HTML resource not showing up in VAST non-linear overlay

Hello,

I am setting up a JW Player instance with non-linear VAST overlay ads. The ads are working perfectly with <StaticResource creativeType="image/jpeg"></StaticResource> tags, but when I try to use <HTMLResource> or <IFrameResource> tags for my ad content, JW Player's adError() fires with "Ad Tag Empty".

The following tag (with <HTMLResource> tags) works with Google's VAST testing tool (https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/html5/vastinspector), but not in my JW Player instance.

<VAST version="2.0">
