## Issue
#6332 <Thumbnail lazy-loader is too slow || Use browser-level lazy-loading>
## Change
Switch from "threshold-based check" to "viewport distance comparison" using the `rootMargin` parameter. The root is the viewport.
This change makes it closer to the native `loading="lazy"` behavior, where it starts to load when approaching the viewport. Chrome I believe uses 3000px distance -- I think 500px is a good compromise for now. Can adjust further.
## Future
- We are currently creating N instances of IntersectionObserver.
- https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/04/intersectionobserver
- "If you need to observe multiple elements, it is both possible and advised to observe multiple elements using the same IntersectionObserver instance by calling observe() multiple times."
This would probably need a refactor to make ClaimList (or something higher) own the IntersectionObserver.
It was waiting too near the viewport to load on certain zoom levels. This will maintain the same physical distance for the "approaching viewport" buffer regardless of zoom levels.
## Changes
- Change to canonical_url (with ':').
- The old format of 'claimName/claimId' needs to be supported still, since we shipped with it.
## Notes
- It would be nice to use regex instead of 2 separate paths, but I couldn't figure out how to make the koa variables work.
We currently handle major errors through ErrorBoundary. If the error is network related, ErrorBoundary ends up blank if it's components are lazy-loaded.
#codesplit
It won't work with the hardcoded value.
Still waiting for commentron (error code + data) enhancement. It's pretty weird having to parse the number, then add it back in.
## Issue
Sub item in <6119 Creator Settings: beyond "Muted Words">
## Changes
- Removed the existing 5s min gap on livestreams.
- Enabled the 'slow mode min gap' in Creator Settings
This change now affects both comments in claims and livestream comments.
## 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.
## Issue
When seeking on a video, RecommendedContent gets re-rendered, which causes the 20 ClaimPreviews to be re-rendered, several times. ClaimPreview has lots of children, plus it's constantly checking against the blacklist, among other things.
## Fix
The culprit seems to be the `recommendedContent` array -- the address may be different, but the contents are the same.
Do a deep compare instead.
- [x] (6332) The IntersectionObserver method of lazy-loading loads cached images visibly late on slower devices. Previously, it was also showing the "broken image" icon briefly, which we mended by placing a dummy transparent image as the initial src.
- Reverted that ugly transparent image fix.
- Use the browser's built-in `loading="lazy"` instead. Sorry, Safari.
- [x] Size-optimization did not take "device pixel ratio" into account.
- When resizing an image through the CDN, we can't just take the dimensions of the tag in pixels directly -- we need to take zooming into account, otherwise the image ends up blurry.
- Previously, we quickly disabled optimization for the channel avatar in the Channel Page because of this. Now that we know the root-cause, the change was reverted and we now go through the CDN with appropriate sizes. This also improves our Web Vital scores.
- [x] Size-optimization wasn't really implemented for all ChannelThumbnail instances.
- The CDN-optimized size was hardcoded to the largest instance, so small images like sidebar thumbnails are still loading images that are unnecessarily larger.
- There's a little-bit of hardcoding of values from CSS here, but I think it's a ok compromise (not something we change often). It also doesn't need to be exact -- the "device pixel ratio" calculate will ensure it's slightly larger than what we need.
- [x] Set `width` and `height` of `<img>` to improve CLS.
- Addresses Ligthhouse complaints, although technically the shifting was addressed at the `ClaimPreviewTile` level (sub-container dimensions are well defined).
- Notes: the values don't need to be the final CSS-adjusted sizes. It just needs to be in the right aspect ratio to help the browser pre-allocate space to avoid shifts.
- [x] Add option to disable lazy-load Channel Thumbnails
- The guidelines mentioned that items that are already in the viewport should not enable `loading="lazy"`.
- We have a few areas where it doesn't make sense to lazy-load (e.g. thumbnail in Header, channel selector dropdown, publish preview, etc.).
## Issue
The scroll listener never unregisters, and is always registering itself on every scroll. I believe it was done that way to also handle the case of "element is already in viewport when mounted".
## Change
Tried to separate both "element is already in viewport when mounted" and "element scrolled into viewport" into different effects.
The timeout value used is a bit arbitrary, but is needed because the initial size is (0, 0), and to debounce any layout shifts. Reasoning: If an element is explicitly placed under this wrapper, the additional delay is acceptable since it's meant to be lazy-loaded anyway.

