Replay

Please describe how to replay the bug?

Step 1: Set up an SRS server using Docker according to the documentation, with no external network connection in the local area network.

objs/srs -c conf/rtmp2rtc.conf

Step 2: Use OBS to push RTMP stream, and play it using Chrome WebRTC Player. The video is normal.

Step 3: Wait for about 10~50 minutes, the video playback in Chrome gets stuck, and SRS logs the above information. OBS streaming is normal.

Control Test 1: Restore external network connection in the local area network, and repeat Step 2 without any abnormalities.

Control Test 2: Disconnect external network connection in the local area network, add the configuration line query_latest_version off;, and repeat Step 2 without any abnormalities.

Expect

The version query feature #2424 should not have any impact on the main business under any circumstances.

This is essentially due to the DNS resolution blocking, as referenced in https://github.com/ossrs/srs/issues/2112

The version query will only query an SRS API domain, so it will trigger this issue.

In fact, when RTC uses a domain name, if the callback has a domain name, this issue will also occur.

Therefore, the final solution to this problem is to resolve issue #2112.

Temporary Workarounds:

1. Turn off version query: query_latest_version off;
2. Avoid using domain names in callbacks.
3. Avoid using domain names in RTC, including CANDIDATE and API.

Update: We have disabled the version querying by query_latest_version off in SRS 5+, see ee6a68d24ca165d917b26414a4168d265363d9d1 and 84b184dd5309096f9df97967af878ecd7cb36da6
