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

This slipped by me when I first read it - but, reading this again, it suggests that you might not be complying with the LGPL license.  Note that the LGPL license requires that people who receive any product that uses the LIVE555 library be able to - if they wish - replace the LIVE555 library with their own version (that uses the same API).

If your Android app does not allow this, then it cannot use the LIVE555 library; see
