KB3176938’s Frame Server update visually

  1. M-JPEG and H.264 media types are available again (good)
  2. Nevertheless connected, H.264 video is not processed correctly; new bug or old one? Not clear. Even though it sort of works, in DirectShow it looks broken in another new way (this and not just this), perhaps a collateral damage and maybe never ever fixed…
  3. There is no camera sharing between the applications even though it was the justification for the changes in first place. For now Frame Server is just useless overhead, which adds bad stuff, is polished a bit to do not so much harm, and maybe turns to be good some time later.
    • for the record, the camera works in Skype when it is not consumed elsewhere concurrently

BTW the hack that bypasses FrameServer survived the update and remains in good standing.
