[AG-TECH] video consumer vic not always receive feeds... the video producer vic does instead

[Natalia Costas]

I cant tell for sure right now.. but i thought the feeds where delivered 
to both instances of vic when using video service instead of video 
producers and videoconsumer services...

I'll check it tomorrow.
