## Issues from the initial attempt
- There are 2 versions of `Lbry` and `buildURI` -- the app and web-server version. There are subtle differences between them, and for the app case, importing the web-server version results in a query into an invalid URL.
- It changed the function from returning a string to returning a promise.
## Changes
- Since the new function (renamed to `fetchStreamUrl` for clarity) is currently only needed for web-server, I moved it into the `web` folder to avoid misuse in app.
- Await on the promise. Unfortunately, this also means the entire chain of function calls need to be adjusted to be `async`.
In the first attempt (PR 1497, 4d44d81f), the `generateStreamUrl` was tweaked to fetch a `Lbry.get`, which returns a promise. On top of a few async issues on its own, we also can't just simply `await` here since render functions need to be pure.
Fortunately, there is already redux structure for `get`, and Sean happened to already be passing all the required stuff here (sight beyond sight!), so it's just a matter of calling it.
Again, render functions need to be pure, so the fetch has be in an effect, so the component might take several renders to get the image painted. But oddly this seems to avoid the occurrence of showing the fallback spaceman image (just an observation, no proof of correlation).
## Issue
Ticket: 1484
The commit `7622e7a: Fix release time on category pages` passes in the `releaseTime` prop, which usually means we want that value to be override.
## Change
Only pass the prop when there 'freshness' filter is not active.
... because preference might be "Hide wallet = true". This eliminates the gap during login or boot up that temporarily shows the wallet balance.

- Requires an accompanying commit in `odysee-frontend`.
- The change assumes that the `odysee-frontend` is the only project that uses these files directly, i.e. other clients will use the API instead.
- consolidate cases that need to auto set an active channel (like edit page) into channelSelector component
- also for consistency since some components would do it with button click and others on page mount
- prevent clear function on those pages (kind of a manual process to insert each page into the router condition)
- reverts active channel functionality back to how it was previously, making the default channel simply a sync fallback and removing all complexity and confusion
From the previous commit, we are now showing toasts in the reverse order (latest to oldest).
Next, extend the "hide snack" timer to handle multiple snacks. It will dismiss them one by one, restarting itself until no more toasts.
Show a stacked GUI when there are multiple toasts.
Users can still manually dismiss the toasts.
Several issues with the clamping behavior:
- Problems trying to sync with the activeChannel setting.
- Corner-cases like unable to un-react because the comment and react channel was different; global mods not be able to change channels to do certain actions.
Just let the user know what are the channel(s) that they used to comment previously in the Toast.
If we can't confirm that user has not used another channel to comment, then don't allow commenting at all. Otherwise, there's no point doing the check.
## Why
Lost in a rebase. The GUI clamping was just meant to complement this (so that user knows what's going on), but ended up being the only thing that was pushed.
## Changes
- If the fetch failed or still in progress, we ask the user to wait or simply refresh the page.
- If already commented from another channel, bail and inform via Toast.
- this way, you can choose an active channel for something like commenting but when that component is unmounted, you always go back to the default channel (like leaving page)
