* windows host installers are now distributed as 64-bit executables
If a new client connects but there has not been a capture timeout the
new client count wont be zeroed on a valid capture. If there is a
timeout later the host will still think there is a new client and
re-send a frame when it should not. This fixes this by reading the value
on a valid frame which zeros the new subs count.
This allows the client to work when the OpenGL implementation fails if
EGL_RENDER_BUFFER is passed, printing a warning. This should fix issues
with Nvidia proprietary drivers on Wayland.
NVIDIA still do not implement a complete/working DMABUF implementation
yet advertise support. Best to tell the public to complain to NVIDIA
instead of assuming it's a LG bug or an issue with their system.
filters are now not run if `egl_filterSetup` returns false, as such we
do not need additional `enable` checks in `prepare` or `run` and we can
bypass the filters even earlier if they are not enabled reducing load.
Since this->prepared will never be set to true unless the filter is
enabled, this results in the framebuffer setup being done every frame
for no reason, causing a lot of texture reallocations.
