- Biggest change: Moved mobile player logic outside of fileRenderFloating into its own component fileRenderMobile, since there is no need for all that extra resizing and dragging code (for now, as mobile doesn't have a floating player)
- Moved player to the header height
- Removed rounded borders and margins
- Only pass necessary props
- Created new initialize play redux action
- Removed deprecated ~file app download~ keyboard functionality, moved preventDefault to videojs keyboard events to prevent ~space~ moving down the page
- moved doPrepareEdit incognito and channel calls to separate action
- same with download
- Tooltips
- No major differences between mobile or default returned components so removed condition since mobile style will be changed later on this branch
* Fix avatar occasionally stuck in spaceman
## Issue
Sometimes, we'll see a channel profile (e.g. in upper-right, in channel selector) stuck in the fallback Spaceman image.
This is due to OptimizedImage always starting with a blank src, and updated later when the mounted size has been determined. ChannelThumbnail, which uses OptimizedImage, captured the `onError` due to blank src.
## Fix
Don't mount the <img> until the optimum size has been determined.
* FileThumbnail: skip resolve if thumbnail url is specified
* UriIndicator: skip resolve if channel info is specified
* Notifications: disable batch resolve + use fetched data if available + fallback to resolve if n/a
The fallback is using the individual resolve when no direct data is provided and claim is undefined.
* Patch to restore position upon returning to video until more fully fleshed out fix can be introduced
* Add code to notify other open tabs of position saving
* Fix typo
* Wrap localStorage access in try/catch in event browser settings make it unavailable
* Remove formatting changes
* Move constant from 'pages' to 'player'
* Move dispatch out of try/catch
* Fixed typo
* fix RESOLVE_URIS_COMPLETED, to have one large action instead of hundreds of small ones

## Ticket
761 Should Posts have embed links
The original code also supported all text modes like PDF, all of which looked really bad, so it's unlikely someone is utilizing it.
Disabling them until a designer can fix 'em.
fixed the issue by removing the useRect, and putting in a resize event, going to try and make the code cleaner by removing all that logic and putting it in a hook.
## Issue
On large screens, the comment field and autoplay countdown can both be visible at the same time. The currently code only stops the timer when the countdown component is not visible on screen.
The page annoyingly navigates away while typing.
## Change
When servicing the timer, check if the current active element is an input type. As far as I know, there is no React equivalent for this.
1. Added size-specific error message.
2. Route whatever Vanwa's error instead of showing "unexpected json token". It's ugly, but at least it contains the reason string.
## Issue
Closes 385
## Approach
As mentioned in the ticket, the current places where that info is needed is in the Invites Page and Social Share Component.
1. Invites Page: it is already doing the fetch on mount, so no issue there.
2. Social Share: show spinner until the data is fetched.
## Issue
Closes "87 Repost - Top result should show followers properly"
The winning url for "bret" search is "lbry://bret", which is a repost.
## Change
We need to use the canon url to retrieved the fetched view count.
## Issue
A huge list like http://localhost:9090/$/list/d91815c1bc8c80a1f354284a8c8e92d84d5f07a6 (193 items) often produces fewer results in the final rendered list.
## Cause
The same list of IDs was passed into `claim_search`, and we just increment the `page`. However, it seems like `claim_search` does not honor the order between each call, and some results from the previous page took the place of the results in the next page. The total is the same, but there are now duplicates.
## Fix
When batching, slice the ID list ourselves to bypass the problem for now.
Commentron json params are usually underscored instead of camel-cased.
Double-checked commentron code:
```
// MentionedChannel channels mentioned in comment
type MentionedChannel struct {
ChannelName string `json:"channel_name"`
ChannelID string `json:"channel_id"`
}
```
The parameter should probably also be skipped instead of sending empty array, but leaving as-is for now since that is minor.

* Refactor doAbandonClaim parameters to only claim
- Gets txid and nout by default now, and passing claim allows using more data to verify ownership in case of txid:nout failing again
- Unused on modalRemoveCard
- Edited the comment on doCollectionDelete to explain better
* Fix doAbandonClaim failing to select my claim
* 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;
```
The quality API doesn't work on the default PNG but works on JPG.
