handle inability to get frames, remove assumption of FPS * frames = sec #7

Should not hang and freeze the ratio numbers at whatever they were latest. Should use time more exactly and not trust the fps request made to the server.

This is partially well handled by framedrop, and currently the system at least realizes when it hasn't got frames in awhile; but it still fails to flush the whole motion time buffer when it loses connectivity.

Optimally, it'd just 'miss' motion during the period when the camera was down, and consider that nothing changed during that time - but recognize that time passed. This should naturally flow from removal of the assumption that FPS * frames = sec.
