Describe the Bug
When two clients are connected to the host, the first client (a modern phone) requests a 120 FPS stream. After the second client (an older phone) connects and requests 60 FPS, it still receives a 120 FPS stream. Since the second device cannot properly decode 120 FPS, it results in video lag and performance issues.
Expected Behavior
Each client should receive a stream that matches its requested frame rate. The second client should receive a 60 FPS stream instead of inheriting the 120 FPS setting from the first client.

@pedrocarlo This issue does not describe a problem. Is this a correctness thing or a code cleanup thing?
At the time I believe, it was a correctness thing because we did casted booleans differently in the different parts of the codebase. But after the we introduced the numeric module, now everything should be converting correctly. So I will close this issue!
