jwplayer javascript API with OVA plugin

I setup my video like this:

<div id="container">Loading...</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
	jwplayer('container').setup({
	'width': 700,
	'height': 400,
	'file': 'VIDEOLINK',
    'plugins': {
       'ova-trial': true	
    },
   	'config' : 'jwplayer/config.xml',
    'modes': [
        {type: 'html5'},
        {type: 'flash', src: 'jwplayer/player.swf'},
        {type: 'download'}
    ]
});
</script>

It took me a long time to find out how to use ova-trial. Now I have a licensed version of the OVA plugin and I just don't see how to use it. Are there files I have to upload for it to work? How do I call it?

Another question: is there a way to config without an external config.xml file? Can I do this inline and if so - how?

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a link to where this is not working?

The problem is not that it isn't working - my problem is that I don't even know how to do it.

- use the licensed version of the OVA plugin
- use inline xml config

How do I do it?

I am not sure what you are asking then?

Okay, why doesn't this work:

jwplayer('container').setup({
	'width': 700,
	'height': 400,
	'file': '<?php echo $video; ?>',
    'plugins': {
       'ova': ''	
    },
   	'ova.json' : {
		"ads": {
			"servers": [{
				"type": "OpenX",
				"apiAddress": "vast.txt"
			}],
			"notice": { "textStyle": "smalltext" },
			"displayCompanions": true,
			"companions": [{
				"id":"companion",
				"width":"200",
				"height":"240"
			}],
			"schedule": [{
				"zone": "47",
				"position": "pre-roll", 
				"server": {
					"type": "direct", 
					"tag": "http://domain.de/vid?<? echo rand(100,999); ?>" 
				}
			},
			{
				"zone": "48",
				"position": "auto:bottom",
				"width": 320,
				"height": 80,
				"startTime": "00:00:02",
				"duration": "5"
			}]
		}
   	},
    'modes': [
        {type: 'html5'},
        {type: 'flash', src: 'jwplayer/player.swf'},
        {type: 'download'}
    ]
});

This doesn't play my preroll ad. Is my plugin call correct? 'ova' : '' ?

I don't think your ad tag is a valid video ad.

When I go to - http://austria1.adverserve.net/RealMedia/ads/adstream_sx.ads/ip-oesterreich/AUSTRIA9/1[1112884768]@Video1 in the browser, I don't really see anything...

Well is my configuration correct?

'ova.json' : '...'

and

'plugins': {
   'ova': ''
}

Just tell me ... is this CORRECT syntax or not?

Yes, that is correct.

But it works here:

With the same video ad url. so something's wrong with my code.

I HAVE to use the javascript API. Please help me make it work with javascript.

This is different though.

Why not just use - config: 'http://www.austria9.at/wp-content/themes/austria9/jwplayer/config.xml', in your JW Embedder code?

Because I need a random number in my video link. Like this:

.../1[RANDOMNUMBER]@Video1...

Thats why I can't use a config.xml.

Got it.

I am not 100% sure here, but if you ask in the OVA forums, the developer should be able to help you - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/forums/open-video-ads/ova-for-jw-player/
