How do I change the text used in the player?

There are two pieces that I need to change, that I don't see any options for in the javascript API.

1. When I begin RTMP streams from wowza, they very often fail a couple of times with "ID not found on server." I'm using jwplayer().load({ image: url }); in the onError event handler, but the error message still shows up. Since that error doesn't mean anything to the end-user, I don't want them to see it.

2. When streaming, the toolbar shows the text "Live Broadcast." How do I get rid of that text?

1) The best way to do this would be to use the API – http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1442607-example-a-custom-error-message

2) That cannot be changed I’m afraid. However, in 6.9, the title variable will be able to override this, it is due to be released within ~2 weeks.

The page you linked to uses jwplayer().load() to play a video. I'm using it with { image: } because I don't have an error video to play, but it shows the error message over top of the image. Is there any way to hide or rewrite that error message?

You cannot change the messages in the player. Another thing you could do is simply remove the player entirely on error and replace it with an image.
