Can not play local video stream in iOS 7 when airplane mode is on

Question

I started a local http server to serve video streaming:

http://localhost:55736/videos/foo.m3u8

And use MPMoviePlayerController to play it. It works well in iOS6 no matter whether airplane mode is on or not.

But in iOS 7, when airplane mode is on (or turn off both WIFI and cellular data network), I got the Error:

_itemFailedToPlayToEnd: {
kind = 1;
new = 2;
old = 0;

}

In MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification handler:

NSConcreteNotification 0x146c35c0 {
  name = MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification; 
  object = <MPMoviePlayerController: 0x14682b90>;
  userInfo = {
    MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishReasonUserInfoKey = 1;
    error = "Error Domain=MediaPlayerErrorDomain Code=-11800....
  }
}

Try to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. It worked for me
