Android TCP error failed to resolve host name from static library

Question

I'm using ffmpeg on android and i have encountered and error, that does not occur when i'm using the library on my linux VM. I'm using FFmpeg Static Builds, from here. I am using the stable 3.1.5 x86_64 build on the emulator and the linux VM..

The emulator i'm using is genymotion API 22 nexus 6p, linux vm is ubuntu 16.04. The problem also occurs on my physical phone which is nexus 5 running cyanogenmod 6, API 22.

My Question is does android make some kind of restriction on static libraries? What is causing the issue ? I have no problem pinging the host right after i try to run the command, and it working fine !

ping -c 4 r8---sn-ivuoxu-ua8l.googlevideo.com

Some observation that i have made from my testing :

• The problem is not with the internet, since i can ping the host right after without problem.
• The problem is not with the url, i have tried with this one and i'm getting the same error https://video-cdn.buzzfeed.com/13800/mp4_640x640/1478210253
• The library is working fine on the linux VM, but not on the android, this may be an error with the implemetation(most definatly not), packaging (maybe), or android itself.

MAJOR EDIT :

I have just reread the readme file for the libraries and i noticed this:

 A limitation of statically linking glibc is the loss of DNS resolution. Installing
             nscd through your package manager will fix this or you can use
             "ffmpeg -i http://<ip address here>/" instead of "ffmpeg -i http://example.com/"

I gave found this function from c# , that might do what I need, :dns lookup msdn
