I might be wrong, but considering that the vibe streamer is somewhat based in adobe flash, I don't believe you'll have much luck streaming 'Real" formats through the adobe player.

The adobe flash player accepts .wav, .mpg, .flv, and a few others, but not rm(s).

Rm(s) are based in Real software, Real software is from separate company.
I would seem unlikely that the two 'competing' companies would kindly create ease of compatibility for an end user.

Your best bet is to look into Real Server Helix to stream .rm, .rv, or .rmvb files.

You can also try Unreal Media Server, but you'll probably have to add Helix based codecs to stream the .rm file(s).
