It was waiting too near the viewport to load on certain zoom levels. This will maintain the same physical distance for the "approaching viewport" buffer regardless of zoom levels.
## Changes
- Change to canonical_url (with ':').
- The old format of 'claimName/claimId' needs to be supported still, since we shipped with it.
## Notes
- It would be nice to use regex instead of 2 separate paths, but I couldn't figure out how to make the koa variables work.
We currently handle major errors through ErrorBoundary. If the error is network related, ErrorBoundary ends up blank if it's components are lazy-loaded.
#codesplit
## Issue
Sub item in <6119 Creator Settings: beyond "Muted Words">
## Changes
- Removed the existing 5s min gap on livestreams.
- Enabled the 'slow mode min gap' in Creator Settings
This change now affects both comments in claims and livestream comments.
## Issue
The loading circle wasn't showing up, causing confusion.
Splitting CSS doesn't seem trivial as there seems to be a huge dependency on the load order. Pretty much similar to what this person is facing https://lihautan.com/css-code-splitting/#the-problem
## Change
This reverts videojs-specific changes from 4d638bcf.
## Issue
When seeking on a video, RecommendedContent gets re-rendered, which causes the 20 ClaimPreviews to be re-rendered, several times. ClaimPreview has lots of children, plus it's constantly checking against the blacklist, among other things.
## Fix
The culprit seems to be the `recommendedContent` array -- the address may be different, but the contents are the same.
Do a deep compare instead.
- [x] (6332) The IntersectionObserver method of lazy-loading loads cached images visibly late on slower devices. Previously, it was also showing the "broken image" icon briefly, which we mended by placing a dummy transparent image as the initial src.
- Reverted that ugly transparent image fix.
- Use the browser's built-in `loading="lazy"` instead. Sorry, Safari.
- [x] Size-optimization did not take "device pixel ratio" into account.
- When resizing an image through the CDN, we can't just take the dimensions of the tag in pixels directly -- we need to take zooming into account, otherwise the image ends up blurry.
- Previously, we quickly disabled optimization for the channel avatar in the Channel Page because of this. Now that we know the root-cause, the change was reverted and we now go through the CDN with appropriate sizes. This also improves our Web Vital scores.
- [x] Size-optimization wasn't really implemented for all ChannelThumbnail instances.
- The CDN-optimized size was hardcoded to the largest instance, so small images like sidebar thumbnails are still loading images that are unnecessarily larger.
- There's a little-bit of hardcoding of values from CSS here, but I think it's a ok compromise (not something we change often). It also doesn't need to be exact -- the "device pixel ratio" calculate will ensure it's slightly larger than what we need.
- [x] Set `width` and `height` of `<img>` to improve CLS.
- Addresses Ligthhouse complaints, although technically the shifting was addressed at the `ClaimPreviewTile` level (sub-container dimensions are well defined).
- Notes: the values don't need to be the final CSS-adjusted sizes. It just needs to be in the right aspect ratio to help the browser pre-allocate space to avoid shifts.
- [x] Add option to disable lazy-load Channel Thumbnails
- The guidelines mentioned that items that are already in the viewport should not enable `loading="lazy"`.
- We have a few areas where it doesn't make sense to lazy-load (e.g. thumbnail in Header, channel selector dropdown, publish preview, etc.).
## Issue
The scroll listener never unregisters, and is always registering itself on every scroll. I believe it was done that way to also handle the case of "element is already in viewport when mounted".
## Change
Tried to separate both "element is already in viewport when mounted" and "element scrolled into viewport" into different effects.
The timeout value used is a bit arbitrary, but is needed because the initial size is (0, 0), and to debounce any layout shifts. Reasoning: If an element is explicitly placed under this wrapper, the additional delay is acceptable since it's meant to be lazy-loaded anyway.