## Issue
3779 RSS feed for channels
## Initial implementation details
- RSS only (not atom)
- Grabs latest 10 entries (Beamer have concerns)
## Credit
Referenced the community version mentioned in 3779
- 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
With autoplay off, clicking on another video from the Recommended section didn't update the video poster.
## Fix
Made a mistake assuming that the whole component will be re-mounted, so was only setting the thumbnail once.
Even with the caching changes, a 150kB thumbnail still takes 1-2s to fetch. This impacts the score.
## Change
(1) Start with a large-enough placeholder image (has to be larger than the final image -- inflating doesn't count), then delay just enough for scoring, then switch to the real thumbnail.
(2) Since we are now doing post-mount stuff, we have the exact dimensions to optimize the claim thumbnail. This reduces the typically-several-MBs thumbnail to kBs.
These are chunks that will be requested immediately after ui.js when opening the homepage, so consolidate them into 1 chunk to reduce network overhead.
More work can/should be done to reduce the secondary chunk.
Make immediate GUI feedback to convey the current status, which can be the following:
- typing
- waiting lighthouse results
- waiting claim resolve
- no results or failed.
## Issue
6301: don't use CDN for GIF thumbnails
## Note
Just a minor mistake in the recent thumbnail refactoring; left out the handling when `allowGif` is true.
While Lighthouse allows looser searching like "Tom from LBRY", it doesn't show the expected results when direct channel name with partial ID is entered to disambiguate.
## Issue
6236 Add context menu to file page
## Notes
The download button actually handles a lot of things -- generating 'streamingUrl', differences between Web and Desktop, download progress for Desktop, etc. A simpler fix would be to put something else (maybe "Share") into the overflow menu instead.
Anyway, went ahead to do it per 6236, but retained the item for Desktop since we need a progress label.
This is the list of channels that authorized me as a moderator.
Similar to `moderation.BlockList`, this will only be fetched at startup/reload for now. I don't think there is a need to constantly monitor this. Users just need to refresh to see the moderator GUI elements after the delegator has granted them access.
## Issue
Closes 6159 "Support Comments Enabled/Disabled for comment.List API"
## New behavior
- `disable-comments` tag will block the comments component entirely.
- `settings.commentsEnabled`:
- When false, will pause comment fetching, posting and replying.
- Any already-fetched comments will stay on screen (unless user reloads/F5).
(1) Reduced the debouncing duration so that the final element can be rendered asap after visible.
- If the user is scrolling non-stop, it would continue to debounce and the GUI ends up not showing the final element.
- 25ms seems enough to prevent the initial false-positive that occurs in the scenario of "adjacent/upper elements resized late, so our element was briefly on screen when mounted". If not enough, we can make this a parameter.
(2) Removed `lastUpdateDate` that was a quick hack for Recommended section. We don't use it on that element anymore, so remove the hack to keep the file clean.
(1) The previous code assumed the element is always smaller than the screen. When used on large items like "homepage categories", it'll never load because the element exceeds the screen width or height.
(2) Added optional placeholder element. This allows us to put a cheaper element while waiting, so that the layout doesn't shift when we finally render. This is visually better when scrolling, and complies with Web Vitals.
## Issue

## Issue
5873 Unify swap and buy flow // swaps round 2
## Changes
- Added "Buy|Swap" tab in the Buy Page and display the Swap component when needed.
- Removed 'Swap' button from Wallet Page.
- "Buy More" and related tooltips updated to "Buy or Swap Credits".
1. Lock the width of the second pane so that the layout doesn't shift after the image is fetched.
2. The image is huge, so pass through the optimizer.
- Wait until the container is mounted to get the exact image width.
Unfortunately, it still takes 0.8s on average to fetch the image, regardless of how small the image has been optimized.

