## Changes
- Restore original code for how Volume and Mute is restored.
- Playback rate will be only change that gets "re-restored" in "loadedmetadata".
## Issue
5513: Video-setting persistence broken
## Notes
- Per videojs recommendation, the setting-restoration should be done after the video has been loaded, so the action was moved to `loadedmetadata`. This fixed the volume slider problem, and should have fixed the playbackRate too.
- For playbackRate, there is another special case where it gets reset to 1 (refer to comments in code).
## Issue
Closes 4936: Don't process markdown formatting as lbry:// url previews
## Approach
Preamble:
- We want to convert plain `https://lbry.tv/befreeonlbry` to an embed, but not `[blah](https://lbry.tv/befreeonlbry)`.
- At the markdown/remark level, both formats resolve to the same node type, having a `link` and a `text`, with the 'text' being auto-filled with the `href` if there is no label.
Fix by assuming the link is the non-labelled format if the `text` is the same as `href`.
This opens up one corner-case that we can't handle, which is when the user explicitly set the label using the href, e.g. `[https://lbry.tv/befreeonlbry](https://lbry.tv/befreeonlbry)`. This will still resolve to an embed. There's not enough data at the parsed level differentiate this case -- we would need to parse the content ourself before `remark`, which I think is not worth it.
## Aside/Reminder
If you see that the link doesn't resolve to an embed regardless of the format used, that's probably just due to `5636: Disable video previews in comments/posts made by channels below a certain channel staked level`
- Channel About
- description: seems handy to have a preview, so pulled in the "allowed" logic.
- email: shouldn't render preview at all
- website: shouldn't render preview at all
- Publish Preview:
- description: there's not enough height anyway, so don't render preview.
## Issue
Closes 5193: Add filtering on notifications page
## Approach
- Add a combo box, and simply filter out the notifications based on the combo box value.
- Selection state is persistent, but reset to All if there are unread ones when entering the page.
- Tell the user that "no notifications" could be due to the filter.
## Issue
- Closes "Wunder: Keyboard typing confusion" (https://discord.com/channels/362322208485277697/377895389992321064/784309720293965824)
- Closes 5316: "Home and End keys not working in search box"
## New behavior
Home/End key now behaves like it normally would in a typical text box, i.e.:
- Brings you to the start or end position.
- Adding a <Shift> key also selects the text from the current position.
To select the top or bottom item in the Suggestion Popup List, use Ctrl+Home/End instead (without this change, it was just Home/End previously).
## Approach
Adding the listener at the element level allows us to run it before the component's listener.

Closes 5597: batch resolves on channel search page
Do a batch-resolve immediate after getting the results and before setting the result variable, as the latter would result in the Claim* components resolving individually.
I enabled `returnCachedClaims` -- I assumed that's a reasonable thing to do. I don't see other places use it, though, so highlighting it here.
## Issue
5554: Video: loading circle sometimes does not appear until 2nd click
## What's happening
videojs behavior:
(a) A `src` change makes the Play button re-appear.
(b) An `onPlay` (or `play()`) makes the button go away.
Due to the `m3u8` header async fetch (i.e. return is potentially delayed), the initial `onPlay` (which cleared the button) that happened after user clicked Play gets negated by a potentially-delayed `src` change.
# Changes
- Manually hide the play button that is induced by the change in `src`. In the fetch-delay scenario mentioned above, the player continues to be in a 'playing' state anyway.
- But don't hide the button if paused externally (e.g. browser-level)
Restore video loading circle

Closes 5515: All videos marked as read when clicking a single notification from notification list
## Change:
- Augment `doReadNotifications` to only clear the given IDs. If the argument is `null` or is not a valid array (e.g. when used as a click handlers, the click event object is passed in), all notifications will be cleared.
- Augment `NOTIFICATION_READ_COMPLETED` to only clear the given IDs.
## Notes:
- Wasn't sure of the API will fail if the ID is invalid, so I start from `unreadNotifications` first, then only filtering it further with the given ID. Otherwise, we could just skip the `unreadNotifications` filtering.

- Renamed `closeInlinePlayer` to `clearPlayingUri` to reflect it's actual function.
- Add additional check to see if the current video is actually inline before closing it.

