- Instead of 2 ways to display ads (DOM injection + React method) and having both of them clash, just do it the predictable React way.
- Augment the existing React version to support tile layout + ability to place in last visible slot.
- Consolidate styling code to scss ... DOM manipulations were making it even harder to maintain.
- Removed the need to check for ad-blockers for now. It was being executed every time an ad is displayed, and now that we are displaying ads in more places, the gains doesn't justify the performance loss. Also, it wasn't being done for Recommended ads anyway, so the inconsistency probably means it's not needed in the first place.
Other known issues fixed:
- double ad injection when changing language via nag.
- additional "total-blocking-time" due to ads at startup removed.
- fixed ads not appearing in mobile homepage until navigated away and back to homepage.
- enable ads in channel page.
- support for both List and Tile layout.
* Resolve claim and stream types when there is a filter
## Symptom
Channel Page 'Content Type' filter not working
## Issue
The Advanced Filter work by placing a `?content=` URL param. The list component then parses it and makes the `claim_search` params accordingly. But:
1. There is a mix up in how the list component treats `?content=`.
- The original code seems to treat this as a way to define the type externally but only for a list without `claimType` defined via code. In other words, if `claimType="something"`, `?content=` is ignored.
- On the other hand, the Advanced Filter relies on `?content=` being used.
2. `?content=` is then split between `claimType` and `streamType`. The current code does not check if the split makes sense, e.g. if `?content=channel` and `streamType=['video']`, these 2 are incompatible and produces no results.
## Change
1. I'm not really sure what's the original intention, but let's just make `?content=` as an override/filter.
2. `?content=` should probably be limited to always be a subset of `claimType` and `streamType`. But this seems complicated to do, so for now let's just make always override/filter everything. For that, we need to make sure the filtered `claimType` -- `streamType` combo makes sense.
* Fix 'Channel' filter not working in Wild West
## Cause
The Wild West list defines `release_time` to be 1 week ago. As long as this parameter exists, a channel `claim_search` produces no results (I thought channels have creation dates?). That is why an unfiltered Wild West never showed Channel Tiles.
## Change
The existing `release_time` handling does seem to hint that we should not set the parameter when searching for Channels. Expanded that to consider the final (filtered) claim type, not just the original.
## Issue
After enabling Advanced Filter in Category Pages, the 'Content Type' filter only works for "repost/video/list".
## Root-cause
When `streamType` is not provided, it defaults to 'Video|Audio', making it always "defined":
```
streamType = SIMPLE_SITE ? [CS.FILE_VIDEO, CS.FILE_AUDIO] : undefined,
```
This seem to override the purpose of `defaultStreamType`, which will not be used unless the client explicitly set `streamType=null`, which currently is only being applied for `RECENT_FROM_FOLLOWING[]`.
```
const streamTypeParam =
streamType || (CS.FILE_TYPES.includes(contentTypeParam) && contentTypeParam) || defaultStreamType || null;
```
* Test out a horizontal scroll for upcoming (tile only for now)
* - add support for list layout
- add following label on home page
- clan up css and naming conventions
* Update header type + show only if scheduled streams are showing
* Add remove_duplicates to tile/list claim_search except for Channel Page
This removes the any duplicates from reposts.
* Re-activate the "Hide reposts" setting
* Category Rows: default to ['stream', 'repost'] unless specified otherwise.
* ❌ Remove old method of displaying active livestreams
Completely remove it for now to make the commit deltas clearer.
We'll replace it with the new method at the end.
* Fetch and store active-livestream info in redux
* Tiles can now query active-livestream state from redux instead of getting from parent.
* ⏪ ClaimTilesDiscover: revert and cleanup
## Simplify
- Simplify to just `uris` instead of having multiple arrays (`uris`, `modifiedUris`, `prevUris`)
- The `prevUris` is for CLS prevention. With this removal, the CLS issue is back, but we'll handle it differently later.
- Temporarily disable the view-count fetching. Code is left there so that I don't forget.
## Fix
- `shouldPerformSearch` was never true when `prefixUris` is present. Corrected the logic.
- Aside: prefix and pin is so similar in function. Hm ....
* ClaimTilesDiscover: factor out options
## Change
Move the `option` code outside and passed in as a pre-calculated prop.
