iOS 10.3.1 breaks streaming over cellular?

[Michael McNamara]

An addendum to this issue…  It appears to be the case that there are no problems over cellular when using a named host.  A host with an IP address however, fails.

Hi All,

I’ve been chasing down webcam streaming issues in recent days and it seems as though iOS 10.3.1 may have broken streaming via webcams (MJPEG and h264 / RTSP) over cellular networks using GStreamer.  I’m just wondering if anyone else can confirm that?  Streaming via wifi works no problem.  The issue doesn’t exist in iOS 10.2.x or earlier.  I’ve tried multiple versions of GStreamer (1.11.90, 1.10.4, 1.8.3, 1.6.4) using gst-player and playbin and they all exhibit the same behavior when used in an iOS app.

 I’ve tried a number of internet accessible cameras. Initially I thought this might be due to the fact that some lower level networking libraries on iOS will not wake the cellular radio.  As a test I created a simple socket server that made certain the cellular radio was always active, but there was no difference.  Curiously souphttpsrc logs that it got headers:

souphttpsrc gstsouphttpsrc.c:1034:gst_soup_http_src_got_headers:<source> got headers

even when it’s reporting the network as unreachable.  This doesn’t seem like a GStreamer issue per se (as it has worked up until very recently), but I thought I’d throw it out there to see if anyone else is having issues or, better yet, has a solution!
