So, what they are sending over port 80 is not HTTP, and therefore your
current proxy probably will refuse to pass it.

Probably IPCop's Transparent mode operates by stealing all outbound
port 80 traffic and forcing it through the proxy, which is a good
approach in many circumstances; but your "Enabled on Green" setting I
guess is overriding it, by making the use of the proxy explicit
instead of implicit. I would have hoped that if these two settings
were contradictory something in the UI at least would tell you,
though.

But then again I use pfSense and don't have an HTTP proxy in my
network; I'd rather support the extra redundant traffic in order to
have a simpler network (i.e. one that allows me to do odd things that
still work!)

You are ascribing more intent than necessary; it isn't "blocking"
RTMPE, it just passes only valid HTTP, which this isn't (also be
careful with your acronyms, you typo'd "RTMPTE" there which isn't
anything except a well-known typo for RTMPE!)
