## Issue
6366 Recsys Evaluation Telemetry
The recommended list from lighthouse is obtained from `makeSelectRecommendedContentForUri`. This list is further tweaked by the GUI (e.g. move autoplay next item to top, remove blocked content, etc.). Recsys wants the final recommendation list and the clicked index (in exact order), so we need pass these info to the videojs recsys plugin somehow. Also, Recsys wants a recommendation list ID as well as the parent (referrer) ID, we so need to track the clicks and navigation.
## General Approach
- It seems easiest to just spew back the final (displayed) list and all the required info to Redux, and the recsys plugin (or anyone else in the future) can grab it.
- Try to touch few files as possible. The dirty work should all reside in `<RecommendedContent>` only.
## Changes
- `ClaimPreview`: add optional parameters to store an ID of the container that it is in (for this case, it is `ClaimList`) as well as the index within the container.
- When clicked, we store the container ID in the navigation history `state` object.
- For general cases, anyone can check this state from `history.location.state` to know which container referred/navigated to the current page. For the recsys use case, we can use this as the `parentUUID`.
- `ClaimList`: just relay `onClick` and set IDs.
- `RecommendedContent`: now handles the uuid generation (for both parent and child) and stores the data in Redux.
## 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.
- 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
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.
## 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
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).

Partially closes 3041: Display/hint what keyboard shortcuts are available in videos

## 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)