## Issue
3779 RSS feed for channels
## Initial implementation details
- RSS only (not atom)
- Grabs latest 10 entries (Beamer have concerns)
## Credit
Referenced the community version mentioned in 3779
- The `rateChange` event now logs the updated speed,
not just the time at which it occurred.
- The `scrub` now (more) accurately logs the position
it came from before the destination.
- The recsys events get consolidated for logical consistency.
## Issue
With autoplay off, clicking on another video from the Recommended section didn't update the video poster.
## Fix
Made a mistake assuming that the whole component will be re-mounted, so was only setting the thumbnail once.
Even with the caching changes, a 150kB thumbnail still takes 1-2s to fetch. This impacts the score.
## Change
(1) Start with a large-enough placeholder image (has to be larger than the final image -- inflating doesn't count), then delay just enough for scoring, then switch to the real thumbnail.
(2) Since we are now doing post-mount stuff, we have the exact dimensions to optimize the claim thumbnail. This reduces the typically-several-MBs thumbnail to kBs.
These are chunks that will be requested immediately after ui.js when opening the homepage, so consolidate them into 1 chunk to reduce network overhead.
More work can/should be done to reduce the secondary chunk.
Make immediate GUI feedback to convey the current status, which can be the following:
- typing
- waiting lighthouse results
- waiting claim resolve
- no results or failed.
## Issue
6301: don't use CDN for GIF thumbnails
## Note
Just a minor mistake in the recent thumbnail refactoring; left out the handling when `allowGif` is true.
While Lighthouse allows looser searching like "Tom from LBRY", it doesn't show the expected results when direct channel name with partial ID is entered to disambiguate.
## Issue
6236 Add context menu to file page
## Notes
The download button actually handles a lot of things -- generating 'streamingUrl', differences between Web and Desktop, download progress for Desktop, etc. A simpler fix would be to put something else (maybe "Share") into the overflow menu instead.
Anyway, went ahead to do it per 6236, but retained the item for Desktop since we need a progress label.
This is the list of channels that authorized me as a moderator.
Similar to `moderation.BlockList`, this will only be fetched at startup/reload for now. I don't think there is a need to constantly monitor this. Users just need to refresh to see the moderator GUI elements after the delegator has granted them access.
## Issue
Closes 6159 "Support Comments Enabled/Disabled for comment.List API"
## New behavior
- `disable-comments` tag will block the comments component entirely.
- `settings.commentsEnabled`:
- When false, will pause comment fetching, posting and replying.
- Any already-fetched comments will stay on screen (unless user reloads/F5).
(1) Reduced the debouncing duration so that the final element can be rendered asap after visible.
- If the user is scrolling non-stop, it would continue to debounce and the GUI ends up not showing the final element.
- 25ms seems enough to prevent the initial false-positive that occurs in the scenario of "adjacent/upper elements resized late, so our element was briefly on screen when mounted". If not enough, we can make this a parameter.
(2) Removed `lastUpdateDate` that was a quick hack for Recommended section. We don't use it on that element anymore, so remove the hack to keep the file clean.
(1) The previous code assumed the element is always smaller than the screen. When used on large items like "homepage categories", it'll never load because the element exceeds the screen width or height.
(2) Added optional placeholder element. This allows us to put a cheaper element while waiting, so that the layout doesn't shift when we finally render. This is visually better when scrolling, and complies with Web Vitals.

## Issue
5873 Unify swap and buy flow // swaps round 2
## Changes
- Added "Buy|Swap" tab in the Buy Page and display the Swap component when needed.
- Removed 'Swap' button from Wallet Page.
- "Buy More" and related tooltips updated to "Buy or Swap Credits".
1. Lock the width of the second pane so that the layout doesn't shift after the image is fetched.
2. The image is huge, so pass through the optimizer.
- Wait until the container is mounted to get the exact image width.
Unfortunately, it still takes 0.8s on average to fetch the image, regardless of how small the image has been optimized.

2. The image is huge, so pass through the optimizer.
- Wait until the container is mounted to get the exact image width.
Unfortunately, it still takes 1s (on average) to fetch the image, regardless of how small the image has been optimized.
## Issue
6135
While waiting for the lazy-loader IntersectionObserver to initialize, and for the real image to be fetched, an undefined `src` results in the "broken image" thumbnail.
## Fix
Use a transparent image as the starting point. This visually retains the current behavior but minus the "broken image" part.
## Issue
GUI fix for 5979 `claim search runs twice sometimes and "refreshes" view`
The search query might encounter minor alterations after rendered (e.g. for the case of 5979, the `moderation.Blocklist` data came late). The code currently resets the result to 0 before initiating `claim_search`, so we see the GUI blink.
## Idea
There is a possibility that the query-change does not alter the final results in the end. Instead of reseting to the results to zero, hold on to the previous results until the fetch is done.
## Known issue
The tiles no longer blink if there is no change, but the "LIVE" indicator still does. I didn't want to propagate the info too deep, so leaving as is for now. It can be considered a feature ("blinking LIVE indicator" :))
## Results
- No blinking if results stay the same.
- Minimal tile-shifting if new ones are added or removed.
- In the current Odysee homepage, reduced React commits from 88 to 76 (save some CPU cycles).
## Changes:
1) TagSearch: hide the "control tags" in the Creator Settings page (irrelevant).
2) TagSearch: show the "control tags" when creating/editing Channel (let's use `setting.CommentsEnabled` instead).
3) TagSearch: show the "control tags" when creating/editing Content (`disable-comments` can be used to block comments at the per-claim level, e.g. allow comments in general but block only for specific claims).
## Missing pieces:
For (2) and (3), some work is needed to hide the comment GUI when `setting.CommentsEnabled` is disabled for a particular channel. That flag is not ready in Commentron yet, so I'm not sure how this will be done at the moment. In other words, the checkbox does nothing at the moment.
## Potential flaw:
This change will hide all control tags. If we have more tags in the future and would like to selectively disable some, we'll have to change this parameter to an array instead. Since the usage is not widespread at the moment, a single `disableControlFlag` seems cleaner (don't over-think it yet).
## Issue
Part of `5834 Performance investigation`
In a homepage with 120 tiles, the lists get rendered 3 times during initial update. The sub-components are updating recursively (will investigate), so instead of 120 DateTime renders, we have 1000+ renders.
The resolved DateTime string for `timeAgo` rarely changes, and even if the string was "a few seconds ago", there's no real need to constantly update it.
## Change
Require a minimum 1-minute delta when deciding whether the component should update. Clients can change this value as needed.
## Test
- [x] Verified `shouldComponentUpdate` doesn't end up taking more time than not having it (it's in micro-second range, compared to the millisecond render).
- [x] Profiler showed no significant improvement for low number of DateTime components, but for the 120 DateTime case, almost 1/4 of a second is saved.
- FileRenderInitiator: we don't display if it's not Audio or Video ("playables"). But only do that if it's free or was purchased, otherwise there's no button to buy it.
- FileRenderInline: if the user have not purchased it, don't show anything (not even the spinner).
## 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.

