Chapter markers with cloud player and Wowza

I use the JW cloud player and stream videos from my Wowza server. The embedded video on my webserver (which is different than my Wowza server) plays fine using Cupertino streaming. I went to add a VTT file for chapters for a single video and it doesn't seem to be working.

The VTT file looks like:

WEBVTT

Chapter 1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:31:27.190
Opening & Overview

Chapter 2
00:31:27.190 --> 00:40:07:230
Memory & Aging Project Satellite

It's saved as UTF8 with extension of .VTT and I've verified it's on my webserver in the same directory as the HTMLS file that has the embedded video. My embed code for the video looks like:


jwplayer('playerTvoIvfmmuofi').setup({
file: 'video streaming path',
image: 'banner image path',
tracks: [{
file:'part14chapters.vtt',
kind:'chapters'
}],
title: '2014 Participants\' Meeting',
width: '720',
height: '540',
skin: 'bekle',
ga: '{}',
sharing: '{}'
});

I added the Crossdomain XML file to the root of my webserver with the "allow all" setting just as a test and it made no difference. With the cloud player and using my own Wowza server, how can I get the chapters VTT file to work? Also, I'd prefer to only allow the cloud player access to my webserver for the VTT files and no every server in the world.

Thanks for any help.