- Switching to JPEG (100%) produces a smaller image than the default PNG. This covers most scenes.
- For some scenes, the size could still be larger than 2MB, so retry with JPEG (80%). For a 1080p image, this action produces the file at <1MB range. The quality still looks ok, I think.
* Add ordering Icons
* Refactor doCollectionEdit
- It required claims as parameter, when only uris are used to populate the collection, so that was changed to pass down the uris instead.
- There were unused and mostly unnecessary functions inside, for example the parameter claimIds was never used so it would never enter the claimSearch function which again would be used to generate uris, so it's better to just use uris as parameter

## Issue
656 Automatic language detection can't recognize de-DE as de
## Note
We do fallback to the main language, but seems like the code got lost ... not sure when, but probably during the CN/TW or PT-BR support. The refactor in 81e47300 still did that, but the refactor was reverted due to some compilation issue (should revisit that someday).
## Change
Put back equivalent code.
* Tooltip: add 'followCursor' and 'placement' option
When used on a `<span>` with short text but large empty area, the location of the tooltip was at the bottom-center of the area, which isn't ideal.
I think 'followCursor' should be the default, but making it optional for now to minimize testing.
Also added the 'placement' prop -- for the span case again, the mouse cursor is blocking the tooltip.
* View/Follower count: only use compact when > 10k
## Issue
Received complaints -- some people prefer to see full resolution.
## Changes
- As a compromise, we'll only apply the compact notation when the value is greater than 10k, with the exception of Tile View Count, where we'll always apply it due to space limitation.
- Also added Tooltip for Follower count.
## Fixes
- The string was always in 'en' locale in some instances, so it wasn't grouping up digits properly in Japanese (groups of 4), for example.
## Issue
When "Upcoming livestream" appears in a list, infinite scroll stops working.
## Cause
The difference between `mainEl.getBoundingClientRect().bottom` and `window.innerHeight` became slightly greater than 0.5, so it was deemed as "haven't reached the bottom".
## Change
Coincidently, I've been wanting to make the inf scroll load earlier (instead of after reaching the absolute bottom) to make the experience smoother, so added a 200px threshold, which is roughly the height of a tile. This gets us the new behavior while also fixes the original problem.
- activeChannelClaim is the comment creator, not receiver.
- doSeeNotifications marks a notification as "seen", and not "send a notification".
- Removed comments that are just explaining the syntax.
* 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
`doError` supported either a string or object, and so far there are no instances where the object version is used, so this enhancement should be safe to do without affecting anyone.
## Change
For the object version, support an additional `cause` parameter that will be logged but not show in the GUI.
## Issue
Closes 627 account header doesn't refresh on sign up / log in
## Changes
Looking back at "[Header] Changes, fixes and improvements (#493)", noticed that old code was looking at `has_verified_email` instead of just checking whether an email exists. So, restored original code.
This does have a side-effect of the Logout button not showing any email address underneath it immediately after sign up (with the flow cancelled). But I vaguely recall it was that way previously. A refresh cleans it up.
Perhaps another `user/me` when leaving the Sign Up page can make everything in sync, but this PR simpler to test.
* Add a setting to hide scheduled livestreams from home/following
* Add a hide button in the scheduled stream header.
* Fix typo + make sure pref is synced
## 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).

- 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.

## 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
https://www.notion.so/Performance-Fixes-927f825a5d674bd09323830be1d263af#1beab2fee011421492b56b88f68681a3
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".
lbry-desktop--6844
This negates 49abbecb.
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).
As noted in a comment, we need to be careful when adding props to `VideoJs` to avoid renders.
Used primitive strings (title, channelName) instead of passing the entire `claim`, which could have its reference invalidated.
## Ticket
426
## Issue
Currently, we check if we have any existing claims with the same name when uploading, i.e. "lbry://<name>". It does not include claims that you are still uploading, so you might end up with duplicate claims.
In the ticket, there is also the issue of 2 uploads sharing the same slot, causing the progress indicator to jumpy between the uploads. That has been fixed by using a guid instead of using `name`.
