Description
The Issue
We recently made some improvements to download failure notifications (https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/pull/1768) but looks like we are running into a bug in the below scenario. You can still click "View" but it doesn't have the right color/mouseover.
- Click play on lbry://oldmovie
- Navigate away, wait 5 minutes
- Go back to lbry://oldmovie
- Notice the app shows connecting and the play button is greyed out.
The status should reset. If we want to be really creative, we should show some text on the file page that it failed to download previously, and to try again later.

Research direction
No file or test is named. First reproduce the four-step scenario: start the oldmovie download, navigate away for five minutes, return, and confirm the connecting state and greyed-out play button. Done means the failed download status resets when returning to the file page; the suggested retry text is optional.
