[AG-DEV] expierences with AG3.0 beta2

[Matthew Clarkson]

Everything in the new version looks good, although, I did run into a few 
problems.

Computer used.
    Windows XP
    Dual Athlon MP 1800+
    Dual Osprey 100 capture cards

After I had installed all the required software (and checking versions 
as per the installation requirements) I was unable to connect to any 
venueclient, it was timing out immediately after trying to connect.  
Anyways,  I found that the solution to this problem was to install 
python 2.3.5 (upgrade from 2.3.2), this is linked from the AG3.0 install 
page; however, I thought I was good since I had Python 2.3.2 installed, 
since it only specifies 2.3.  Can this be changed, from 2.3 -> 2.3.5 as 
a requirement since other users may do the same as me in the future and 
think that they are good to go with their AG2.4 python version.

To be more specific, here are the errors I was receiving in my log 
(venueclient) before upgrading to 2.3.5

The second problem which I have run into deals with dual video capture.
For both capture cards on my computer, I have it set up as follows

AudioService
VideoService
VideoProducerService

The VideoService runs perfect, with no problems.  However, When I want 
to enable the 2nd video capture (through the VideoProducerService) I 
can't simply disable and then re-enable my video to bring up the 2nd 
capture (like I can with AG 2.x).  I must switch rooms to enable the 2nd 
capture.

Other than these problems I have encountered, everything seems to run fine.
