## Issue
- When signing up, the "channel suggestions" page was stuck because `prefsReady` was never set as `preference_get` was never called.
- It was never called due to the optimizations to skip it when there is no difference between the local and server wallet.
## Change
- The first ever `sync/get` will result in a "no wallet" error, and there is already a `catch` to handle it. But the change in 38c13cf5 caused the `catch` to be skipped and went directly to `sync_apply` instead. Although the `catch` is also doing the same thing (`sync_apply`), it also has an additional callback to call `preference_get`.
- Fixed by ensuring this scenario ends up in the `catch` block like it was originally intended.
- We also did some optimization in the callback to skip the final `preference_get` if there is no difference in hash. But for the case of signing up, we do want to run it (so that `prefsReady` and other stuff gets initialized), so pass `hasNewData = true` to the callback.
## Issue
- Closes 592 Force clear stuck upload
- It was possible for an upload to stay "locked" e.g. when browser is killed.
## Change
When refreshing or opening a new tab, always clear the locks. The on-going sessions will re-lock them immediately.
## Issue
"No notifications" briefly appear when your previous filter is not "All".
## Change
When splitting up the category-fetch, the render logic was not updated accordingly.
## Issue
In the original Desktop code, new strings encountered during runtime will be automatically added to the local `app-strings.json` file. The feature is unavailable in Web because writing to file would require explicit permissions.
## Change
Partially restore the functionality by saving the strings to memory and retrieving it from the console via `copy(window.new_strings)`. It's a little bit of manual work, but I think it is good as it forces a sanity check before committing (previously, experimental/developmental strings are committed and being translated in Transifex).
* Update publish form when editing livestream + update to radios for liveststream release time
* Fix bug where upload tools may remain visible upon switching upload type, even when no option to upload is available.
* move publish source state up, when editing livestream only show scheduling option when source is none.
* Reset any set release time if switching to live stream mode.
* Update date/time cmpnts to reset any chnages they made on umount. Update schedule date/time cmpnt to clear release time when selecting anytime option.
* Additional filtering of internal tags
* Default to replay view when editing a liveststream
- Query for that tag in the upcoming section
- Improve special tag organization
- Filter out the internal tags in the UI
- Add missing types to publish state
The number of props to pass is getting out hand, so just pass the Comment object directly.
Also, moved the "is my comment" check into LivestreamComment, so we don't need to pass it as a prop from the parent.
## Issue
- Slow for users with many channels.
- The need to do it in Sync Loop is more applicable to Desktop.
## Approach
- Just remove it from sync loop.
- It will still be called when entering `/$/channels`, so that's an alternative to fix things when it is out of sync.
## Issue
In 38c13cf5, an additional `doGetAndPopulatePreferences` was added in `doSignIn` to ensure we have populated the preferences at least once. With that, `doHandleSyncComplete` can skip `doGetAndPopulatePreferences` is there is no change in the hash.
The addition broke the "initial sync lock", thus incorrectly allowing users to change preferences when the process is not completed.
## Change
I think the additional call is no longer needed since we now store a local hash for comparison, so `doGetAndPopulatePreferences` wouldn't be incorrectly skipped in the first ever `doHandleSyncComplete`.
## Repro
1. Follow a channel.
2. When `preference_set` is sent, unfollow the channel.
3. A few seconds later, the final setting reflects (1) instead of (2).
The current sync loop involves doing a final `sync/get` at the end. While not necessary for the scenario above, the code flow covers various cases, so it's still needed for now.
## Approach
Implement an abort mechanism to the sync-loop.
When syncing from the `buildSharedStateMiddleware` loop, generate an ID for each sync session, and only store the latest one. Pass the ID to the completion-callback (and other places as needed), so we can check if our session is still the latest one before executing the callback.
The check for invalidation can also be placed in more places to cut off the sync process earlier, but it's only done for 2 critical places for now.
Props: either use primitives, stable references or memoized objects to reduce renders. This update will simplify the existing `areEqual`. It is still needed though as some props are hard to memoize from where they are called, or should simply be ignore.
## Ticket
Part of "#385 Defer api.odysee.com calls to their respective pages / install new"
## Change
Pull out `notification/categories` from `doNotificationList` and fetch it in Notifications Page. I don't there there are other places that need it for now.
## Repro
- Do a search like "Test" and filter to "Channels Only".
- Follow a bunch @test channels
- Unfollow any one of them. All of them gets unfollowed.
## Notes
The change in b9fc9b63 to compare the lower-case channel name probably made it even worse, since "@TeSt" would be removed too.
## Change
Not sure why channel name was used in the first place ... perhaps it was to cover canon vs perm uri?
Anyway, comparing uri makes more sense, so doing that instead.
Was trying to save one event listener in the previous implementation and rely on other redux state-changes to spark a GUI update, but turns out there are scenarios where nothing is updated and the "offline" nag is stuck on screen.
## Change
Do it properly using the event listeners. The nag should now update promptly.
Changing the string means it will stay in English until retranslated. Reverting so that it can re-use existing translated database.
I don't think there is a clash in the `followingCount` variable, so the change was probably unnecessary.
## Issue
Apparently, a user is experiencing 423 locked errors from the server, which should not happen given the locking mechanism plus the user wasn't trying to do concurrent uploads.
## Fix
Anyway, fix the Resume button so that at least they can try to resume.
* Refactor userChannelFollowIntro
* Add community based channels to signup auto follow
* Add German channels
* Remove main english channels and leave only community ones for auto follow
* Add ability to have claim searches auto-fetch up to 3 pages.
* make total_items and total_pages optional
* use auto pagination strategy when determining live claim
* Bump page size back to 50
## Issue
The ad tile causes a layout shift on certain screen/zoom, pushing CLS from green to red.
## Change
- Do replacement instead of insertion.
- Fixed "null lastCard" flow warning instead of suppressing it.
## Issue

We currently lazy-load the tiles in the category sections (but not the sections themselves, because we want to retain scroll position on Back action). This puts gray placeholders until the section is visible on screen. which turns out to be quite expensive, because the placeholders are animated, so we have a perpetual animation in the background after the homepage loads + user did not scroll.
## Change
Just disable the barely-noticeable animation for now.
There are alternatives, but probably not worth polluting the code with:
- Just like the thumbnails, use intersection observer to decide when to animate.
- Find solution to the "lazy load section + need to retain scroll position".

Now that we have a dedicated chromecast button, we don't need to hack Chrome's default cast button to appear on top of vjs-mobile-ui. The hack no longer works anyway, since the CSS exposure has been deprecated around mid 2020 -- it is still available, but its abilities has become less and less.
- The graphic was meant to be 50% of the card width, but was squished.
- Try to reduce scrolling by making everything fit in a 100% zoom on a 1080p screen.
The previous version was trying to fetch an optimized image with the exact size required, but the URL given was pre-optimized, so it wasn't working correctly. The additional work is also slow (seems to lock up mobile a bit), and since it wasn't functional, just removed it entirely.
It will be easier to just pre-reduce the image size to something suitable for a 1080p screen (the most common screen size at the moment).
