RTMP playback not working for IMDb thunder player

[GoogleCodeExporter]

RTMP urls delivered by the IMDb thunder player are not properly parsed. I 
suspect this to be an issue with the RTMP player. You can test this out by 
trying to play a clip from How i met your Mother in the Popular TV Series 
category.

This is one of such urls (notice the odd <break> in there)

rtmp://flash.cbsig.net/video?e=1303520481&h=cd8e0abb6677af36d2f55e95d9177285
<break>flv/CBS_Production/CBS_Production_Entertainment/2010/10/18/Primetim
e/How_I_Met_Your_Mother/Clips/Webclips/520/696/HIMYM_PODCAST_EP_605__481029.mp4

Be sure to get the latest IMDb util by updating the site.

Looks like it is html and url encoded?
OnlineVideos does already UrlEncode any rtmp urls (GuiOnlineVideos.cs line 
1893) to be used with the reverse proxy.
If you do a HtmlDecode before sending the url to OnlineVideos, you'll get the 
<break> in the RTMP handler (but I tried and that won't play either (STRING: 
NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound)

I added Url decode to the returned RTMP link. Hope we can figure out what is 
missing on the player side. If you search on RTMP and <break> you get lot of 
hits discussing the same issue. Be aware that the link returned is only valid 
for a short period of time.

You can try CooJah 
(http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Blader-freeware-RTMP-downloa
der.htm) to see what rtmp parameters are used when playback in the browser 
works. This would help us find out what we need to send to the server.