* [+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.

## 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...)

* CopyableText: add 'onCopy' for clients to change the text-selection
* Swap: only copy the amount (without currency)
## Issue
5873: Rounds 2 of LBC swaps
## Notes
It was an intended feature to include the currency -- I can paste the full string into my note book, while pasting into wallet apps like Exodus will automatically trim off the currency anyway.
Regardless, removed the 'feature' :D
- For the active swap, switch from polling to websocket. The returned data is now the Charge data from the commerce, so some parsing will be required.
- Allow the user to send other coins that the commerce supports.
- Only save the 'chargeCode' to the wallet. The other data can be repopulated from this.
- Store the receipt currency. I'm not sure if the commerce supports sending bits from various coins. Take the coin that came with the 'COMPLETED' message for now.
- Fix 'lbc' calculation to match IAPI side.
- Allow users to see full detauls from "View Past Swaps".
- String cleanup
- GUI cleanup.
While it would be nice if we can swap anonymously through Desktop, the IAPI will tie a wallet address with an account. Final decision is to require authentication.
- Users should be able to see the entered and promised amount, otherwise they might forget how much to send over.
- This change also prepares for the future upgrade to support multiple coins.
## Issue
- Patch for 5316: "Home and End keys not working in search box"
## Notes
Seems like 'shift+home' wasn't highlighting the text. 'shift+end' works.
Was pretty sure I tested that previously. Anyway, adding the direction variable seems to fix it.
- The icon makes the screen too busy when there are lots of images in a page.
- Use src as the last resort for the text (I though `title` and `alt` was mandatory in markdown; apparently not).
## Issue
4945: Simplify / revamp search filters for odysee (and lbry.tv)
## Changes
- Tweaked the "claim type = file | channel | everything" a little to hopefully make it more intuitive.
- Added "Sort By".
- Added "Upload Date".
- Fixed the affected files to handle both Desktop and Odysee.
- Tweaked the layout to be more condensed so that we can see some results as we change the filter.
- Added animations.
- Added "Exact match" option that helps user to surround with quotes.
## Issue
- Redo 5636: Disable video previews in comments/posts made by channels below a certain channel staked level
- Closes 5738: expand video preview level requierment to markdown images also
I think using the 'values' for the keys should be fine since each language name is unique. A key-clash would also help us catch mistakes like not differentiating sub-languages if support any (e.g. "English" vs. "English (British)")
Had to cast to String for lint.
- SUPPORTED_SUB_LANGUAGE_CODES[] that I introduced was pretty redundant when SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES[] already hold the information. The logic to ignore sub-languages (i.e. reduce the locale's "en-GB" to "en" is now located in getDefaultLanguage()).
- SUPPORTED_BROWSER_LANGUAGES[] and SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES[] look so similar and hard to tell what the former is for at first glance. The functionality to map 'zh-CN' to 'zh-Hans' is now handled by resolveLanguageAlias(), which makes the intention clearer.
This leaves us with a single list -- SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES[], whose key also tells us the desired language code to use.
Also, clients now need to call `resolveLanguageAlias` to map any language code aliases, as they differ depending on how it is queried (e.g. `navigator.language` vs. `app.getLocal()` uses different standards).
I think we no longer need to explicitly migrate existing user's 'zh-CN' into 'zh-Hans' because the rest of the system will always use the desired language code as long as 'resolveLanguageAlias' is called appropriately. e.g. the system uses `selectLanguage` and `selectLanguage` calls `resolveLanguageAlias`.

