[Live-devel] Can't play RTSP streams on some Android devices (LibVLC). "setsockopt(SO_REUSEPORT) error: Protocol not available"

I'll have a look into it, thank you. If opting-out of the SO_REUSEPORT is not a breaking change in any manner (is it?), the solution may just be as simple as patching said cpp file to ifndef on the __ANDROID__ (or similar) define. Wouldn't it be better though to add a runtime check for compatibility in the cpp code instead of if(n)def-ing that region of code (or in addition to)?

No can do, sadly. We are talking of Android devices here (app developing), end users are those who download the app from the Play Store.
