RTMP plugin is old

Hi, Rob. I've gotten Flowplayer through your module to play video via HTTP (plain download). Works really well.

Now I have six videos that need to be streamed from SimpleCDN. But first I want to get streaming to work with a known setup before trying to fetch the SimpleCDN stream.

I found this issue describing how it might work, but have been unable to sort it out:

gp.mazzola (#12) mentioned that he got it to work but I've been unable to play the stream with:

 echo theme('flowplayer', array(
  'clip' => array(
    'url' => 'Extremists.flv',
  ),
  'plugins' => array(
    'rtmp' => array(
      'url' => 'flowplayer.rtmp.swf',
      'netConnectionUrl' => 'rtmp://video1.advid.tv/druptest',
    ),
  ),
)); 

or moving the flowplayer plugin out of the module directory, per gp.mazzola's technique:

 echo theme('flowplayer', array(
  'clip' => array(
    'url' => 'Extremists.flv',
  ),
  'plugins' => array(
    'rtmp' => array(
      'url' => 'http://ppl.local:8888/sites/all/libraries/flowplayer/flowplayer.rtmp.swf',
      'netConnectionUrl' => 'rtmp://video1.advid.tv/druptest',
    ),
  ),
)); 

The window appears but without any controls. Do you have any suggestions of what I could try next? Did you get it to work yourself? Is that file still even available on advid's servers?
