It's an flv stream, I believe. The native videoview won't ever play this format, while Vitamio will. The problem is, however, that the version of ffmpeg used to build Vitamio doesn't not support non-seekable streams (such as that given out by rtmpgw). This is why rtmpgw won't start streaming when sent an http GET request from Vitamio. The latest version of ffmpeg does support this, however, and hopefully a future build of Vitamio will include this too.

That's the reason for your (and my) pain.
