[AG-TECH] Is there a Venue Client time out?

[Andrew A Rowley]

Hi,

I expect that the timeout on the client is likely to be an inactivity timeout on the Jabber server (suggested by the fact that the video and audio were still running in the morning).  This is a sort of bug in that the Jabber client probably should send keep-alive messages to the server (or the timeout should be disabled on the Jabber server).

Andrew :)
