  RTMP is an undocumented and proprietary protocol. That said, I've 
been reverse engineering RTMP for a while, and making good progress. As 
I'm also writing Cygnal, an FMS 3 clone, I've been implementing RTMP on 
the server side as well. I have RTMP mostly working in a standalone 
utility, so after that's done, it still needs to be merged into Gnash. 
This won't be a trivial task, as it involves refactoring much of the low 
level I/O system. Anyway, I'm working on, it, would love involvement 
from others that want to help with this effort. So RTMP-flv-playback 
doesn't work yet, maybe in a few more months.

  VLC also has new RTMP support in git, it's not complete yet though.