## Reason
To skip rendering while waiting for `claim_search`, we need to add `React.memo(areEqual)`. However, the flag that determines if we are fetching `claim_search` (fetchingClaimSearchByQuery[]) depends on the derived options as the key.
Instead of calculating `options` twice, we moved it to the props so both sides can use it.
It also makes the component a bit more readable.
The downside is that the prop-passing might not be clear.
* ClaimTilesDiscover: reduce ~17 renders at startup to just 2.
* ClaimTilesDiscover: fill with placeholder while waiting for claim_search
## Issue
Livestream claims are fetched seperately, so they might already exists. While claim_search is running, the list only consists of livestreams (collapsed).
## Fix
Fill up the space with placeholders to prevent layout shift.
* Add 'useFetchViewCount' to handle fetching from lists
This effect also stashes fetched uris, so that we won't re-fetch the same uris during the same instance (e.g. during infinite scroll).
* ⏪ ClaimListDiscover: revert and cleanup
## Revert
- Removed the 'finalUris' stuff that was meant to "pause" visual changes when fetching. I think it'll be cleaner to use React.memo to achieve that.
## Alterations
- Added `renderUri` to make it clear which array that this component will render.
- Re-do the way we fetch view counts now that 'finalUris' is gone. Not the best method, but at least correct for now.
* ClaimListDiscover: add prefixUris, similar to ClaimTilesDiscover
This will be initially used to append livestreams at the top.
* ✅ Re-enable active livestream tiles using the new method
* doFetchActiveLivestreams: add interval check
- Added a default minimum of 5 minutes between fetches. Clients can bypass this through `forceFetch` if needed.
* doFetchActiveLivestreams: add option check
We'll need to support different 'orderBy', so adding an "options check" when determining if we just made the same fetch.
* WildWest: limit livestream tiles + add ability to show more
Most likely this behavior will change in the future, so we'll leave `ClaimListDiscover` untouched and handle the logic at the page level.
This solution uses 2 `ClaimListDiscover` -- if the reduced livestream list is visible, it handles the header; else the normal list handles the header.
* Use better tile-count on larger screens.
Used the same method as how the homepage does it.
* Sort props to clarify "client vs. redux". No functional change.
* ClaimListHeader: remove SIMPLE_SITE gating
* Channel Page: enable filters; add "sort by" filter.
## Issue
7059 Add option to sort oldest first on channel page
## Changes
- Enabled filters for Odysee.
- Added a new "Sort By" filter, which will only appear for "New" ordering. It doesn't make sense for "Trending" or "Top".
## Issue
3587 Show content view counts on channel pages
## Notes
Limited to just "channel pages" for now as specified in the ticket.
Can be enabled for all claim previews, as long as there's an efficient spot to run the batch fetching. Either make `fetchViewCount` prop default to true, or add the parameter in places that need it.

## Ticket
6743: Desktop: "Back" in Following Page no longer restores scroll position
## Issue
This was a side-effect of "6609 claimListDiscover: don't re-render until query is done". That PR did not handle the case of navigating backwards, which typically would just need to display past results. It ended up always starting with a blank list on mount, so the scroll position could not be restored correctly.
I don't know why it still worked on Web/Chrome -- maybe the latest browser knows how to move to desired scroll position when the height is available.
## Change
If navigating backwards, initialize the final URI list with the previous result. It is almost always correct, and if not, will be corrected in the effects. This saves us one re-render when navigating backwards too.
## Issue
6542 Livestream listing and blocked list kills CLS score
This is basically a repeat of what was done on `claimTileDiscover` (homepage), but now on `claimListDiscover` (category pages).
This handles the unnecessary re-render when:
- the uri list temporarily being zero while waiting for new claim-search results.
- livestream claim-search invalidating the list.
## Changes
Store the last uri list and use that when we know that claim-search is still not done.
## Tests
1. Ran Lighthouse on category pages (force a livestream channel on it). CLS score must be green.
2. Block `claim_search` from Dev Tools and move to another category. The page should say "timed out" instead of "no results" (i.e. maintain existing behavior).
* dont use no_channel_ids on channel content claim search
* ClaimMenuList not filtering own content initially
* fix errors
