## 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.

## 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
Closes "6056 Extend notificaiton text to show more characters"
## Notes
Looking at the code and comments, I couldn't figure out what was the reason for adding the width constraint (just in case this breaks something).
My guesses:
- Try not to make the rhs thumbnail too far apart from the lhs thumbnail.
- Try not to make the rhs thumbnail misaligned due to dynamic width of the "xx days ago" string on the far right.
## Changes:
Extended the width as much as possible, while retaining some gap before the "xx days ago" string and "unread dot" so that thumbnails stay align in the general case.
The components still reflows nicely (as it did previously) per window-size.
## 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).
## Issue
The "Muted Words" PR elevated Comment-API errors so we can handle it (previously, it goes unnoticed). This broke the other Comment functions because the spammer mitigation might return an error, causing `Promise.all` to bail early.
## Fix
Changed to `Promise.allSettled` and reconstructed the results. This will make it equivalent to the code prior to the "Muted Words" PR.
## 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).
* Markdown: make '>Quote' look less like a banner
Quotes should be subtle as it is primarily intended for redundant content, but currently it looks more like a banner that brings lots of focus.
This change is also background-independent. Currently, the Quotes in Posts doesn't look like it has a background color, because it happened to be the same as the Post's background. This makes it inconsistent with Quotes in Comments. Let's just always make it blend in + grayish text.
* Markdown: inline code tweak
- better symmetry
- less spacing to the left and right, since it's common to already have a space in the sentence (even if it doesn't, like in CJK, the new spacing looks sufficient).
* 4481: Use regular font in Markdown Editor
I think we should not use Monospace fonts for the Markdown Editor since we are not coding.
Similar to Github, code-blocks and inline-code only gets converted to monospace in the Preview.
## Issue
- Closes 5998 Theme color problems
- "_Seeing the theme go blue when a modal pops up. There's a change in color on Odysee branch also when this happens (but not as apparent)_"
##
1. Fix overlay background color back to gray theme.
2. Also, fixed the Active Toggle Button back to primary colors.
3. Fix hard-to-read "videojs time tooltip". Using the primary colors is a nice touch, but people have complained in Discord that it's too dim given it's transparent background. Just use 'white' instead. Don't use '--color-white' since that's a bit dimmed down.
4. Fix odd highlight in the volume slider (the bright primary color was used in the background).
* Fix error text color for dark mode.
Don't alter --color-danger since that color works fine as a backdrop for the Toast Message.
* Remove duplicates
* Fix typo
* Fix primary/secondary button and notice_message
* Fix dimmed checkbox
* #6006 Switch from 'coolGray' to 'gray'
* Fix invisible nag (missing --color-orange)
## 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.
