How to watch RTMP/RTMPE streaming in MPlayer using rtmpdump

Also the latest version of MPlayer uses the same librtmp library as rtmpdump.

are you saying you can play rtmp links inside mplayer? using "MPlayer SVN Windows with SMPlayer GUI"? just redownloaded and reinstalled mplayer 0.6.9 again to be sure and opened the url and smplayer keeps trying to play the rtmp link and failing. i'll keep trying smplayer along with vlc then. again player doesn't matter it was just recommended alot

and sorry your links are dead ends and don't work and i think its because its not specific to ustream. again i don't want to download. i just want to play it in a player without downloading. and again even if playing while downloading its not stable and after playing for about a minute it stops. so i hope there is a simple gui program that can just play rtmp by not adding a save as the only option some day. thanks
