Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Adobe Systems for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server.
RTMP protocol is used by many well known web-sites such as MTV, VH1, Hulu, BBC.
Most popular open source audio/video players and tools currently do NOT support RTMP (they can't play RTMP audio and video streams or download them).

- Mammoth - formerly known as OpenFMS, is a server implementation that has implemented an RTMPE-compatible algorithm
RTMP Libraries:
- RTMPy [Python, MIT license] is a Twisted protocol for RTMP. The python project rtmpy aims to be a free software implementation of an RTMP library, whilst Tape intends to be a full streaming server (in Python).
