Javascript: Load External JS file inside JS File

I'm trying to load an external Javascript file from a website to a local js file.. i've tried this 

(function($) {  

  $("head").append('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://URL_TO_SITE/jquery.acornmediaplayer.js"></script>');

  setTimeout(function() {
    $('.jvideo').acornMediaPlayer();     

  }, 2000);

})(jQuery);

but it gives me

[object Object] has no method acornMediaPlayer

i've also tried $.getScript but it gives me the same result

My guess is you did not use getScript correctly. 

jQuery.getScript( url, success);

There is a success callback when it is done. Add the function call in there and do not use the timeout. 

$.getScript("http://URL_TO_SITE/jquery.acornmediaplayer.js", function(){
    $('.jvideo').acornMediaPlayer();
});
