Zoom needs update breaks zoomrec about zoomrec

[Harald-Neumann]

After updating, I had a problem with the zoom/qt plugin xcb loading.
The problem was that pyautogui sets some qt environment variables, which cause Zoom to load pyQts version of xcb and not the normal one. I fixed it by os.environ.copy() and then deleting the qt related keys. Then pass it in as the env keyword argument in Popen.

Also, newer versions of pyautogui throw an exception when the image is not found, instead of returning None.

Also, setting the environment variable QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 lets Zoom log more debug information.

I thought this might help if someone encounters similar problems.

5.13.5 is here https://cdn.zoom.us/prod/5.13.5.363/zoom_amd64.deb
In 5.16.6, the font used in the application has changed, so we may need to retake the screenshots.

Hey @Harald-Neumann , thanks for the pointers!
I actually still have problems with zoomrec after the update. Could you please make a PR or fork branch? Also, could you upload a docker image from your container (in case you have one)?
Otherwise I'll try to reproduce the instructions you gave in your comment.

Thank you for the link! I will try with this version to check if there are any errors.

What do you mean retake screenshots? Is this needed for error handling or do you train some OCR model to identify the areas to click?

There are images here to identify buttons and areas. https://github.com/kastldratza/zoomrec/tree/master/res/img

I have created a fork.
It uses the version of Zoom suggested by @takahashi-shotaro.

However, the changes are just quick and dirty, and the Python script is not adapted (in case there are any breaking changes in Zoom).