## Issue
6135
While waiting for the lazy-loader IntersectionObserver to initialize, and for the real image to be fetched, an undefined `src` results in the "broken image" thumbnail.
## Fix
Use a transparent image as the starting point. This visually retains the current behavior but minus the "broken image" part.
## Issue
Closes "6056 Extend notificaiton text to show more characters"
## Notes
Looking at the code and comments, I couldn't figure out what was the reason for adding the width constraint (just in case this breaks something).
My guesses:
- Try not to make the rhs thumbnail too far apart from the lhs thumbnail.
- Try not to make the rhs thumbnail misaligned due to dynamic width of the "xx days ago" string on the far right.
## Changes:
Extended the width as much as possible, while retaining some gap before the "xx days ago" string and "unread dot" so that thumbnails stay align in the general case.
The components still reflows nicely (as it did previously) per window-size.
## Issue
GUI fix for 5979 `claim search runs twice sometimes and "refreshes" view`
The search query might encounter minor alterations after rendered (e.g. for the case of 5979, the `moderation.Blocklist` data came late). The code currently resets the result to 0 before initiating `claim_search`, so we see the GUI blink.
## Idea
There is a possibility that the query-change does not alter the final results in the end. Instead of reseting to the results to zero, hold on to the previous results until the fetch is done.
## Known issue
The tiles no longer blink if there is no change, but the "LIVE" indicator still does. I didn't want to propagate the info too deep, so leaving as is for now. It can be considered a feature ("blinking LIVE indicator" :))
## Results
- No blinking if results stay the same.
- Minimal tile-shifting if new ones are added or removed.
- In the current Odysee homepage, reduced React commits from 88 to 76 (save some CPU cycles).
## Issue
The "Muted Words" PR elevated Comment-API errors so we can handle it (previously, it goes unnoticed). This broke the other Comment functions because the spammer mitigation might return an error, causing `Promise.all` to bail early.
## Fix
Changed to `Promise.allSettled` and reconstructed the results. This will make it equivalent to the code prior to the "Muted Words" PR.
## Changes:
1) TagSearch: hide the "control tags" in the Creator Settings page (irrelevant).
2) TagSearch: show the "control tags" when creating/editing Channel (let's use `setting.CommentsEnabled` instead).
3) TagSearch: show the "control tags" when creating/editing Content (`disable-comments` can be used to block comments at the per-claim level, e.g. allow comments in general but block only for specific claims).
## Missing pieces:
For (2) and (3), some work is needed to hide the comment GUI when `setting.CommentsEnabled` is disabled for a particular channel. That flag is not ready in Commentron yet, so I'm not sure how this will be done at the moment. In other words, the checkbox does nothing at the moment.
## Potential flaw:
This change will hide all control tags. If we have more tags in the future and would like to selectively disable some, we'll have to change this parameter to an array instead. Since the usage is not widespread at the moment, a single `disableControlFlag` seems cleaner (don't over-think it yet).
## Issue
Part of `5834 Performance investigation`
In a homepage with 120 tiles, the lists get rendered 3 times during initial update. The sub-components are updating recursively (will investigate), so instead of 120 DateTime renders, we have 1000+ renders.
The resolved DateTime string for `timeAgo` rarely changes, and even if the string was "a few seconds ago", there's no real need to constantly update it.
## Change
Require a minimum 1-minute delta when deciding whether the component should update. Clients can change this value as needed.
## Test
- [x] Verified `shouldComponentUpdate` doesn't end up taking more time than not having it (it's in micro-second range, compared to the millisecond render).
- [x] Profiler showed no significant improvement for low number of DateTime components, but for the 120 DateTime case, almost 1/4 of a second is saved.
- FileRenderInitiator: we don't display if it's not Audio or Video ("playables"). But only do that if it's free or was purchased, otherwise there's no button to buy it.
- FileRenderInline: if the user have not purchased it, don't show anything (not even the spinner).
* Markdown: make '>Quote' look less like a banner
Quotes should be subtle as it is primarily intended for redundant content, but currently it looks more like a banner that brings lots of focus.
This change is also background-independent. Currently, the Quotes in Posts doesn't look like it has a background color, because it happened to be the same as the Post's background. This makes it inconsistent with Quotes in Comments. Let's just always make it blend in + grayish text.
* Markdown: inline code tweak
- better symmetry
- less spacing to the left and right, since it's common to already have a space in the sentence (even if it doesn't, like in CJK, the new spacing looks sufficient).
* 4481: Use regular font in Markdown Editor
I think we should not use Monospace fonts for the Markdown Editor since we are not coding.
Similar to Github, code-blocks and inline-code only gets converted to monospace in the Preview.
## Issue
- Closes 5998 Theme color problems
- "_Seeing the theme go blue when a modal pops up. There's a change in color on Odysee branch also when this happens (but not as apparent)_"
##
1. Fix overlay background color back to gray theme.
2. Also, fixed the Active Toggle Button back to primary colors.
3. Fix hard-to-read "videojs time tooltip". Using the primary colors is a nice touch, but people have complained in Discord that it's too dim given it's transparent background. Just use 'white' instead. Don't use '--color-white' since that's a bit dimmed down.
4. Fix odd highlight in the volume slider (the bright primary color was used in the background).
* Fix error text color for dark mode.
Don't alter --color-danger since that color works fine as a backdrop for the Toast Message.
* Remove duplicates
* Fix typo
* Fix primary/secondary button and notice_message
* Fix dimmed checkbox
* #6006 Switch from 'coolGray' to 'gray'
* Fix invisible nag (missing --color-orange)
## 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.
It's useful to show the thumbnail as the player's backdrop when Video Autoplay is OFF, but it's a wasted fetch when it's ON because the videojs component will be blocking it.
Although it's the same image as the ClaimPreview, this one will be in full size, so a fetch will always happen.
Aside: videojs handles the backdrop for the audio and embed case, so this change won't affect those items.
```
<VideoJs
poster={isAudio || (embedded && !autoplayIfEmbedded) ? thumbnail : ''}
/>
```
Future: for "mobile + autoplay=OFF", we should consider using the optimized thumbnail. 6074 should help.
* Restore "use cdn for channel thumbnails"
This reverts commit e7adc607fa.
* ChannelThumbnail: disable optimization in Channel Page and for GIFs
## Issue
5564: Don't use optimized URLs on channel pages (profile/banner)
## Notes
This is not the best/full solution yet, but it is better than what we have to today (one step in the right direction).
Optimized channel thumbnail size is currently hardcoded to a lowest common denominator.
- Pro(s):
- For images used in multiple places (different sizes) in a page, the total time needed to get the optimized version for each size is too much. Also, the optimizer seems to increase the size of the image in some cases. So, getting 1 image and re-using it is faster for this scenario.
- Simpler code (no need to mount first -> get dimension -> load image)
- Cons:
- We aren't fully optimizing the size, so not really addressing Core Web Vitals score problem.
- e.g. in the front page, we could have used a smaller image for the channel thumbnails.
- We haven't address the problem with large screen sizes.
* Restore channel selector
This reverts b5cc0bb42d
* ChannelThumbnail: fix lazy-loading
- Closes 6066: Revisit lazy-loading Channel thumbnails
- Properly fixes 5933: Thumbnail lazy-load causes ChannelSelector icon to not update.
- Add effect-dependency on `channelThumbnail` and `thumbError`.
- Really perform the lazy-loading now.
- `data-src` was not used, so it wasn't actually lazy loading previously.

I believe this also picks up the y18n security fix.
* Handle dark theme and general style fixes.
* [+redux] Change how release_time is edited.
- `releaseTime` is now a number instead of a string, matching `release_time`. It was getting confusing what the variable units were.
- `releaseTime` will always match `release_time` for an edit. It will be used in the GUI to reset just the date to the original, instead of having to reset the entire form.
- `releaseTimeEdited` will be used by `updatePublishForm` in the GUI to represent the desired new release time. Set to `undefined` if we don't want to change the date.
* Add 'Reset|Now|Default' buttons instead of overloading the date-picker's "X" button.
Before this, the "X" button resets to the original (previous) publish date for Edits, and resets to current time for New Claims. This is very confusing, so added explicit text-based buttons -- hopefully this is more intuitive.

