[AG-TECH] venue client only sees some local nodes but all video/audio streams ok?

[gurcharan khanna]

Dean,

Yes, you're right. Switching to unicast doesn't help. Seems the venue 
client itself is the only
part of AG that doesn't see all the participants--it sees two buildings 
but not two other bldgs.
Could this still be a networking issue? Or is it a Venue Client issue? 
BTW, the DVTS streams
also follow what the Venue Client sees and doesn't see the sources the 
Venue Client doesn't
see. I guess that makes some sort of sense.

Any thoughts?
