It looks like you are using JW Player 5, or perhaps JW Player 4. I would get [JW Player 6](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-jw-player-with-wowza-streaming-engine), then use their [javascript API](http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/28851/javascript-api-reference) as discussed in this [JW Player forum thread](http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/forums/jw-player/servers-and-streaming/34066/rtmp-reconnection-functionality-in-jw-player-6/).

There was once a JW Player plugin for versions 4 and 5 that would wait for and reconnect a live stream as you describe, but it doesn’t seem to available any longer.