## Issue
6010: hyperchat send display issues with GIF profiles
The FreezeFrameWrapper have no `src` to freeze due to the lazy loading.
## Fix
Delay the freezing by making the lazy-load effect return a state to indicate when then `src` has been loaded.
Since the lazy-loader will `unobserve` after loading, the state will never go back to false, so we don't need to handle the case of preventing `new FreezeFrameWrapper` from being called multiple times from it's effect.
## Issue
Closes 6022 Notifications: Creator Commented
## Changes
- Beautify - show creator icon instead of generic bell.
- Link to comment directly instead of the claim.
* Add ICON.INFO - "i" within a circle.
Basically, an inverted ICON.ALERT.
* Posts: restore "Tip unlock | Claim details" component
## Issue
5882: tip unlock + claim id detials missing from markdown posts view
## Notes
The easiest solution would be to put `FileDescription` into posts, but I think that goes against the clean up of the Post layout, where the focus should be on the content. The faded style of the File Details section seems too distracting, plus we don't want the File Description anyway.
Fixed by:
- Make the existing "LBC amount" clickable to show credit details. An additional padlock will appear if the content is yours and you have tips to unlock.
- Add an "info" icon beside it to show file details.
These "link" buttons are usually lit, but I dimmed it in this case to make them stand out less. Again, focusing on Post content instead of buttons.
* Show full notification text via tooltip
The tooltip fixes the system notifications problem (mentioned below), and also allows one to quickly read the entire comment without actually having to visit the comment.
Currently, we only show about 50 characters in the notification, truncating it to an ellipsis when exceeded.
This is not much of a problem for dynamic text (e.g. comments) since the full text can be seen after clicking on the notification (brings you to the comment). For system notifications, this is problematic since there's no other way to know what the full text was.
Tried to dynamically change the font size to auto fit, but it wasn't fruitful. Even if it did work, it'll probably won't be legible for a 2000-character comment, plus the entire list will look weird with various font sizes.
* Beautify "missed out" notification; bring user to Verify page.
## Issue
6021: Notifications: Missed Out
## Changes
- The notification already brings the user to the `/rewards`. Tweaked it to directly enter the Verify Page.
- Use LBC icon instead of generic bell for this notification.
* Fix ability to delete own comments in livestream
## Issue
5832: can't remove own comments in live stream mode (if you have multiple channels?)
Looks like it was just missing `commentIsMine` for the new component.
* Disable editing livestream comments
It doesn't do anything at the moment, anyways.
* Disable deleting hyperchats
The "total tipped" will get deducted when hyperchats are deleted, which doesn't make sense (doesn't reflect actual total that the creator received).
* Swap: populate 'status' from 'btc/swap' response instead of waiting for first websocket input.
## Issue
Clsoes 5975: swap stop at processing even though response comes through
## Notes
Occasionally, the first websocket message doesn't come through (seems like the commerce didn't send?). There's really no need to wait for one more 'status=NEW' message to ensure the right data is being populated (being over-cautious here).
* Beautify the "exact amount" advice.
Scenarios where active livestreams will not appear:
- creation date is way back.
- homepage section options excludes livestreams.
Make an explicit `claim_search` but with `has_no_source` if the client wants `liveLivestreamsFirst`.
If there are lots of channels with livestreams, there's a possibility that the final list will be larger than what was requested. We could trim it to be within the original `options.pageSize` range, but I left that out for now.
It would have been a clean implementation through `renderProperties`, but due to the need to adjust the opacity of `claim-preview__file-property-overlay` (the parent elemtn), I ended up having to create a new `live` attribute.
Differences with the original from 'livestreamList/view.jsx':
- Returns null instead of an empty object for the empty case. This removes the need for clients to create a temp array to determine if the list is empty ('Object.keys(x).length').
- Allow option to not periodically refresh by setting the interval to 0.
While looking at the next RC, I noticed the new languages were lost. I recall the new language commit included some refactoring which had to be reverted due to some webpack issue.
Re-add those languages in the old (non-refactored) method.
## 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
Channel links were showing the "This channel isn't staking enough LBRY Credits for link previews." -- channel links shouldn't be showing previews in the first place.
## Change
Moved the logic into `ClaimLink`, which is the better place to put it anyway. I think I was trying to not touch as many components as possible (i.e. not passing `allowPreview` down too many layers) in the initial implementation. This caused the `isChannel` consideration to be missed.
These only work in the `selectThumbnail` component. If it's small enough, it'll get past the transaction limit-check, but ultimately it doesn't appear correctly in the claim list.
It'll probably appear correctly if we tweak the ClaimPreview code, but since this also fails the Google Video metadata test, I think we should disallow this.
## Issue
5923
Thumbnail errors were just being used in `selectThumbnail`. The form doesn't know about it and was using allowing invalid thumbnails like 'helloworld' to pass through.
I believe the rest of the GUI is setting 'thumbnail'.
'thumbnail_url' is only populated right before publishing.
So, the flag was always false -- we just never see the error on screen because the component is incorrectly hidden (fix for this is coming up next...)

