Has anyone tried this? Does this mean that iPhone/iPad users can finally use Sermon Browser?

I haven't tried this yet, but as I understand it, SkyFire only works with Flash video, not Flash applications. So I don't believe SkyFire will help us at all.
Just to be clear, it's not really Sermon Browser that the iPhone has a problem with, it is the AudioPlayer plugin, which is a Flash application. You could theoretically use a different audio player that was HTML5 based, and it should work fine on the iPhone. I haven't tried anything else, however, so I don't have a recommendation at this time.
For video, our church uses Vimeo. Vimeo has an embedded video player that works with HTML5, and with our Vimeo Plus account a mobile version of our sermon videos is created automatically. So if you look at one of our sermons with video (this one for example) on your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, it works great, with or without SkyFire.

That is a valid distinction, and yes, that's what I meant ( the audio player). So… in theory… how would one go about using a different player?

I just read a blog post that talks about modifying our beloved 1PixelOut WordPress Audio Player plugin to fall back to something iPhone-friendly if Flash is not present:

I don't have time to try this right now, though, so if anyone gets a chance to try it before I do, please post here with the results. :)

Quickly implemented that fix on our church site. Seems to work fine. Added detection for iPad, Android and WP7 too.
Image needs some work though :-P

Implemented that fix from http://blueprint.intereactive……ut-player/ on our dev site, and it seems to work like a charm! … iPhone user who can't listen to sermons on the main site, said that the dev site works. Thanks for finding that, and providing it to us!

Only one issue I found… I have a blind user who couldn't "see" the blue "play" button. I merely added an alt tag to the blue button and after that he was fine.

I finally have this implemented on our church's site, and it's working great for us as well.
Rich: thanks for the tip about the alt tag.
thebookfreak58: I added the ipad detection as well, although I haven't tested it yet. Do you think that the android and WP7 detection is needed? I don't have an android or windows phone; do they display the flash player?