Closes 4505: Highlight url instead of text when embedding a link
_Too used to Github's editor behavior, so was annoyed at this too. It makes more sense to highlight the URL placeholder since that needs to be filled._

5219: Add content type and language filters to channel page
## Notes
There is a quirk in the dropdown (see 5542: Language filter doesn't reflect effective setting if language is outside of `SEARCHABLE_LANGUAGES[ ]`)
Included the memes as well per translator request. I've been excluding it since I wasn't sure if memes can be translated, but I guess they can change it to something equivalent in their language.
'Copy' is always disabled for the case of Claim previews since no text is selected. User cannot select text anyway since a left-up event would invoke the Claim's `click` event. 'Copy' is there simply because of re-using `openContextMenu`.

Closes 5523: timestamps not interpreted in some cases
## Notes
`remark-breaks` previously kept repeating the same index in the loop, causing some corner-cases to be parsed oddly. I added code to address that.

## Issue
2731: Searches with forward slashes returns no results
## Change
The slash-removal came from (0db20834f9).
Removing the 2 `replace(/\//, ' ')` from lbry-desktop fixes it, but this PR assumes the slash-removal is intentional to cover something else. So, we'll make the Search side do the same thing to match what's happening in `doSearch`.
A little bit ugly, but there's already a comment about this in `makeSelectSearchUris`, so it'll probably get cleaned up in the future.
## Issue
Closes#5392 better support for non-standard resolution videos
It's not actually cropped -- the control bar was opaque.
## Change
Use 0.80 opacity to somewhat see the full picture.
Using 0.5 or less would be even better, but due to the default tiny size of the control bar, the text becomes unreadable (it's readable if you zoom the browser to get larger text). Don't want to mess with sizing for now, so using 0.80 to get the best of both worlds.
## Issue
5438: Keep floating player in view area
## Changes
- Restore correct z-index
- The bug came as a side effect of cbac2174. Redo cbac2174 to cover both close button and floating player.
- Remove wobbling when dragging to bottom-right.
- The extra gap introduced is fighting against react-draggable. If gaps are needed, handle it entire ourselves or do it somewhere in react-draggable; neither is worth the effort, so the gap was removed.
- Fix i18n concat problem for some languages.
- Display the same label (specifically, the recommended aspect ratio) for both URL and UPLOAD. I think the string "File to upload" can be omitted, but I left it as-is.
- Remove old/unused strings.
Continually recreating video.js instance on render is bad.
Instead, persist a single instance, and simply update the source and poster on the existing instance.
I'm a bit wary of adding props to this component due to the 'dispose' call, but I think 'source' and 'claim' will update together, so it shouldn't be an issue?
## Issue
5308: Ability to choose default play speed and theatre mode or regular playback size
## Comments
Initially, I used the local storage, as per 'muted' and 'volume' -- I thought that would be appropriate.
Later, I saw that Theater Mode is already using Client Settings, so I re-did everything to match that.
Also, there is an accompanying commit in lbyr-redux.

5204: Don't autoplay when commenting/video off screen
## Change
Previously, the checking was only done during a scroll event. We also need to check if the user has already scroll down before the component was invoked.
## Issue
- The previous regex uses lookback (I think ES2018?) which Safari has yet to implement.
- There were a few bugs in the previous regex too, like missing out multiple timestamps in a line, or parsing "62:02" as "2:02" (although YT does this as well).
- The previous method searched too deep (matchAll) on each 'locate' call, which was wasteful.

