## Issue
When opening a video directly in Chrome Incognito, the video should autoplay (since that's the default Lbry setting), but it doesn't due to browser policy
https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes
## Changes
- We don't want to forcefully mute the video when `autoplay=true`; we just want to do it when the browser policy is applied.
- Fortunately, there is already an existing code-block for us to check that.
## Test cases
- [x] "Autoplay=Off" should not be affected.
- [x] After manually unmuting, the next autoplayed video should not be muted (this is "user interacted" opening, so the policy allows autoplay)
- [x] If manually muting, the next autoplayed video should retain user's last setting.
## Known issues
- I've seen `error` occasionally being undefined in the `catch` block. In those cases, the solution doesn't work. We could remove `if (player.autoplay() && !player.muted())` and simply just try muting it, but for now it's better to ensure `NotAllowedError` is due to unmuted first before applying the fix.
- This doesn't work for Firefox as there is an explicit "Allow Autoplay" button in the address bar that user needs to click themselves. Applies to all sites.
It's useful to show the thumbnail as the player's backdrop when Video Autoplay is OFF, but it's a wasted fetch when it's ON because the videojs component will be blocking it.
Although it's the same image as the ClaimPreview, this one will be in full size, so a fetch will always happen.
Aside: videojs handles the backdrop for the audio and embed case, so this change won't affect those items.
```
<VideoJs
poster={isAudio || (embedded && !autoplayIfEmbedded) ? thumbnail : ''}
/>
```
Future: for "mobile + autoplay=OFF", we should consider using the optimized thumbnail. 6074 should help.
* Restore "use cdn for channel thumbnails"
This reverts commit e7adc607fa.
* ChannelThumbnail: disable optimization in Channel Page and for GIFs
## Issue
5564: Don't use optimized URLs on channel pages (profile/banner)
## Notes
This is not the best/full solution yet, but it is better than what we have to today (one step in the right direction).
Optimized channel thumbnail size is currently hardcoded to a lowest common denominator.
- Pro(s):
- For images used in multiple places (different sizes) in a page, the total time needed to get the optimized version for each size is too much. Also, the optimizer seems to increase the size of the image in some cases. So, getting 1 image and re-using it is faster for this scenario.
- Simpler code (no need to mount first -> get dimension -> load image)
- Cons:
- We aren't fully optimizing the size, so not really addressing Core Web Vitals score problem.
- e.g. in the front page, we could have used a smaller image for the channel thumbnails.
- We haven't address the problem with large screen sizes.
* Restore channel selector
This reverts b5cc0bb42d
* ChannelThumbnail: fix lazy-loading
- Closes 6066: Revisit lazy-loading Channel thumbnails
- Properly fixes 5933: Thumbnail lazy-load causes ChannelSelector icon to not update.
- Add effect-dependency on `channelThumbnail` and `thumbError`.
- Really perform the lazy-loading now.
- `data-src` was not used, so it wasn't actually lazy loading previously.
* dont use no_channel_ids on channel content claim search
* ClaimMenuList not filtering own content initially
* fix errors

* Release date -- initial attempt (squashed and rebased)
- Use white color for calendar buttons in release date input
- Update icon color for release date input
- Allow to set time in release date and display it under additional options
- Add release date field
* Upgrade to latest react-datetime-picker.
I believe this also picks up the y18n security fix.
* Handle dark theme and general style fixes.
* [+redux] Change how release_time is edited.
- `releaseTime` is now a number instead of a string, matching `release_time`. It was getting confusing what the variable units were.
- `releaseTime` will always match `release_time` for an edit. It will be used in the GUI to reset just the date to the original, instead of having to reset the entire form.
- `releaseTimeEdited` will be used by `updatePublishForm` in the GUI to represent the desired new release time. Set to `undefined` if we don't want to change the date.
* Add 'Reset|Now|Default' buttons instead of overloading the date-picker's "X" button.
Before this, the "X" button resets to the original (previous) publish date for Edits, and resets to current time for New Claims. This is very confusing, so added explicit text-based buttons -- hopefully this is more intuitive.
* bump redux to master

## Issue
6010: hyperchat send display issues with GIF profiles
The FreezeFrameWrapper have no `src` to freeze due to the lazy loading.
## Fix
Delay the freezing by making the lazy-load effect return a state to indicate when then `src` has been loaded.
Since the lazy-loader will `unobserve` after loading, the state will never go back to false, so we don't need to handle the case of preventing `new FreezeFrameWrapper` from being called multiple times from it's effect.
## Issue
Closes 6022 Notifications: Creator Commented
## Changes
- Beautify - show creator icon instead of generic bell.