## Issue
5873: Rounds 2 of LBC swaps
## Notes
It was an intended feature to include the currency -- I can paste the full string into my note book, while pasting into wallet apps like Exodus will automatically trim off the currency anyway.
Regardless, removed the 'feature' :D
(1) Due to IAPI/commerce query limit, and also to not pollute the wallet with infinite chargeCodes, we'll only show the last 10 swaps. Beamer mentioned that it's possible to tracked back the past chargeCodes of the user, and potential provide a `list` endpoint to handle disputes.
(2) If a user explicitly removed an entry, don't repopulate that entry even if websocket returned an updated status for it. While it might be useful to handle accidental removals, it looks weird when the list gets repopulated with 'Expired' entries.
(3) Add sanitization when repopulating the chargeCodes from the wallet data (i.e. remove 'null' entries).
(4) Always repopulate the list per wallet data so every instance looks the same.
- For the active swap, switch from polling to websocket. The returned data is now the Charge data from the commerce, so some parsing will be required.
- Allow the user to send other coins that the commerce supports.
- Only save the 'chargeCode' to the wallet. The other data can be repopulated from this.
- Store the receipt currency. I'm not sure if the commerce supports sending bits from various coins. Take the coin that came with the 'COMPLETED' message for now.
- Fix 'lbc' calculation to match IAPI side.
- Allow users to see full detauls from "View Past Swaps".
- String cleanup
- GUI cleanup.
While it would be nice if we can swap anonymously through Desktop, the IAPI will tie a wallet address with an account. Final decision is to require authentication.
- Users should be able to see the entered and promised amount, otherwise they might forget how much to send over.
- This change also prepares for the future upgrade to support multiple coins.
## Issue
- Patch for 5316: "Home and End keys not working in search box"
## Notes
Seems like 'shift+home' wasn't highlighting the text. 'shift+end' works.
Was pretty sure I tested that previously. Anyway, adding the direction variable seems to fix it.
- The icon makes the screen too busy when there are lots of images in a page.
- Use src as the last resort for the text (I though `title` and `alt` was mandatory in markdown; apparently not).
- Re-organize the return statement of 'NotificationsPage' a bit, otherwise the entire page will reload (blink) every time the drop-down value is changed due to the 'fetching' flag.
- Retained the original behavior of (only showing a blank page + spinner) on the very first load. I think there is merit in not showing the buttons immediately (e.g. when not logged in and `/$/notifications` is accessed directly).
Initially, the filtered list was done at the component level, and the list was simply a subset of `notifications`. But due to the limit issue explained in 5694, we now query the filtered list instead.
Considerations:
- The filtered list could contain items not listed in the 'All' list. We could add a string at the bottom of 'All' that says "not all items retrieved" if this confuses the user.
- The unseen count needs to be based on 'All' and not the filtered one, so that data needs to be stashed somehow (can't re-use the array).
Use 2 arrays for now instead of trying to accumulate "all" and "filtered" into 1 array.
## Issue
4945: Simplify / revamp search filters for odysee (and lbry.tv)
## Changes
- Tweaked the "claim type = file | channel | everything" a little to hopefully make it more intuitive.
- Added "Sort By".
- Added "Upload Date".
- Fixed the affected files to handle both Desktop and Odysee.
- Tweaked the layout to be more condensed so that we can see some results as we change the filter.
- Added animations.
- Added "Exact match" option that helps user to surround with quotes.
- This change makes it work for both Desktop and Odysee. When merging back to Odysee, just take the file from `master` (barring any changes from someone else).
- Given that we'll be opening up the search filter for Odysee, the only "simple site" customization that was back-ported is `free_only=true`.
## Issue
- Redo 5636: Disable video previews in comments/posts made by channels below a certain channel staked level
- Closes 5738: expand video preview level requierment to markdown images also
I think using the 'values' for the keys should be fine since each language name is unique. A key-clash would also help us catch mistakes like not differentiating sub-languages if support any (e.g. "English" vs. "English (British)")
Had to cast to String for lint.
- SUPPORTED_SUB_LANGUAGE_CODES[] that I introduced was pretty redundant when SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES[] already hold the information. The logic to ignore sub-languages (i.e. reduce the locale's "en-GB" to "en" is now located in getDefaultLanguage()).
- SUPPORTED_BROWSER_LANGUAGES[] and SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES[] look so similar and hard to tell what the former is for at first glance. The functionality to map 'zh-CN' to 'zh-Hans' is now handled by resolveLanguageAlias(), which makes the intention clearer.
This leaves us with a single list -- SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES[], whose key also tells us the desired language code to use.
Also, clients now need to call `resolveLanguageAlias` to map any language code aliases, as they differ depending on how it is queried (e.g. `navigator.language` vs. `app.getLocal()` uses different standards).
I think we no longer need to explicitly migrate existing user's 'zh-CN' into 'zh-Hans' because the rest of the system will always use the desired language code as long as 'resolveLanguageAlias' is called appropriately. e.g. the system uses `selectLanguage` and `selectLanguage` calls `resolveLanguageAlias`.