5130: Support mailto hyperlinks / urls in markdown
## Change
The markdown components already support mailto, just that the logic here ended up making it a 'ClaimLink'
## Issue
5090: When sorting channels, switching between Trending/Top/New returns viewer to the top of the page
## Approach
- Add an optional parameter to `ClaimListDiscover/Header` to add an additional anchor ID when building a new search URL.
- Clients then add the anchor ID on the desired location.
- The code that handles the scrolling then checks if the `location` contains an anchor hash. If it does, we'll scroll to that element; else, the existing behavior will be used.
## Issues
(1) 4783: New search query does not reset to the top
(2) The current way that Tag Search resets the position can be overridden by the AppRouter's call.
## Approach
Listen to `search` changes as well. This basically covers any search param changes.
Components should probably not call `window.scrollTo` directly as the AppRouter's call might override it.
Wider post area for bigger text, while keeping the character count the same or less.
Removed `overflow: auto;` as it was not required and was creating unnecessary scrollbars when margins were incorrectly calculated.
## Issue
The "Trending for xxx" string was being resolved and translated twice, so it often re-appears in the string list during development.
## Change
It seems like `getHomepage` is repopulated every time, so I think it is safe to just resolve and translate `title` at that level.
## Extra
Remove unused "Creator analytics are down" message per recent changes.
## Issue
- Personally annoyed of having to switch to landscape just to change the setting. There's still space for it.
- This serves as a quick fix until "4712: Video: Allow access to all control in small screen" is figured out
The only downside to this new implementation is that the top-most (or right-most?) scrollbar won't get the customization. Any other sub-components (e.g. sidebar) will get the customization.
My guess is that the "top-most" scrollbar is above the `main-wrapper`. I'm not sure if we can (or should) add another className higher than App.
The impetus for the customization was the ugly sidebar anyway, so at least we covered that.
## Issue
4727: Sidebar's transient scrollbar doesn't fit in the Dark Theme
## Approach
The 'webkit' API works on Chrome, but Firefox ignores it and uses it's own fancy scrollbar when 'webkit' is used (can't seem to change any properties). It's better than the current look, but still doesn't fit our theme, plus it makes the product look different on different browsers.
Firefox now supports the new 'scrollbar' API, so we can now tweak the scrollbar, but the API only provides limited attributes.
Don't wanna complicate things by using Javascript, so we'll use Firefox's limited attributes as the common denominator and just live with a plain, rectangle scroll bar BUT with better color to match the theme.
## Issue:
5044: Auto hide cursor on video on static hover
## Approach
The existing code only hides the cursor when playing in fullscreen. Extend that to normal mode as well.
## Extra
Add in few new strings
4913: Can't slide volume slider in pop out mode
I first tried to handle this at the floating player level, but it was impossible to hack there due to how 'react-draggable' works (it already moved the window before the "move" handler is called, so we can't do much).
Fix by overriding the dragging behavior of the videojs' VolumeBar class by not propagating the event further. It is odd that videojs didn't already do this, since it's SeekBar does stop the propagation.
## Issue
4609: If claim search on latter page fails, don't clear out all previous data
## Note
This requires an accompanying change in `lbry-redux` to mark `claimSearchResultLastPageReached` during timeout and to not purge past results.
## Change
The previous flow was: increment the page, and expect the next render to either be 0 (timeout + purge) or fill in at least 1 new item.
Since it is now possible for no results to be returned for the new page (due to timeout + no purging), the code continues to make another query. This commit stops the perpetual querying.
## Test Case:
1. https://lbry.tv/$/discover?t=imherelbry&content=video&order=top&fresh=year
2. Scroll down a few pages until it timeout happens. Past results are gone.
## Issue
In the odysee branch, the tooltip for "Following" in the Sidebar was shown as "Following --[sidebar]--". In lbry.tv, the tooltip doesn't appear.
I believe the tooltip appeared due to the name change from 'label' to 'title' and then being passed to Button through '...passedProps'.
Fix by explicitly setting the Button's 'title' to the localized text.
I believe we don't translate these since this is already the translated form?
When the language is supported later, the English version will be added to the string database instead.
## Issue
4393: Tag query URL goes on indefinitely as you change between [Trending|New|Top]
## Change
Change from `append` to `set` when building the query to remove duplicates.
Flow hates null being not a string, so the FixMe was retained.
## Note from Russian translator
"To/From" in the 'automatic dark mode setting' cannot be re-used for the one in the 'Tip Modal'.
## Change
Wanted to split this into "general" and "time", but I'm guessing it won't satisfy all languages, so we'll just use the usage as the context since there's just 2 instances.
## Issue
4796 - i18n: Allow support for string overloading (multiple contexts)
## Approach
- Minimal code and process change.
- Handle on a case-by-case basis when reported by translators.
- Split the affected key in the string json by appending the context.
- Translators need to be aware of the new format and not translate context itself. Code is added to detect bad translations and will revert to English.
Sample in json:
"About --[About section in Help Page]--": "About",
"About --[tab title in Channel Page]--": "About",
Sample in client code:
title={__('About --[About section in Help Page]--')}
- "--[ ]--" was chosen as it's unique enough (unlikely for real strings to use it) and hopefully not that distracting in the client code.
- In the key itself, spaces are allowed after the string (i.e. before '--[') for neatness. It will be trimmed by the system.
## First example
"About" is used in 3 places:
- Channel Page
- Help Page
- Footer (in Odysee branch)
For Russian, the word "About" is "O" and is usually not used standalone, but requires something behind it. A translator said so, and seems to be the case in other sites as well.
"O xxx"
"O yyy"
## Other languages
For other languages that are not impacted, they can just clone the same translation for each of the split keys, just like in English.
## Possible enhancement in Transifex
I see that Transifex's API includes a `context` entry. It might be possible to move the context-metadata there during the upload, so translators will never see the "--[]--" messiness (it will be shown as "Context: xxx" in the Transifex GUI).
I'm not sure how to test the Transifex side, so I did not investigate further.
## Issue
4831: Videos start muted on Desktop (fresh install) and web (sometimes resets)
This covers the Desktop fresh install and Web fresh session (incognito) part. It doesn't cover the "sometimes reset" part as I don't know how to reproduce that.
## Change
`sessionStorage` is always empty when that piece of code is called, even for non-fresh Desktop and even in Brave. We now fallback to `1` when `volume` is `null`. Still not sure the purpose of that code, but leaving it there just in case something relies on it.
## Tests
[/] Desktop fresh-install is not muted.
[/] Desktop return session restores previous volume level.
[/] Web* fresh session (cleared data) is not muted.
[/] Web return session restores previous volume level.
*Web = Chrome, Firefox and Brave.
- "The publisher has chosen to" -- Fix incomplete string, probably broken by linter.
- Fix hardcoded email in invite snackbar.
- Fix 'Upload Settings' to new lower-case style.
- Add few more missing ones.
- Consolidated "Claim xxx" strings together.
- Removed duplicate "Confirming..." due to branch merging.
The "Report Content" button was the impetus for this, as there was no way to know what that button is for unless the user clicked it (or smart enough to decipher the icon).

