Lbry-desktop: Misleading thumbnails (or lack thereof) on channel pages

[m160]

The Issue

With the limit of only displaying 10 thumbnails on the channel pages, some can be misled to believe that this is all the content on a particular channel, especially if the screen size/resolution leaves an open space on the two last thumbnail 'spots' (see screenshot below)

There's a 'go to page' below the thumbnails, but it can be off the screen in window mode.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to channel page
   2.
   

Expected Behaviour

All 'spots' having a thumbnail if there's enough content on the channel.

Actual Behaviour

Two 'spots' are blank.

Suggested Solutions

1. Display thumbnails in the empty spots.
2. Put a tile in the empty spot saying 'Next Page'.

System Configuration

• LBRY Daemon version: 0.22.2
• LBRY App version: 0.22.0
• LBRY Installation ID: 2XLeCW8MRiQYbQvU57s3aFVvvGFqymwMuBngLZTL9qWHNazFkSauVgyq6Hdib8ieqr
• Operating system: Windows 10

Anything Else

Would be nice if more thumbnails was displayed on each page of the channel too.

Thanks for filing this! My original suggestion was to have some type of indicator at the end that more pages are available - since some people overlook the page indicator at the bottom. Another option is to fetch content dynamically to fill up the entire area (doesn't solve the issue of users not knowing there's a next page). I'm sure @Invariant-Change would want lazy scroll here - and maybe that's now possible with the quick resolve times :)

I put that under suggested solutions: 2. Put a tile in the empty spot saying 'Next Page'.
When the page is filled up with thumbnails it's more natural to try to scroll though.

If lazy scroll is what YouTube does, I prefer pages. A couple more rows of thumbnails per page would be nice though.

We also discussed bringing in more than 10 results. 24 seems to work on all screen sizes. https://lbryio.github.io/lbry/cli/#claim_list_by_channel

Closing, this is no longer an issue after increasing number of tiles on channels.