Closes 5000: AutoPlay in Floating Player only works one time

(2) When video is floating and autoplayed the next video.
## Issue
Closes#5720: Edit: channel-selector should re-populate with original channel
## Notes
'incognito' was not set to false, causing the 'ChannelSelector' to select Anonymous.
- remove anon option in channel dropdown when livestream tab is selected
- attempt to fill publish form with current active channel name just prior to publishing to (edge condition)
- edge condition occurs when user fills out form fully. User switches to Post (which allows anon in drop down selector). User selects Anon channel, then switches back to the livestream tab. The form was previously updated with `channel: undefined` but does not get changed when clicking the livestream tab. So we just updated the form one last time prior to publishing as a livestream
- Show most recent livestream claim on livestream setup page instead of first livestream claim
## Issue
Closes 5721: Publish-Preview updates
## Changes
(1) Match the recent "incognito" change that sets the channel to `undefined` via `updatePublishForm`. This change would also cover `null` -- I don't think it's being used to represent something else, so showing "Anonymous" for `null` should be fine.
(2) Added channel icons, so it'll be more obvious to the user if they accidentally selected the wrong channel.
## Issue
Closes 5687: Ensure post mode has no text limit
## Changes
- `type="markdown"` can now have unlimited length if clients don't define `textAreaMaxWidth`.
- The internal default limit of 2000 is narrowed down to `type=textarea`.
## Issue
Closes 3661: Autoplay + Related go into loops ( infinite ) sometimes
## GUI
Push the actual "next" item into the top of the list.
## History search
1. Skip if the next item is itself.
2. The URL stored in the history comes in various forms, so a direct comparison won't work.
- There's also a weird case where the URL differs by just a little (p.09 vs p-09), but with the same claim ID:
lbry://vacuum-tube-computer-p.09-–-building#5212bc8bc63c373e2bf1ebc5b765595ed7b6514d
lbry://vacuum-tube-computer-p-09-–-building#5212bc8bc63c373e2bf1ebc5b765595ed7b6514d
Check the claim_id as well to cover cases like these.
## Issue
Closes 5537: Allow youtube sync new pass language to api
## Notes
- Default language for the selector comes from browser (`navigator.language`)
## Changes
- Restore original code for how Volume and Mute is restored.
- Playback rate will be only change that gets "re-restored" in "loadedmetadata".
## 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).
## Issue
Closes 4936: Don't process markdown formatting as lbry:// url previews
## Approach
Preamble:
- We want to convert plain `https://lbry.tv/befreeonlbry` to an embed, but not `[blah](https://lbry.tv/befreeonlbry)`.
- At the markdown/remark level, both formats resolve to the same node type, having a `link` and a `text`, with the 'text' being auto-filled with the `href` if there is no label.
Fix by assuming the link is the non-labelled format if the `text` is the same as `href`.
This opens up one corner-case that we can't handle, which is when the user explicitly set the label using the href, e.g. `[https://lbry.tv/befreeonlbry](https://lbry.tv/befreeonlbry)`. This will still resolve to an embed. There's not enough data at the parsed level differentiate this case -- we would need to parse the content ourself before `remark`, which I think is not worth it.
## Aside/Reminder
If you see that the link doesn't resolve to an embed regardless of the format used, that's probably just due to `5636: Disable video previews in comments/posts made by channels below a certain channel staked level`
- Channel About
- description: seems handy to have a preview, so pulled in the "allowed" logic.
- email: shouldn't render preview at all
- website: shouldn't render preview at all
- Publish Preview:
- description: there's not enough height anyway, so don't render preview.
## Issue
Closes 5193: Add filtering on notifications page
## Approach
- Add a combo box, and simply filter out the notifications based on the combo box value.
- Selection state is persistent, but reset to All if there are unread ones when entering the page.
- Tell the user that "no notifications" could be due to the filter.
## Issue
- Closes "Wunder: Keyboard typing confusion" (https://discord.com/channels/362322208485277697/377895389992321064/784309720293965824)
- Closes 5316: "Home and End keys not working in search box"
## New behavior
Home/End key now behaves like it normally would in a typical text box, i.e.:
- Brings you to the start or end position.
- Adding a <Shift> key also selects the text from the current position.
To select the top or bottom item in the Suggestion Popup List, use Ctrl+Home/End instead (without this change, it was just Home/End previously).
## Approach
Adding the listener at the element level allows us to run it before the component's listener.

Closes 5597: batch resolves on channel search page
Do a batch-resolve immediate after getting the results and before setting the result variable, as the latter would result in the Claim* components resolving individually.
I enabled `returnCachedClaims` -- I assumed that's a reasonable thing to do. I don't see other places use it, though, so highlighting it here.
## 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)
Restore video loading circle

Closes 5515: All videos marked as read when clicking a single notification from notification list
## Change:
- Augment `doReadNotifications` to only clear the given IDs. If the argument is `null` or is not a valid array (e.g. when used as a click handlers, the click event object is passed in), all notifications will be cleared.
- Augment `NOTIFICATION_READ_COMPLETED` to only clear the given IDs.
## Notes:
- Wasn't sure of the API will fail if the ID is invalid, so I start from `unreadNotifications` first, then only filtering it further with the given ID. Otherwise, we could just skip the `unreadNotifications` filtering.

- Renamed `closeInlinePlayer` to `clearPlayingUri` to reflect it's actual function.
- Add additional check to see if the current video is actually inline before closing it.
Wanted to refactor out an actual `closeInlinePlayer`, but let's wait until there are more usages.
Looking at a few other files hoping to understand the convention for components, I moved the videojs.scss file to where all CSS related files appear to be in the project.

Closes 4505: Highlight url instead of text when embedding a link
_Too used to Github's editor behavior, so was annoyed at this too. It makes more sense to highlight the URL placeholder since that needs to be filled._
For to the unhighlighted case, then the cursor should be at the Label.
## Changes
Until the upstream code decides to fix it (`github::Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor/issues/85`), we'll handle it ourself by listing to the 'changes' events.
## Issue

5219: Add content type and language filters to channel page
## Notes
There is a quirk in the dropdown (see 5542: Language filter doesn't reflect effective setting if language is outside of `SEARCHABLE_LANGUAGES[ ]`)
Included the memes as well per translator request. I've been excluding it since I wasn't sure if memes can be translated, but I guess they can change it to something equivalent in their language.
'Copy' is always disabled for the case of Claim previews since no text is selected. User cannot select text anyway since a left-up event would invoke the Claim's `click` event. 'Copy' is there simply because of re-using `openContextMenu`.

