Android: No option to select secondary video tracks

I am using ffmpeg to capture multiple video streams from UVC cameras into a single matroska container. In VLC for GNU/Linux, there is an option in Video --> Video Track to select second, third, nth video track for playback/review.

In VLC for Android, there is no such option.

My application is for recording front/rear/left/right cameras in an automobile for safety and defensive purposes.

This limitation makes it impossible to review rear/left/right cameras until copying the data off from the car to a laptop.

Being able to display the video to police immediately can be essential.

I suggest the video track selection option be added to the audio/subtitle track selection menu.