- Link to comment directly instead of the claim.
* Add ICON.INFO - "i" within a circle.
Basically, an inverted ICON.ALERT.
* Posts: restore "Tip unlock | Claim details" component
## Issue
5882: tip unlock + claim id detials missing from markdown posts view
## Notes
The easiest solution would be to put `FileDescription` into posts, but I think that goes against the clean up of the Post layout, where the focus should be on the content. The faded style of the File Details section seems too distracting, plus we don't want the File Description anyway.
Fixed by:
- Make the existing "LBC amount" clickable to show credit details. An additional padlock will appear if the content is yours and you have tips to unlock.
- Add an "info" icon beside it to show file details.
These "link" buttons are usually lit, but I dimmed it in this case to make them stand out less. Again, focusing on Post content instead of buttons.
* Show full notification text via tooltip
The tooltip fixes the system notifications problem (mentioned below), and also allows one to quickly read the entire comment without actually having to visit the comment.
Currently, we only show about 50 characters in the notification, truncating it to an ellipsis when exceeded.
This is not much of a problem for dynamic text (e.g. comments) since the full text can be seen after clicking on the notification (brings you to the comment). For system notifications, this is problematic since there's no other way to know what the full text was.
Tried to dynamically change the font size to auto fit, but it wasn't fruitful. Even if it did work, it'll probably won't be legible for a 2000-character comment, plus the entire list will look weird with various font sizes.
* Beautify "missed out" notification; bring user to Verify page.
## Issue
6021: Notifications: Missed Out
## Changes
- The notification already brings the user to the `/rewards`. Tweaked it to directly enter the Verify Page.
- Use LBC icon instead of generic bell for this notification.
* Fix ability to delete own comments in livestream
## Issue
5832: can't remove own comments in live stream mode (if you have multiple channels?)
Looks like it was just missing `commentIsMine` for the new component.
* Disable editing livestream comments
It doesn't do anything at the moment, anyways.
* Disable deleting hyperchats
The "total tipped" will get deducted when hyperchats are deleted, which doesn't make sense (doesn't reflect actual total that the creator received).
* Swap: populate 'status' from 'btc/swap' response instead of waiting for first websocket input.
## Issue
Clsoes 5975: swap stop at processing even though response comes through
## Notes
Occasionally, the first websocket message doesn't come through (seems like the commerce didn't send?). There's really no need to wait for one more 'status=NEW' message to ensure the right data is being populated (being over-cautious here).
* Beautify the "exact amount" advice.
Scenarios where active livestreams will not appear:
- creation date is way back.
- homepage section options excludes livestreams.
Make an explicit `claim_search` but with `has_no_source` if the client wants `liveLivestreamsFirst`.
If there are lots of channels with livestreams, there's a possibility that the final list will be larger than what was requested. We could trim it to be within the original `options.pageSize` range, but I left that out for now.
It would have been a clean implementation through `renderProperties`, but due to the need to adjust the opacity of `claim-preview__file-property-overlay` (the parent elemtn), I ended up having to create a new `live` attribute.
## Issue
One of the items in 5865 Video shortcut issues
This one is not really an issue, but it would be nice to match what the arrow keys are doing. Also, in slower regions, seeking 10s will almost always end up buffering.
## Issue
Channel links were showing the "This channel isn't staking enough LBRY Credits for link previews." -- channel links shouldn't be showing previews in the first place.
## Change
Moved the logic into `ClaimLink`, which is the better place to put it anyway. I think I was trying to not touch as many components as possible (i.e. not passing `allowPreview` down too many layers) in the initial implementation. This caused the `isChannel` consideration to be missed.
These only work in the `selectThumbnail` component. If it's small enough, it'll get past the transaction limit-check, but ultimately it doesn't appear correctly in the claim list.
It'll probably appear correctly if we tweak the ClaimPreview code, but since this also fails the Google Video metadata test, I think we should disallow this.
## Issue
5923
Thumbnail errors were just being used in `selectThumbnail`. The form doesn't know about it and was using allowing invalid thumbnails like 'helloworld' to pass through.
I believe the rest of the GUI is setting 'thumbnail'.
'thumbnail_url' is only populated right before publishing.
So, the flag was always false -- we just never see the error on screen because the component is incorrectly hidden (fix for this is coming up next...)
* FileExporter: add 'fetch' hook + Web support
* Re-add ability to export transactions
Closes 4793: Export Wallet History For Taxation Purposes
* Move file-creation to the background.
Don't let the file-creation process block the GUI.
Requires lbry-redux update.
* Bump redux | doFetchTransactions: bump pageSize to 999999; remove doFetchSupport
* bump redux