Closes 5523: timestamps not interpreted in some cases
## Notes
`remark-breaks` previously kept repeating the same index in the loop, causing some corner-cases to be parsed oddly. I added code to address that.

## Issue
2731: Searches with forward slashes returns no results
## Change
The slash-removal came from (0db20834f9).
Removing the 2 `replace(/\//, ' ')` from lbry-desktop fixes it, but this PR assumes the slash-removal is intentional to cover something else. So, we'll make the Search side do the same thing to match what's happening in `doSearch`.
A little bit ugly, but there's already a comment about this in `makeSelectSearchUris`, so it'll probably get cleaned up in the future.
## Issue
Closes#5392 better support for non-standard resolution videos
It's not actually cropped -- the control bar was opaque.
## Change
Use 0.80 opacity to somewhat see the full picture.
Using 0.5 or less would be even better, but due to the default tiny size of the control bar, the text becomes unreadable (it's readable if you zoom the browser to get larger text). Don't want to mess with sizing for now, so using 0.80 to get the best of both worlds.
## Issue
5438: Keep floating player in view area
## Changes
- Restore correct z-index
- The bug came as a side effect of cbac2174. Redo cbac2174 to cover both close button and floating player.
- Remove wobbling when dragging to bottom-right.
- The extra gap introduced is fighting against react-draggable. If gaps are needed, handle it entire ourselves or do it somewhere in react-draggable; neither is worth the effort, so the gap was removed.
- Fix i18n concat problem for some languages.
- Display the same label (specifically, the recommended aspect ratio) for both URL and UPLOAD. I think the string "File to upload" can be omitted, but I left it as-is.
- Remove old/unused strings.
Continually recreating video.js instance on render is bad.
Instead, persist a single instance, and simply update the source and poster on the existing instance.
I'm a bit wary of adding props to this component due to the 'dispose' call, but I think 'source' and 'claim' will update together, so it shouldn't be an issue?
## Issue
5308: Ability to choose default play speed and theatre mode or regular playback size
## Comments
Initially, I used the local storage, as per 'muted' and 'volume' -- I thought that would be appropriate.
Later, I saw that Theater Mode is already using Client Settings, so I re-did everything to match that.
Also, there is an accompanying commit in lbyr-redux.

5204: Don't autoplay when commenting/video off screen
## Change
Previously, the checking was only done during a scroll event. We also need to check if the user has already scroll down before the component was invoked.
## Issue
- The previous regex uses lookback (I think ES2018?) which Safari has yet to implement.
- There were a few bugs in the previous regex too, like missing out multiple timestamps in a line, or parsing "62:02" as "2:02" (although YT does this as well).
- The previous method searched too deep (matchAll) on each 'locate' call, which was wasteful.