(1) `RecommendedContent` - need to cover the case of floating player + visit another video page.
(2) When video is floating and autoplayed the next video.
## Issue
Closes#5720: Edit: channel-selector should re-populate with original channel
## Notes
'incognito' was not set to false, causing the 'ChannelSelector' to select Anonymous.
- remove anon option in channel dropdown when livestream tab is selected
- attempt to fill publish form with current active channel name just prior to publishing to (edge condition)
- edge condition occurs when user fills out form fully. User switches to Post (which allows anon in drop down selector). User selects Anon channel, then switches back to the livestream tab. The form was previously updated with `channel: undefined` but does not get changed when clicking the livestream tab. So we just updated the form one last time prior to publishing as a livestream
- Show most recent livestream claim on livestream setup page instead of first livestream claim
## Issue
Closes 5687: Ensure post mode has no text limit
## Changes
- `type="markdown"` can now have unlimited length if clients don't define `textAreaMaxWidth`.
- The internal default limit of 2000 is narrowed down to `type=textarea`.
## Issue
Closes 3661: Autoplay + Related go into loops ( infinite ) sometimes
## GUI
Push the actual "next" item into the top of the list.
## History search
1. Skip if the next item is itself.
2. The URL stored in the history comes in various forms, so a direct comparison won't work.
- There's also a weird case where the URL differs by just a little (p.09 vs p-09), but with the same claim ID:
lbry://vacuum-tube-computer-p.09-–-building#5212bc8bc63c373e2bf1ebc5b765595ed7b6514d
lbry://vacuum-tube-computer-p-09-–-building#5212bc8bc63c373e2bf1ebc5b765595ed7b6514d
Check the claim_id as well to cover cases like these.
## 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 "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.
## Issue
Partially closes 3041: Display/hint what keyboard shortcuts are available in videos
(minus the "all shortcuts" overlay -- saving that for another day)
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
## Issue
- Second attempt at 5500: Allow right click + report feature on tiles
- Related: PR_5531
## Notes
Although the link can already be easily copied on web, the menu item is still retained for consistency between the platforms.

- 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.
Wanted to refactor out an actual `closeInlinePlayer`, but let's wait until there are more usages.
Looking at a few other files hoping to understand the convention for components, I moved the videojs.scss file to where all CSS related files appear to be in the project.
Also restores the CSS for vjs-overlay which I commented out previously for *some* reason (but I don't know why, and it doesn't seem to make a difference whether I comment it out or not)
if blockedList takes a while to return, the app would call claim_search once without the blocked list, then again with the block list. just hide them in the ui
* initial support for block/mute
* hide blocked + muted content everywhere
* add info message for blocked/muted characteristics
* sort blocked list by most recent block first
* add 'blocked' message on channel page for channels that you have blocked
* cleanup
* delete unused files
* always pass mute/block list to claim_search on homepage
* PR cleanup
## Issue
Second attempt at 5571: Limit description length on channel edit
## Changes
- Undo #5573: restore limit back to 5000.
- Translate the `bad-txns-claimscriptsize-toolarge (code 16)` error into `Transaction limit reached. Try reducing the Description length.`
## Issue
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._
For to the unhighlighted case, then the cursor should be at the Label.
## Changes
Until the upstream code decides to fix it (`github::Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor/issues/85`), we'll handle it ourself by listing to the 'changes' events.
## Issue
- Most titles don't fit the embed container width. I wish to know what the title is without having to click on it first.
- Also, add clarity that the LBRY icon brings you Home.
## Issue
The removal of `svg` from `media__subtitle` in 09b689ba made the icon black.
## Fix
Both 'Open File' and 'Download' should have the same css class.
## Issue
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.
Adds custom video.js hls quality selector plugin
This allows the quality selector plugin to stay active and listen for source changes on the player to prevent the need to recreate the player when switching between MP4's and M3U8's
## Issues
5349: Remove theater mode button from player in comments
5519: Theatre mode button doesn't do anything in full screen mode [Odysse/LBRY desktop app]
## Notes
5349: Wanted to hide for 'markdown' as well, but it seems useful for 'markdown' (to clear the screen from Related), so I did not include it.
## 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.
## Issue:
5119 "Video: Mobile UI + overlay for keyboard shortcut feedback" was disabled because the feature broke the chromecast button in Android Chrome
## Issue
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.
