
Desktop 7022: i18n: Notification title localization lost
## Approach
The current code breaks up the string into an array of strings, so i18n is somewhat impossible.
Since 99%¹ of dynamic notifications come with a `dynamic` property for all the replaceable values, we can actually reconstruct the string however we want.
¹ <sub>_as far as I can find, only `fiat_tip` does not provide the value via `dynamic`, i.e. hardcoded in the string. Boo._</sub>
### Benefits of this approach:
- able to localize the string again
- able to customize the string (e.g. making claim titles italic, fix typos, use more concise strings, etc.)
### Problems with this approach:
- if the api overloads a particular notification type with several strings, then the approach is broken.
- Ex. For the case of `comment` type, the overload is whether the comment is a normal comment or hyperchat. But I was able to replicate the logic to differentiate them, so all is good.
- For the case of "livestream reminder in 30 minutes", we would have to inspect the string to differentiate against "is live streaming". I think this reminder is not being used, so I didn't do it yet.
- some work is needed to maintain the code when the server side updates something. But we are already manually maintaining the i18n strings anyway, so it shouldn't be too much of a burden.
- With the exception of the overload problem, any new notification type will simply pass through as un-localized, so things should continue to work, i.e. no need to update the front-end immediately 🤞
