Description (last modified by Antoine Martin)

Seen with the win32 shadow server as tested for #2124.
Looks like some screen updates go missing. Likely to be scroll or video updates.

It seems that this only occurs reliably with the python3 version of the server.

with a python2 server, the server -d compress with html5 client "paint" debug enabled looks like this:

So the python3 server never triggers broadway picture decoded.

Using XPRA_SAVE_VIDEO_STREAMS=1 xpra shadow ..., then using ffmpeg to extract an image from the first frame:

ffmpeg -i window-1-0.1-x264.h264 -frames:v 1 -f image2 frame.png

I can see that the frames in that stream are just fine.
And ffprobe shows:

x264 encode YUV420P frame     0 as  IDR slice with 4 nals, tune=zerolatency, total  214879 bytes, keyframe=True , delayed=0

That's because the broadway decoder cannot handle the other profiles.

And so it is just the painful strings vs bytes from python3 (which is also a complete waste of CPU cycles):

we have to use a typedict function to lookup the key without caring if it's a string or bytes
we have to convert the result to a string so that it passes validation.

With python2, we don't need to worry about any of this nonsense.

Fixed in r22037.