## Issue
The abrupt cut-off of the expandable section bugs me (looks like a rendering glitch), especially when it cuts off in the middle of a line.
## Change
In addition to the existing 'More' button, we fade out the section to provide additional visual cues.
## Approach
This solution doesn't require the background color to be known, so it will work regardless where <Expandable> is used, or whatever color-scheme is chosen.
However, it does utilize non-standard css -- for older browsers, it should simply cut-off like the before.
This option allows users to bypass the "publish preview" modal. Users can disable it by checking "don't show this again" in the modal, and re-enable it in the Settings Page.
This requires an accompanying change in lbry-redux. Search for "SETTINGS.ENABLE_PUBLISH_PREVIEW" in the commit message to find the commit.
In Edit Mode, the preview will not appear. Not sure if it's needed, plus there are more things to handle in Edit mode (e.g. which items are changed)
Many of the creators including myself use transparency to achieve some effect. We all love PNGs and GIFs, so please dont shoot in your leg by limiting creative potential :)
For example: you can see the effect here, you can inspect lement and remove background color from channel "profile image": https://lbry.tv/@LBRYlytics:4
- More missing strings
- Moved strings around to keep related strings together (easier for translators to guess the context)
- Removed translation macro for blank string
- Fix typo for 'Neetwork'
## Issue
4797: Markdown preview breaks when using a lbry link in angle brackets
This is similar to the Embed case in commit dbcd677e.
## Change
Replaced it with a dummy link that looks like what the final outcome would be, but would not be clickable.
Again, similar to the embed case, unless there is a way to pass the store over, I don't have an alternative that makes sense: Adding a dummy router or replacing it as a regular <a> will just make React spew security errors.
Not being able to click it is not ideal as we (as a user) can't verify our links, but it's better than the current case of not rendering anything at all.

