scheduling ads via javascript

Hi Team,

I'm adding ad tags via javascript but this below scripting doesn't work, please can you look at it.

var adSchedule="{";
function pushAd(adTime,adTag){
ctrl=true;
if(adTime=="pre" || adTime=="post"){
adStr='roll'+adRollCount+':{offset:"'+adTime+'",tag:"'+adTag+'"},';
}else{
adStr='roll'+adRollCount+':{offset:'+adTime+',tag:"'+adTag+'"},';
}
adSchedule = adSchedule.concat(adStr);
adRollCount++;
}
function commitAds(){
adSchedule = adSchedule.concat("}");
adSchedule = adSchedule.replace("},}", "}}");
}

//Below I'm passing generated 'adSchedule' string to the schedule tag
advertising: {
client: adtype,
'skipoffset':5,
schedule: adSchedule
},

A simple mp4 file, which is roughly 1 hour long, advertising team, wants there ads on pre, post and mid roll. they want it after 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 40 minutes.

So i thought, we might automate this thing, let the php guys when building jw-player, just call a javascript function to add ads, whenever they want.

But unfortunately this doesn't work, so I thought Ethan, Andrew, or anyone of your guys can help us out.

Ok,

I've changed pushAd function

var adArr=[];
function pushAd(adTime,adTag){
var subAd={};
subAd.offset=adTime;
subAd.tag=adTag;
adArr['adbreak'+adRollCount]=subAd;
adRollCount++;
}

//then i pass till to below tag
advertising: {
client: adtype,
'skipoffset':5,
schedule: adArr
},

//I add ads from html like this pushAd(offset,adtag);

//Please check below example