## Aside
I think there is another request to allow the same name but on different channel ... next time, next time ....
- Using `selectIsSubscribedForUri` instead, because the given uri is in Canon while the subscription list is in Permanent, so the result was always `false`.
- More css consolidation.
- More size and padding restoration (it wasn't 445's main intention to change sizes).
- Handle padding for mobile to hopefully make everything fit, especially for Playlists. We'll need an overflow menu to truely fix this for all screens.
## Scenario
`selectHasUnclaimedRefereeReward` updated --> `AppRouter` re-render --> `dynamicRoutes` regenerates (re-mounts) list of `DiscoverPage`s
## Fix
I think `selectHasUnclaimedRefereeReward` can be moved elsewhere and would solve the problem, but avoided that since I'm not familiar with rewards enough to do minimal testing.
Memoize the Category Page routes instead.
`GetLinksData` is somewhat expensive. The value won't change until user changes the window size or selects another homepage.
As we can't call an `effect` within a `memo`, we had to extract out `isLargeScreen` as an input parameter, which is fine as it makes `GetLinksData` more functional (functional programming).
## Issues
- So many `!important` overrides that makes it hard to customize.
- Weird "813px max-width" check -- it feels random, plus does not adjust accordingly to zoom-levels.
- The button text is not always vertically centered for all layout and zoom-levels because it is being centered using hardcoded margins.
- The 2 popups don't have consistent fonts and styling, plus their customizations are all over the place.
## Changes
- Try to remove as many unnecessary "!important" as possible. Adding specificity is sufficiently, and won't block other customizations.
- Try using `rem` instead of hardcoded margins. The icons/text/margin should resize accordingly per zoom-levels.
- I didn't replicate the "813px max-width" media check. If it is really necessary, please use `vjs-layout-*` to customize them instead.
- Consolidate the 2 popup menu customizations.
Each button should have the same touch area and roughly the same left-right margins. Currently, the Theater Button (or the Chromecast button) looks too far from Speed and too close from Autoplay. They should be evenly-spaced.
* Upload: fix redux key clash
## Issue
`params` is the "final" value that will be passed to the SDK and `channel` is not a valid argument (it should be `channel_name`). Also, it seems like we only pass the channel ID now and skip the channel name entirely.
For the anonymous case, a clash will still happen when since the channel part is hardcoded to `anonymous`.
## Approach
Generate a guid in `params` and use that as the key to handle all the cases above. We couldn't use the `uploadUrl` because v1 doesn't have it.
The old formula is retained to allow users to retry or cancel their existing uploads one last time (otherwise it will persist forever). The next upload will be using the new key.
* Upload: add tab-locking
## Issue
- The previous code does detect uploads from multiple tabs, but it was done by handling the CONFLICT error message from the backend. At certain corner-cases, this does not work well. A better way is to not allow resumption while the same file is being uploading from another tab.
- When an upload from 1 tab finishes, the GUI on the other tab does not remove the completed item. User either have to refresh or click Cancel. Clicking Cancel results in the 404 backend error. This should be avoided.
## Approach
- Added tab synchronization and locking by passing the "locked" and "removed" information through `localStorage`.
## Other considered approaches
- Wallet sync -- but decided not to pollute the wallet.
- 3rd-party redux tab syncing -- but decided it's not worth adding another module for 1 usage.
* Upload: check if locked before confirming delete
## Reproduce
Have 2 tabs + paused upload
Open "cancel" dialog in one of the tabs.
Continue upload in other tab
Confirm cancellation in first tab
Upload disappears from both tabs, but based on network traffic the upload keeps happening.
(If upload finishes the claim seems to get created)
* Settings Page: add warning for unsaved settings
## Issue
When entering Settings Page, sync-loop is disable until user exist Settings Page. If browser is closed, changes will be lost.
## Change
Add the usual browser-level modal popup.
Note that all modern browsers have stopped supporting customized messages, but I still left the message there for clarity. Tried to use our own toast for it, but the handler locks all GUI until it is serviced.
* app: remove unused props
* app: use lighter selectors
When all we need is to know if something exists or their count, use the ID version instead of the url/claim version to avoid the heavy transformation.