5130: Support mailto hyperlinks / urls in markdown
## Change
The markdown components already support mailto, just that the logic here ended up making it a 'ClaimLink'
## Issue
5090: When sorting channels, switching between Trending/Top/New returns viewer to the top of the page
## Approach
- Add an optional parameter to `ClaimListDiscover/Header` to add an additional anchor ID when building a new search URL.
- Clients then add the anchor ID on the desired location.
- The code that handles the scrolling then checks if the `location` contains an anchor hash. If it does, we'll scroll to that element; else, the existing behavior will be used.
## Issues
(1) 4783: New search query does not reset to the top
(2) The current way that Tag Search resets the position can be overridden by the AppRouter's call.
## Approach
Listen to `search` changes as well. This basically covers any search param changes.
Components should probably not call `window.scrollTo` directly as the AppRouter's call might override it.
Wider post area for bigger text, while keeping the character count the same or less.
Removed `overflow: auto;` as it was not required and was creating unnecessary scrollbars when margins were incorrectly calculated.
## Issue
The "Trending for xxx" string was being resolved and translated twice, so it often re-appears in the string list during development.
## Change
It seems like `getHomepage` is repopulated every time, so I think it is safe to just resolve and translate `title` at that level.
## Extra
Remove unused "Creator analytics are down" message per recent changes.
## Issue
- Personally annoyed of having to switch to landscape just to change the setting. There's still space for it.
- This serves as a quick fix until "4712: Video: Allow access to all control in small screen" is figured out
The only downside to this new implementation is that the top-most (or right-most?) scrollbar won't get the customization. Any other sub-components (e.g. sidebar) will get the customization.
My guess is that the "top-most" scrollbar is above the `main-wrapper`. I'm not sure if we can (or should) add another className higher than App.
The impetus for the customization was the ugly sidebar anyway, so at least we covered that.
## Issue
4727: Sidebar's transient scrollbar doesn't fit in the Dark Theme
## Approach
The 'webkit' API works on Chrome, but Firefox ignores it and uses it's own fancy scrollbar when 'webkit' is used (can't seem to change any properties). It's better than the current look, but still doesn't fit our theme, plus it makes the product look different on different browsers.
Firefox now supports the new 'scrollbar' API, so we can now tweak the scrollbar, but the API only provides limited attributes.
Don't wanna complicate things by using Javascript, so we'll use Firefox's limited attributes as the common denominator and just live with a plain, rectangle scroll bar BUT with better color to match the theme.
## Issue:
5044: Auto hide cursor on video on static hover
## Approach
The existing code only hides the cursor when playing in fullscreen. Extend that to normal mode as well.
## Extra
Add in few new strings
4913: Can't slide volume slider in pop out mode
I first tried to handle this at the floating player level, but it was impossible to hack there due to how 'react-draggable' works (it already moved the window before the "move" handler is called, so we can't do much).
Fix by overriding the dragging behavior of the videojs' VolumeBar class by not propagating the event further. It is odd that videojs didn't already do this, since it's SeekBar does stop the propagation.
## Issue
4609: If claim search on latter page fails, don't clear out all previous data
## Note
This requires an accompanying change in `lbry-redux` to mark `claimSearchResultLastPageReached` during timeout and to not purge past results.
## Change
The previous flow was: increment the page, and expect the next render to either be 0 (timeout + purge) or fill in at least 1 new item.
Since it is now possible for no results to be returned for the new page (due to timeout + no purging), the code continues to make another query. This commit stops the perpetual querying.
## Test Case:
1. https://lbry.tv/$/discover?t=imherelbry&content=video&order=top&fresh=year
2. Scroll down a few pages until it timeout happens. Past results are gone.
## Issue
In the odysee branch, the tooltip for "Following" in the Sidebar was shown as "Following --[sidebar]--". In lbry.tv, the tooltip doesn't appear.
I believe the tooltip appeared due to the name change from 'label' to 'title' and then being passed to Button through '...passedProps'.
Fix by explicitly setting the Button's 'title' to the localized text.
I believe we don't translate these since this is already the translated form?
When the language is supported later, the English version will be added to the string database instead.
## Issue
4393: Tag query URL goes on indefinitely as you change between [Trending|New|Top]
## Change
Change from `append` to `set` when building the query to remove duplicates.
Flow hates null being not a string, so the FixMe was retained.
## Note from Russian translator
"To/From" in the 'automatic dark mode setting' cannot be re-used for the one in the 'Tip Modal'.
## Change
Wanted to split this into "general" and "time", but I'm guessing it won't satisfy all languages, so we'll just use the usage as the context since there's just 2 instances.
## Issue
4796 - i18n: Allow support for string overloading (multiple contexts)
## Approach
- Minimal code and process change.
- Handle on a case-by-case basis when reported by translators.
- Split the affected key in the string json by appending the context.
- Translators need to be aware of the new format and not translate context itself. Code is added to detect bad translations and will revert to English.
Sample in json:
"About --[About section in Help Page]--": "About",
"About --[tab title in Channel Page]--": "About",
Sample in client code:
title={__('About --[About section in Help Page]--')}
- "--[ ]--" was chosen as it's unique enough (unlikely for real strings to use it) and hopefully not that distracting in the client code.
- In the key itself, spaces are allowed after the string (i.e. before '--[') for neatness. It will be trimmed by the system.
## First example
"About" is used in 3 places:
- Channel Page
- Help Page
- Footer (in Odysee branch)
For Russian, the word "About" is "O" and is usually not used standalone, but requires something behind it. A translator said so, and seems to be the case in other sites as well.
"O xxx"
"O yyy"
## Other languages
For other languages that are not impacted, they can just clone the same translation for each of the split keys, just like in English.
## Possible enhancement in Transifex
I see that Transifex's API includes a `context` entry. It might be possible to move the context-metadata there during the upload, so translators will never see the "--[]--" messiness (it will be shown as "Context: xxx" in the Transifex GUI).
I'm not sure how to test the Transifex side, so I did not investigate further.
## Issue
4831: Videos start muted on Desktop (fresh install) and web (sometimes resets)
This covers the Desktop fresh install and Web fresh session (incognito) part. It doesn't cover the "sometimes reset" part as I don't know how to reproduce that.
## Change
`sessionStorage` is always empty when that piece of code is called, even for non-fresh Desktop and even in Brave. We now fallback to `1` when `volume` is `null`. Still not sure the purpose of that code, but leaving it there just in case something relies on it.
## Tests
[/] Desktop fresh-install is not muted.
[/] Desktop return session restores previous volume level.
[/] Web* fresh session (cleared data) is not muted.
[/] Web return session restores previous volume level.
*Web = Chrome, Firefox and Brave.
- "The publisher has chosen to" -- Fix incomplete string, probably broken by linter.
- Fix hardcoded email in invite snackbar.
- Fix 'Upload Settings' to new lower-case style.
- Add few more missing ones.
- Consolidated "Claim xxx" strings together.
- Removed duplicate "Confirming..." due to branch merging.
The "Report Content" button was the impetus for this, as there was no way to know what that button is for unless the user clicked it (or smart enough to decipher the icon).

## Issue
The abrupt cut-off of the expandable section bugs me (looks like a rendering glitch), especially when it cuts off in the middle of a line.
## Change
In addition to the existing 'More' button, we fade out the section to provide additional visual cues.
## Approach
This solution doesn't require the background color to be known, so it will work regardless where <Expandable> is used, or whatever color-scheme is chosen.
However, it does utilize non-standard css -- for older browsers, it should simply cut-off like the before.
This option allows users to bypass the "publish preview" modal. Users can disable it by checking "don't show this again" in the modal, and re-enable it in the Settings Page.
This requires an accompanying change in lbry-redux. Search for "SETTINGS.ENABLE_PUBLISH_PREVIEW" in the commit message to find the commit.
In Edit Mode, the preview will not appear. Not sure if it's needed, plus there are more things to handle in Edit mode (e.g. which items are changed)
Many of the creators including myself use transparency to achieve some effect. We all love PNGs and GIFs, so please dont shoot in your leg by limiting creative potential :)
For example: you can see the effect here, you can inspect lement and remove background color from channel "profile image": https://lbry.tv/@LBRYlytics:4
