librtmp is a library made from RTMPdump, a toolkit for RTMP streams. XBMC comes with a copy of librtmp (compiled specifically for the OS XBMC is installed onto) for accessing streams, and often used in several add-ons. Sometimes, when websites that host the content for those add-ons change things, a new version of librtmp is needed for the add-ons/streams to work again.

XBMC only updates librtmp when there is a stable version available. While nightly versions of XBMC may contain new stable librtmp, stable versions of XBMC are normally only released once a year. However, you do not need to update all of XBMC to update librtmp, but just replace one file within the XBMC application.
