Livestream category improvements (#7115)
*  Remove old method of displaying active livestreams

Completely remove it for now to make the commit deltas clearer.
We'll replace it with the new method at the end.

* Fetch and store active-livestream info in redux

* Tiles can now query active-livestream state from redux instead of getting from parent.

*  ClaimTilesDiscover: revert and cleanup

## Simplify
- Simplify to just `uris` instead of having multiple arrays (`uris`, `modifiedUris`, `prevUris`)
- The `prevUris` is for CLS prevention. With this removal, the CLS issue is back, but we'll handle it differently later.
- Temporarily disable the view-count fetching. Code is left there so that I don't forget.

## Fix
- `shouldPerformSearch` was never true when `prefixUris` is present. Corrected the logic.
- Aside: prefix and pin is so similar in function. Hm ....

* ClaimTilesDiscover: factor out options

## Change
Move the `option` code outside and passed in as a pre-calculated prop.

## Reason
To skip rendering while waiting for `claim_search`, we need to add `React.memo(areEqual)`. However, the flag that determines if we are fetching `claim_search` (fetchingClaimSearchByQuery[]) depends on the derived options as the key.

Instead of calculating `options` twice, we moved it to the props so both sides can use it.

It also makes the component a bit more readable.

The downside is that the prop-passing might not be clear.

* ClaimTilesDiscover: reduce ~17 renders at startup to just 2.

* ClaimTilesDiscover: fill with placeholder while waiting for claim_search

## Issue
Livestream claims are fetched seperately, so they might already exists. While claim_search is running, the list only consists of livestreams (collapsed).

## Fix
Fill up the space with placeholders to prevent layout shift.

* Add 'useFetchViewCount' to handle fetching from lists

This effect also stashes fetched uris, so that we won't re-fetch the same uris during the same instance (e.g. during infinite scroll).

*  ClaimListDiscover: revert and cleanup

## Revert
- Removed the 'finalUris' stuff that was meant to "pause" visual changes when fetching. I think it'll be cleaner to use React.memo to achieve that.

## Alterations
- Added `renderUri` to make it clear which array that this component will render.
- Re-do the way we fetch view counts now that 'finalUris' is gone. Not the best method, but at least correct for now.

* ClaimListDiscover: add prefixUris, similar to ClaimTilesDiscover

This will be initially used to append livestreams at the top.

*  Re-enable active livestream tiles using the new method

* doFetchActiveLivestreams: add interval check

- Added a default minimum of 5 minutes between fetches. Clients can bypass this through `forceFetch` if needed.

* doFetchActiveLivestreams: add option check

We'll need to support different 'orderBy', so adding an "options check" when determining if we just made the same fetch.

* WildWest: limit livestream tiles + add ability to show more

Most likely this behavior will change in the future, so we'll leave `ClaimListDiscover` untouched and handle the logic at the page level.

This solution uses 2 `ClaimListDiscover` -- if the reduced livestream list is visible, it handles the header; else the normal list handles the header.

* Use better tile-count on larger screens.

Used the same method as how the homepage does it.

LBRY App - https://lbry.tv

This repo contains the UI code that powers the official LBRY desktop app, as well as lbry.tv. The LBRY app is a graphical browser for the decentralized content marketplace provided by the LBRY protocol. It is essentially the lbry daemon bundled with a UI using Electron.

Install

Windows Linux MacOS

We provide installers for Windows, macOS (v10.12.4, Sierra, or greater), and Debian-based Linux. See community maintained builds section for alternative Linux installations.

Windows macOS Linux
Latest Stable Release Download Download Download
Latest Pre-release Download Download Download

Our releases page also contains the latest release, pre-releases, and past builds. Note: If the deb fails to install using the Ubuntu Software Center, install manually via sudo dpkg -i <path to deb>. You'll need to run sudo apt-get install -f if this is the first time installing it to install dependencies

To install from source or make changes to the application, continue to the next section below.

Community maintained builds for Arch Linux and Flatpak are available, see below. These installs will need to be updated manually as the in-app update process only supports Debian installs at this time. Note: If coming from a deb install, the directory structure is different and you'll need to migrate data.

Usage

Double click the installed application to interact with the LBRY network.

Running from Source

You can run the web version (lbry.tv), the electron app, or both at the same time.

Prerequisites

  1. Clone (or fork) this repository: git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop
  2. Change directory into the cloned repository: cd lbry-desktop
  3. Install the dependencies: yarn

Run the electron app

yarn dev

  • If you want to build and launch the production app you can run yarn build. This will give you an executable inside the /dist folder. We use electron-builder to create distributable packages.

Run the web app for development

yarn dev:web

  • This uses webpack-dev-server and includes hot-reloading. If you want to debug the web server we use in production you can run yarn dev:web-server. This starts a server at localhost:1337 and does not include hot reloading.

Customize the web app

  • In root directory, duplicate the .env.default file and rename it to .env then copy the code below and paste it anywhere in the .env file.
cp .env.defaults .env
nano .env
  • To specify your own OG-IMAGE You can either place a png named v2-og.png in the /custom folder or specify the OG_IMAGE_URL in .env

  • To specify your own channels to be followed on first run AUTO_FOLLOW_URLS=lbry://@chan#123...a lbry://@chan2#456...a

  • If you want to customize the homepage content

  1. add CUSTOM_HOMEPAGE=true to the '.env' file
  2. copy /custom/homepage.example.js to /custom/homepage.js and make desired changes to homepage.js
  • If you want up to two custom sidebar links
PINNED_URI_1=@someurl#2/someclaim#4
PINNED_LABEL_1=Linktext

PINNED_URI_2=$/discover?t=tag&[queryparams]
PINNED_LABEL_2=OtherLinkText
  • Finally NODE_ENV=production yarn compile:web to rebuild Note: You don't need to edit the .env file in the /web folder - that is copied during compile.

Deploy the web app (experimental)

  1. Create a server with a domain name and a reverse proxy https to port 1337.
  2. Install pm2, node v10, yarn
  3. Clone this repo
  4. Make any customizations as above
  5. Run yarn to install
  6. Run NODE_ENV=production yarn compile:web to build
  7. Set up pm2 to start ./web/index.js

Run both at the same time

Run the two commands above in separate terminal windows

yarn dev

// in another terminal window
yarn dev:web

Resetting your Packages

If the app isn't building, or yarn xxx commands aren't working you may need to just reset your node_modules. To do so you can run: rm -r node_modules && yarn or del /s /q node_modules && yarn on Windows.

If you really think something might have gone wrong, you can force your repo to clear everything that doesn't match the repo with git reset --hard HEAD && git clean -fxd && git pull -r
