As no one replied to this, and following a suggestion in another posting, I looked at ../wp-content/plugins/sermon-browser/sb-includes/frontend.php and made the following change:
# This patch file was generated by NetBeans IDE
# It uses platform neutral UTF-8 encoding and \n newlines.

echo ap_insert_player_widgets(str_ireplace(‘ mp3=”%SERMONURL%”‘, ‘:’.$url, sb_get_option(‘mp3_shortcode’)));
return;
This made it possible to use the new default shortcode and play back mp3 files. Any other shortcode continues to get the buffering message ‘forever’.
It would still be good if one could use an HTML5 compatible audio player as mobile phones don’t all support Adobe Flash, needed by the default audio player.
