 * Hello,
 * My site (www.womptv.com) depends highly on this plug-in and since the update 
   to HTML5 it only works with the Flash player. When I get the code from Soundcloud
   itself via share button and edit my widget it works fine but defeats the purpose
   of the shortcode. I would love to get the short code working with HTML5 so i 
   may go back to just copying and pasting the url between the SC shortcode tags.
 * I loko forward to any response and hope this issue is resolved.
 * Rico

 * I can’t get the HTML5 version of the Shortcode to work at all. I’ve installed
   the plugin and tried putting all these options into my blog with no luck.

 * Have you tried making the URL character codes into their original characters 
   Methead?
 * ie:
 * `url=http://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1636772… etc’
