I think i've another problem with regards to AccessGrid 3.1 , the new
problem is that basic VideoConsumerService failed to start on the sender
machine and can not know why , but i've traced the venueclient log , and
noticed there that there is something wrong which i can not figure out how
to solve it , here is the debug info :

http://pastebin.com/maa3bf08

the log shows that the service was about to start automatically but for some
reasons it failed , i tried also to start it from AccessGrid node management
menu , but a pop-up message appeared containing the same error message :


> Add Servicd Failed : VidoeConsumerService
>

any workaround to solve this problem ?

Regards

Muhammad
