stream failover

HI all,
We are using jwplayer for our live set on friday evening.
But on other days of the week we have a NON stop player active.
What we want is that JWplayer does a failover or something.

i mean: jwplayer has to look if the live stream (or url) is avainable ...if not failover to the non stop stream and start automaticly.

i looked every where on the forums and FAQ's but i can not find any solution for this.
I hope you all understand my question and maybe someone has a solution.

many many thanks in advance
Micheal

You can use our API for this, and onError() – http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1413089-javascript-api-reference

THANKS ETHAN
thanks for your answer...but i am allmost there

this is my code (from the example) ...but i wont play my non-stop stream ...aaahhhh
can you please help me for the last time...
many many thanks in advance ethan !

the full code :



<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="jwplayer.js"></script>
</head>

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">


<div id="container">&nbsp;</div>
<script>
jwplayer("container").setup({
file: "rtmp://fms.12E5.edgecastcdn.net/0012E5/videos/Qvxp3Jnv-68183.flv",
image: "http://s.jwpcdn.com/thumbs/RxiqSWej-640.jpg"
});
jwplayer().onError(function(){
jwplayer().load({file:"icastify.com/edm",image:"http://content.jwplatform.com/thumbs/7RtXk3vl-480.jpg"});
jwplayer().play();
});
jwplayer().onComplete(function(){
window.location = window.location.href;
});
jwplayer().onBuffer(function(){
theTimeout = setTimeout(function(){
jwplayer().load({file:"icastify.com/edm",image:"http://content.jwplatform.com/thumbs/7RtXk3vl-480.jpg"});
jwplayer().play();
},2000);
});
jwplayer().onPlay(function(){
clearTimeout(theTimeout);
});
</script>



<p>The above code will check for a buffer every 2 seconds. If no buffering is detected, we will load our error video yet again.</p>


</div>


</body>
</html>

That is why it doesn’t work.

We don’t support it, or shortcast, or any other type of radio cast.
