rtmpdump outputs a file which works in mplayer and ffplay for me.
i can also play your url in mplayer and ffplay.

i can also convert your file:
ffmpeg -i http://simplewebcode.com/output_file.flv out.avi
out.avi then plays fine for me.

maybe your ffmpeg tools (super) are too old? try getting newer versions.

versions tested:
FFmpeg version SVN-r25094
FFplay version SVN-r25094
MPlayer SVN-r31372-4.2.5
MPlayer SVN-r32355-3.4.5