4644: Markdown Preview breaks when <iframe> is present
Error: "Invariant violation: could not find 'store' ..."
## Change
Until we figure out a way to pass the store to the SimpleMDE preview formatter, just replace the embed with a stub region.
## Issue
The previous code only handled the clamping if the FP is already floating when the main window is resized.
1. In fresh Odysee session, the floating player is always clipped on the right.
2. If you resize the desktop while not floating, the FP could be clipped when you go into floating mode.
## Changes
- Factor out the clamping code.
- Add another effect to handle 'isFloating' changes.

In addition to the `passwordReset*` variables, reset the `passwordSet*` variables as well for `USER_PASSWORD_SET_CLEAR`.
## Issue
4741: `Pop out player disappears or is cut off`
## Approach:
- When dragging stops, determine the location of the floating player with respect to the main window in terms of percentage.

## Issue
4669: `Download doesn't trigger on web until 2nd attempt`
The issue only happens when _Autoplay_ is disabled in the User Settings and the video hasn't been loaded when _Download_ is clicked.
The following code:
`if (didClickDownloadButton && streamingUrl)`
didn't triggered because:
1. `streamingUrl` has not resolved yet when the Effect ran.
2. When it did resolve, the parent component was also notified and unmounted things, causing `didClickDownloadButton` to reset.
## Approach
Avoid the unnecessary unmounting by not using a conditional section wrapper within a return statement. React probably couldn't do the diffs when the conditional is at a section level.
## Issue
- "See the" was not encapsulated with the translation macro.
- Split-strings are not translatable for some languages.
## Change
Combine the entire sentence into a single string with variable.
## Issue
4708: Bring back tag list in side bar when Tags view selected
## Approach
- Instead of displaying either Channels or Tags, both will now be displayed.
- The tags will simply be a the same button component as the "channels", but with a "#" prefix. This simplifies the CSS-side changes, and looks better overall as well.
## Issue
Fixes 4709 `Dragging floating player via video section pauses video`
## Changes
Don't propagate the key-up action if the window was dragged. Hopefully there isn't another sub-component that relies on the action being propagated.
## Note
If you drag at exactly the "Play" icon the control bar, the issue still happens.
## Issue
Fixes 4665 `Translated strings with trailing spaces not shown correctly`
## Changes
While there are other strings with trailing spaces, "Trending for " was the only one that mattered. The rest are standalone paragragphs or used in a single line, so it doesn't matter if the translation included the space or not.
## Issue
Users are annoyed with the constant reset of the 'channel' setting in the Publish page.
## Changes
1. Revert the previous attempt in ff7b4092. The `usePersistedState` method is bad, as it will clash with the Redux value.
2. Implemented the persistence in Redux -- requires "https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-redux/pull/347".
## Issue
The sidebar text stuck in English despite already translated.
I'm guessing the i18n macro only ran once for the global object.
## Change
Run the macro on the label when passing it to the `Button`.
## Issue
The previous commit was over-doing the manual syncing, causing other usages like the Repost Modal to always reset to a different channel.
## Fix
Only do the manual syncing when the channel does not exist.
At this point, we could also just take `channel[0]` as the new value.
## Issue
Fixes `4544 Channel-creation in "Tip|Support" Modal shouldn't submit LBC immediately`
## Changes
`Form` seems to have already tried to stop the propagation of `onSubmit`, so I'm not sure why it was still propagated.
Fix by using the same method used in the `CommentCreate`, which is simply to check for `CHANNEL_NEW` as the current selection.
## Issue
Fixes `4621 Can't create Comments if you recently deleted a channel`
The `channel` that the parent passes in is from a persisted state. If the channel has been deleted, `<select>` will automatically resolve to another selectable value. However, `onChange` will not be called for this scenario, so we now have a mismatch.
## Changes
- Manually check if the value has been auto-resolved and report it to the parent.
- An extra `setTimeout` was needed. It seems like `onChannelChange` needs to be called after the first `useEffect` of the parent, otherwise the call has no effect.
